I haven’t watched Episode 4 yet so I haven’t read all your spoilers, but I just wanted to join in the conversation.
Yeah Godless wasn’t QG level, but still pretty solid. Its disappointing there wasn’t another season. Feels like there should be at least one good actual western series running. I’ve resorted to trying to slog through Frontier.

We had an excellent watch party for that if you want to time warp back to our discussion in the watch party thread

I read that the undoing is only six episodes???wtffffffff
Good. And for the love of christ keep it as a contained mini-series. I am jumping ship if they announce s2.

Ya I didn’t open the article but when I Googled there was a headline about no season 2 confirmed at least as of yet, they kept the night of to 1 season tho, shoulda kept big little lies to 1 as well
I am in total agreement about Big Little Lies. Having said that! Season 2 is fantastic and I’m making an exception just this once.
Yea I enjoyed season 2 as well, but easily coulda been kept to 1

The US needs to embrace the one off stand alone series instead of being money grubbing capitalist pigs trying to drain every last cent out of something.

Yeah, I find my self much more enjoying shows that have a contained one season story.
The UK is much better at doing it. They’re also better at doing shorter seasons of regular shows so the quality doesn’t dip.
I think British television set the mold with I, Claudius. Give us a one-season drama with a definitive ending. In America, the shows drag on for years and years until we discover the lead actor is a sex pest or there’s a pandemic and production has to shut down and we get a completely unsatisfying ending.

The New Mutants is inconceivably awful. I mean on every level it is one bad decision after another.
There is one funny part where they added a CGI television in the background playing an episode of Buffy to convince us this wasn’t originally shot as though taking place in the 80s.
I will have to check, but while the episode of Buffy playing was s4e10 “Hush,” I’m pretty sure none of the footage on the TV is actually from that episode. Did they CGI fan fiction footage??
I’ve been watching Outlanders. I originally started years ago but my bf wasn’t so onboard so I stopped watching. Back into it again and I’m on the second season which I don’t like quite as much as the first. I think I have a thing for kilts 
Great idea
I’ll have a think on Julia.

Re: Julia
Perhaps it’s the old “sad, broken puppy can be fixed” syndrome? Like she’s seen flashes of a good person in him, feels bad for him, and wants to make him all better?
Yeah, even in real life relationship dynamics are not rational. Most people learn how relationships work by watching their parents. Since many, many parents have outrageously terrible relationships that’s usually the simplest explanation for why Person A inexplicably is in a relationship with Person B. If the show was real life, my first guess would be that Julia’s mom was in a relationship with a shitty loser and loved him against all reason. Lo and behold that’s what happens to the daughter as well.

RE: Julia
That’s how co-dependency works. People like her come to a relationship with baggage to begin with, and then the addict essentially preys upon them.
