Wtf
which series are you talking about?
Adolescence
Re Adolescence:
Agree with you. Good mystery of the week story shot in a special way.
Yeah that part should be spoilered. The first episode was a better not knowing if the cops made a mistake or if the kid was set up or if it was an accident or something. Iâm sure it was an entirely different experience knowing that actually the kid sucks and it was straight murder.

People are so conditioned to the typical courtroom drama format that on Reddit you still see posts asking if he really did it.

Nice to see Saxon still in character for the press tour
I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth V. Michelle Carter
8/10
A well done documentary. This review is how I would summarize it
Carr, whose breakout film, Mommy Dead and Dearest , dealt with the now-infamous Blanchard family case of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, is swimming in familiar enough waters, and can be credited with treating Carterâs story as well as Royâs with equanimity. She doesnât advocate for Carterâs exoneration or her conviction, but does build out a story that will convince you Carterâs strange and (at times) seemingly indefensible acts might just spawn from a cocktail of social exclusion, psychiatric meds, and identity in the era of celebrity and the social web."
Having the prosecution section first makes you absolutely hate her and 100% agree with the prosecution, and then the defense segment definitely complicates it. I have to say the defense argument about âmedical intoxicationâ, that she somehow got too high on anti depression meds and so when âpsychoâ for a few days to explain her change in behavior seemed silly, but thatâs one part of the defense segment. The other parts donât exonerate her but definitely paints a more complex picture than a girl who cruelly bullied her boyfriend into killing himself just for the clout.
I wouldnât change the verdict though.
Watched the first episode of The Studio. Looks like Apple has another good one in its hands.
Watched the 1st and 2nd. The Scorsese bit was funny, but I donât get most of the Hollywood comedy, so It will go in the queue and Iâll never watch it.
it just looks waaaaay too navel-gaze-y for me

I watched the first ep of The Studio and thought it was fine. I heard the second is better. I prefer Seth Rogen in small doses so weâll see how that goes, but I think he annoys me IRL more than he does as an actor.
I wonder if they tried to get Tim Robbins for the Cranston role (that character is named Griffin Mill, which was Robbinsâ character in GOAT Hollywood movie The Player).
Could be. I will usually give anything with a RT rating over 90% a chance, thatâs usually a good determinant of the show being at least enjoyable.
I like The Studio so far; loved that Ep2 was a one-shot episode about shooting a one-shot scene.

I rarely get emotional watching anything. E12 of The Pitt had me choking back sobs. Repeatedly.
Mass shooting event. It wasnât just the victims, but the impact of everyone working. There was one very brief shot where they show a janitor in the hallway mopping up blood. Just a few seconds, nothing to hit the viewer over the head. Just the horror of the person seeing that and doing that, and knowing that more blood was on itâs way shortly. After the episode, my wife mentioned the very same thing - seeing that janitor mop up and how that must affect them.
I have no idea how realistic the episode was or wasnât, but I havenât been affected by fiction like that in a really, really long time.
Or maybe Iâm getting soft - post immunity challenge this week in Survivor had me and my kid in tears.
