Ooh this looks interesting.
so so good, but emotionally heavy and darker than trailers and promos suggested
You had me at 80s New York.
Hadn't heard of this until Ms H's post. I didn't watch a trailer or anytime but I'm super in!
if you like the sound of Breaking Bad, mixed with Pose, mixed with Spike Jonze's Where The Wild Things Are, mixed with Sesame Street, you'll dig it as much as me
Holy shit yes!
Yeah this is good halfway through. They’re nailing 80s NYC.
I see the aesthetic though I am not completely sold on it being such a strong showing that it stands out. I also think location is something that certainly builds with time.
That said, I got through one E1 and a bit of E2, when Cumberbatch started hitting the booze rock-star hard I decided to take a breather.
Just finished E5, I will hate watch E6... this series realized (thus far) nothing and was not particularly good.

Heard about this today on The Watch podcast and I'm super interested.
Say hi to Leonard for me.
This was a nice little watch, three episodes was the perfect length.

Finished season 2 of Succession. These episodes fly by. Damn, Kendall.

I almost feel sorry for Tom. I don't lol much for whatever reason, but his sunglasses and chicken move on Logan got me.

I love this godforsaken show.

I started a series rewatch of Sex and the City a few weeks ago. I'm into S3 right now. This show really was the fucking best.

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.
