I still drink twice a week. Half a fifth of whiskey, normally for when I play due to my nerves. Have my medical card, and I’ve switched to sugar free about 3 months ago. Sugar was harder to quit than heroin. I guess believing in yourself can make one do things they never thought before. 2 and a half years no opiates and a year and a half no speed!

Saw two first eps;

Shrinking with Jason Segal; really horrible. Bad comedic timing, awful lighting , super obvious and cheesy moments. The only good stuff comes from Harrison Ford, and he is very underused.

Poker Face; looks awesome and has a great vibe. I’m kinda sad that Lyonne is starring here. I don’t quite get her character and seems Johnson is making another Benoit Blanc.

On the fence with the latter; but I’ll saw two more at least.

I've only seen a few trailers of Poker Face, but nothing really jumped out at me at all. What's the hook?

at least in the first ep is kinda of a intrigue show on a casino in Las Vegas, and the main character has some kind of power that allows her to tell if people is lying or not.

Slow Horses was great.

I think I’m probably done with Poker Face after 1 episode, I downloaded the next 3, but at no time over the past 3 days have I said to myself, “Wow, I really want to watch the next episode!”

Watched the first Cunk on Earth. Very funny.

I was expecting it to be another self-loathing British show or one of those shitty Daily Show ripoffs that form so many RMer personalities, but it seems like it was concerned with actually being funny instead of preachy. Good job.
