Enlightened was such a good show!

Ahh, thereā€™s so much stuff to watch! Well, mostly comedy, I canā€™t think of much new in drama that interests me. Shit, you can knock out a season of I Think You Should Leave in the time it takes to watch a movie.

Watchmen?

well thatā€™s showing up weird.

Also, for those looking for something to watch, if you havenā€™t seen Pose, you need to watch it. Itā€™s fantastic.

Didnā€™t like watchmen at all. It would have been interesting if they explored the line in the trailer: ā€œYou know how you can tell the difference between a masked cop and a vigilante? Me neither.ā€ And I kind of thought they were going there for a few episodes, but man, they really really werenā€™t.

Iā€™ll check that out.

In the meantime, Iā€™ve started Season 2 of The Good Place, and while it fell flat for me in the first season, Iā€™m finding Season 2 interesting enough to hold my attention.

Were you a fan of the comics? I think Watchmen was very good, but only for fans of the original series.

Never read it. And yeah, I think you might be right. Like the series seemed to expect me to know who Mr. Manhattan was and care about him becauseā€¦I donā€™t know.

Imo it peaked in season one, but you might have a different experience. Enjoyed it all until the last season where it kind of ran out of ideas.

Iā€™ve been enjoying Kevin Can F##k Himself, especially related to the sitcom vs dramedy structure.

However, her desire to kill him rather than just leave him still feels illogical and pulls down an otherwise enjoyable show.

I find Iā€™m enjoying it more now that the big reveal has already been revealed, and theyā€™re just riffing on that theme now, whereas the big reveal itself fell flat for me.

Interesting. I liked season 1 and season 2, but 3 and 4 were a downturn for me and I was really disappointed by the ending.

Anyway, if you ever need comedy recommendations, I got a ton of 'em. (Plus a couple of good dramas from last year; I really liked The Great and The Good Lord Bird.)

Cat People on Netflix

A documentary about people with a strong love for cats. First episode is a cat rapper. Second episode is a woman with a live cat show.

If you like cats Iā€™d recommend it.

Im curious if the two bad episodes you have of Bobs Burgers are the same as mine

goddamn I must have a very specific form of dyslexia that intermittently ignores double consonants and for about three quarters of a second I found this post extremely disconcerting.

Never saw it, canā€™t pass on a recommendation on anything I havenā€™t seen, but itā€™s very highly regarded as I understand it. And not just by your average TV critic but people whose opinions I trust.

ā€œFamily Fracasā€ is definitely one of them. I dunno if I had another one in mind or maybe I just wanted to cover my bases. ā€œChristmas in the Carā€ maybe.

looooool

how about a Rat Capper, guy who goes around hunting rats with a snub-nosed revolver
