The Curse would not fall into cringe category for me. Its a tragedy through and through with some humorous moments.
Much closer for me to Uncut Gems than Nathan for You or The Rehearsal.

We have been binging the shit out of it, Iād definitely recommend it, especially if you played werewolf on 2p2. Iāve been explaining shit to the old lady in ww terms and harshly criticizing the god awful play to her. Itās hilarious how bad these people are at the game. I supposed itās because they did zero research and so donāt have a clue what theyāre doing, but itās really funny at times. pog would have crushed these fools bad
Iāve enjoyed every version of Traitors. The British version goes HAAM. The contestants pull no punches. The American version is great but kinda watered down for commentary. Agreed that itās a scream if you ever loved WW or Mafia.

I think this was discussed before, but the Emmys having Succession nominated as a drama and The Bear as a comedy is exactly backward.

Iāve laughed harder at moments in the curse than anything else in quite a long time.
Absolutely, Fielder is writing and is still a comedian at heart, but I would never label this show a comedy, or even a black comedy. Tragedy and drama are often made better by the humor within them. Godzilla Minus One is an exploration of the tragedy and fear of an entire nation, and there are still parts I laughed loudly at, but it isnāt a comedy. This show is the same way.
Or for a more apt comparison, Uncut Gems had a few really funny moments. Not a comedy.

Are we drawing a meaningful distinction between cringe-inducing and anxiety-inducing? Because ānot really cringe; more like Uncut Gemsā doesnāt really compute for me. Uncut Gems is good, but it sure gave me significant discomfort many times.
If watching a TV show gives you anxiety, just imagine all the characters in their underwear.

Yeah. Its also pretty much the only show ever that Iāve had to turn off halfway through and come back to it later.

Did anyone catch the jodie foster true detective premiere yet, thoughts? Reddit not really having it lol which I wasnāt expecting. Poor nathās brother.
I donāt even think heās involved anymore? Anyway, I watched it. Iām intrigued and looking forward to more. Solid cast, new creepy isolated setting. Iām in
Yeah itās great setup so far, I donāt know how you could dislike it unless youāre just not a True Detective fan in general. Jodi Foster seems perfect for the part.

Heās not. The tone and style is different. Jodi Foster is great. Iām not sold on it yet.
I just watched the first season. Binged it over a couple of days. I really enjoyed it.
Are the other country versions available somewhere?

Fans of Traitors who want a movie should watch Circle. Neat ending too.
