I've barely been able to stand season one (the writing is some of the worst I've encountered outside of Network TV and the direction is so clunky; good actors are falling flat on their faces and it isn't their fault). I kept going because of Claire and Mandy -- mostly Mandy; even Claire has awkward turns in this. But if I'm already out on S1, seems like I'm not gonna get much out of S2 and beyond. I'll finish S1 since we only have two episodes left and maybe give S2E1 a shot. But I don't think this show is for me.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Totally. It can be done. But there's so much else out there now. It feels silly to push forward for seven more seasons. But we'll see how S1 plays out.

That animated Harley Quinn show is very good. I'm about halfway through S01 and really enjoying it. Great voice cast.
I'm also watching Mrs. Davis but kind of struggling to finish it even though it's only 8 episodes. I was into it at the beginning, but a few too many twists and turns, and it's hard to still care where it's going.

I haven't kept up with it, but I watched a few episodes and thought Bane was hilarious

Yeah, Bane is great. Ron Funches as King Shark is another favourite.
Every character is perfectly cast. Jacob Tremblay as an adorable little Robin was hilarious.
