That was a different woman.

oh ok, good lol, obviously not paying super close attention, other lady is crazy i guess

Yeah, very much looking forward to both of these.

Papa is in town visiting and heā€™s been marathoning Boston Legal. Heā€™s up to Season 4 (2004) and of course itā€™s chock full of political references of the day. Remember when all we thought we would ever have to worry about was being held indefinitely without trial at Gittmo? What an innocent time.

S3 was pretty meh, but if he can deliver something even half as good as S1 or S2 Iā€™m going to be super happy.

Still havenā€™t watched Fargo for some reason. Have it queued up as next thing to watch with gf after weā€™re done with Dark (currently halfway through S3).

S1 was amazing. S2 was imo the single greatest season of a TV show ever made. S3 was OK, but nowhere near the quality of the first two.

Personally I think Fargo is the most overrated show of at least the last half-decade, but Iā€™m aware thatā€™s a rather minority opinion.

I loved s1 but couldnā€™t make it through any of the remaining seasons

S1 is my favorite, then 2, then 3. Theyā€™re all good though.

finishing Iā€™ll be gone in the dark now, meh, i feel like the entirety of the show was lacking in content i dunno, thats probably not correct but i found it boring.

I loved the true crime part but also was emotionally invested in the arc of Patton and Michelleā€™s relationship. Iā€™ve dealt with addiction and being in relationships with addicts for so long. I couldnā€™t turn away from her spiral and him afterward awakening to what had been right under his nose, reflecting on what he might have done to enable her addictions, but also trying to make peace with how much of that was always going to be beyond his control regardless of his awareness.

It offered a heartbreaking parallel to the Golden State Killerā€™s wife, his family, people who perceived him to be loving and compassionate and now must contend with discovering the person you most admire may have a secret beyond your imagination.

Just to elaborate, I thought season 1 was fine when I first watched it, but the more I thought about it afterward, the less it made sense to me. Season 2 I felt actively insulted by, like they barely wrote a story and thought that would be fine as long as they filled in the gaps by just straight lifting scenes from Coen Brothers movies, or having pseudo-philosophical monologues that donā€™t actually make any sense.

If you had told me that in the year of our spaghetti Lord 2020 that Stuck On You would have aged better than Dumb and Dumber or Thereā€™s Something About Mary, Iā€™d have called you silly, and yet Iā€™m telling you to watch this movie tonight. Itā€™s charming. Itā€™s funny. Itā€™s empowering. Itā€™s got motherfucking Cher in a starring role next to Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, and a cameo by Meryl Streep.
