Fleishman is In Trouble is such a weird show. For a minute you think it’s gonna be like Seinfeld meets Gone Girl but then it turns into something … Else? Still have two episodes left I assume it will only get weirder. I do kind of like it though. No spoilers
It does feel like millennials are really entering our Divorce era though (not me, still 100% That Wife Guy)
new title drop???
i think part of what i’m getting out of this show is it feels like the first thing i’ve watched in forever that is like, actually intended for people my age. i mean it’s not like i’m so old that normal pop culture stuff feels totally ‘off limits’ to me now, but i have a really hard time imagining anyone born after, like, the 90s really getting anything out of this show? hell who knows anything is possible. it just reminds me of the shit my parents used to watch when i was a kid that was “for grownups” not for any explicit content but just because it was boring as fuck for anyone without a mortgage (etc). but i think a lot of that normal prestige drama stuff these days just really doesn’t appeal to me at all, idk what it is about this show that is keeping me interested. i guess i appreciate that it doesn’t seem to have any kind of heavy artistic ambitions to be challenging or experimental or anything, but it also isn’t just like lowest common denominator pandering. not smart too smart, not too stupid… television for boring adults…
it kept lizzy caplan out of the party down reboot though 
Oh that’s why?? That sucks. I can see why she wanted to do it though it’s a great character
i found glass onion pleasant but poker face is a much better use of rian johnson’s talents. the smaller scope and limited characters of the 1970s nbc movie mystery format working like a stage play is perfect. (i mean also useful is that he is not writing/directing most of them) natasha lyonne at several points is just doing a peter falk impression which is fine because the show is literally what if girl columbo was on the run and couldn’t arrest people. this is such television ass television it feels like a waste to not actually broadcast it on the network instead of on peacock.
I don’t know which thread this belongs in. (None of them?)
all of them
i like how often she uses the microwave
The friend who showed me that watched it for four hours straight. I can see things like it becoming more and more captivating.
Kind of like how “reality” TV is for some people. I’ve never watched a single episode of any reality TV show but I could see myself getting sucked into something along these lines (though not this one specifically) the way I watched a bunch of those bizarre, controversial, partially AI-generated YouTube videos for kids a few years ago.
This is sick but it’s like t-minus 5 minutes until the long Twitter threads about why this actually sucks and isn’t actually interesting come out.
I implore you, please do not give that website anymore of your time…
aw hell yeah
I watched season 1 of That 90s Show.
I liked it.
It’s a good follow-up to That 70s Show.
It strikes the right balance of new characters to returning characters.
I hope it gets picked up for more seasons. I’d like more of this show.
Letterkenny continues to be a show that is a hole in the wall shaped just for me
it got kind of tedious after about 6 seasons but I liked it for a good little while
I just started season 5 so I might hit the same wall, but so far it really feels like it gets me. A lot of the hockey locker room scenes are painfully boring (unless Shoresy is there I find him consistently amusing). I like Riley and Jonesy much more when they’re bouncing off the rest of the cast.
I’m here with good news for everyone, not only is the chris pratt navy seal show getting a 2nd season, taylor kitsch’s character is getting his own prequel spinoff
Fuck I knew I shouldn’t have watched this, I know my view put it over the edge to get this shit greenlit. Feeling extremely guilty rn
So I’ve been making my way through Steven Universe & Future as my 3x a week leg exercises take me about a half hour which is ideal for a half hour (or in this case 15 minute x2) tv show, but that is down to the last 8 or so episodes and I got no clue what to watch next. If anyone wishes to recommend a half hour shows/cartoons (or 15 minute) that happens to be on HBO Max (or theoretically Peacock) I would be very interested to here them.
Adventure Time feels like the “if you watched SU go here next” rec according the the HBO Max algorithm but that seems like it might be too “for children” where SU was not.
Adventure Time is more of a pure comedy cartoon with occasional pathos than steven universe’s bildungsroman with some comedy format.
Is Over the Garden Wall on hbo max? That is probably the best of that generation of cartoons (though my favorite was Gravity Falls)
