If you are terminally on Twitter or TikTok, you have probably seen the big-eyed, wide-mouthed, wife adorer and pop star TJ Mack*, most famous for his song “Sitting.” Or maybe you have enjoyed following the life of Internshit Guy.
The creator of those characters, Brian Jordan Alvarez, also created and stars in a new sitcom on FX (and Hulu) called English Teacher. First two episodes were this week. It’s good! It’s funny! Watch it!
*My daughter got me a TJ Mack mug for Hanukkah and I have his picture as the desktop background on my gaming PC.
George’s girlfriend really shows too sharp of an eye in noticing that Elaine cited George as the buyer of the big salad. Makes me think George was onto something.
I enjoyed the David Chase / Sopranos doc on HBO. At first I was like “oh God is this whole thing going to be David Chase talking?” but it wasn’t. I would have taken about 20 more episodes, but I’m glad we got the two.
Undercover which is a Dutch(I think) cops and organized crime show is fucking great imo. Another foreign show that rocks that I have never heard of. 3 seasons of the main show and then a 2 season prequel so lots to watch for the binge watcher.
Just finished bingeing Winning Time. Even for a Lakers fan like me, it was kind of slow, but I was in an airplane with limited options, I powered through.
Felt like a show about the Lakers for the haters. Kind of a downer that they ended with '84 finals instead of '85. Also reliving that was not fun.
Best part was the casting, imo. They really nailed that.
