Is that one on Hulu? I remember seeing it somewhere and thought I should check it out.

Finally broke down and got HBO. Been watching Silicon Valley.

It's hilarious on the one hand but on the other, it's both scary and sad how closely it follows the actual tech industry. Too many times I've laughed at a joke that I only understand because I've lived it.

Yes.

Don’t go in expecting or rooting for anything. Just take it in.

Big shout out to Lew and Buehler! Just finished the first season of Peaky Blinders, it’s damn good. We’re definitely hooked, thanks fellas.

I rewatched Queen's Gambit because the Anya Taylor-Joy conversation stirred my interest.

I forgot how damn good that show is.

I had only watched it the first time through. It's worth a re-watch because there is a shitton of nuance and depth that I blew by because I was trying to figure out where the story was going. The performances were ****ing excellent. Even if they were filled with pain and trauma. I really really enjoyed the show. Even if it isn't the happiest story.

Most of the story points aren't my bag. Women, orphans, chess, the 60s, drugs, abuse, meh nothing gets me jumping up and down. But they created compelling characters and told a compelling story. And it was awesome.

Just goddamned compelling television.

Saw Stallone's "The Samaritan" on Amazon Prime and it was badass.

Yeah dude. She’s hot as the surface of the sun.

So, I’ve binged Barry over the past few weeks. Wrapped up last night.

Loved the whole thing, because I thought early on “Oh, this is Barry’s version of the song Hook.”

I think the plan the whole way was to draw people in and then make subtle jabs at the anti-hero thing.

Stephen Root is pretty underrated. Fiches, man, what a character.

There were some tough moments for me (seeing how John was raised brought up some traumatic memories), but all in all a really fun ride.

They weren't really that subtle...

And again, maybe I'm just jaded by listening to Hader talk about the character, but the feeling I got was the first season was the tone the initially wanted, then the audience reaction to Barry was so strong that Hader recoiled from it. He seemed to think that it would be easier to turn audiences on Barry (I think the Chris Incident was where he expected everything to fall into place) and when it didn't work out that way, he just kept getting darker and darker. He was just rolling up bigger newspapers every week to whack the viewer on the nose with.

I kinda wish I could 'unhear' Hader's take on the characters because in the end, it made every decision he made about as subtle as a sledgehammer for me.

I didn't even watch any Barry commentary from Hader, and it was painfully obvious Hader grew to loathe his creation and America's preoccupation with violence. The first 2 seasons were dark comedy genius, the 3rd season was a fart in the wind, and while I enjoyed the 4th season for its well executed episodes,he really sucked the fun out of the room whenever Barry was on screen. I suppose "The Message" was more personally important than delivering on the premise of "hitman joins theater group and wacky hijinks ensue".

I think you should leave is the best show on Netflix. I think I’ve watched the new season about 200 times already.
