does anyone else worry w/that IV drip of painkillers? like the way he refused it at first...i wonder if he has a history?
I think it was more that he figured he'd just vape up discreetly, but that ended up actually ramping up his anxiety. Peeling up the bandage to take a peek sure didn't help.

tbh opioids freak me out, the addictive potential is scray
― marcos, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 19:47 (six years ago) link
*scary
I think the potential's there, it's mostly chronic pain management where you get in trouble
I've been prescribed them three times (wisdom tooth removal, abscess surgery, broken wrist) and never felt the need to continue after my prescription ran out because the pain was gone or manageable. the first two were vicodin and the last was percocet, though, and wow there's a difference. hospital would probably just be a morphine drip

appreciated how he was goofy as heck on the combination, it was well-acted

Beruch episode might be my all time fave
― kolakube (Ross), Friday, 23 February 2018 20:29 (six years ago) link
yea agreed it's one of the best ones

nice use of weyes blood in the last one (w drugdealer)

i think this season is better than all the others
― marcos, Tuesday, 27 February 2018 15:06 (six years ago) link
lol i've been watching this on showtime since it started and had no idea it was a web series before, totally missed this thread for 4 years .

this last episode was greati had some unfortunately shrooms experiences in college, one involved being at the mall while my roommate and her friend from high school went shopping at the gapanyway it captured some of the terror of being on shrooms in the wrong environment

i liked when he said "you get to see inside the apartments, that's the best part" bc i think i would agree, w/ this show in general i like the very real glimpses into other folks' lives & spaces
― marcos, Tuesday, 27 February 2018 18:29 (six years ago) link
i grinned so big at that line and his delivery of it
― gr8080, Tuesday, 27 February 2018 18:36 (six years ago) link
if we stuck with his stand-in the show would be... stoners in cars buying weed

also lol @ "janky clown" setup

That was great, also I was losing it at the fountain scene & the end slo-mo dancing it front of it.

Also appreciated the nod to their audience being mostly people with their parents' HBO Go passwords. Like me. My mother-in-law recently cancelled her cable but HBO Go is still mysteriously working, although I assume it will stop any day now.
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 18:17 (six years ago) link
for some reason I didn't even register the irony at the time, even though I was watching the episode on HBO Go!
― mh, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 19:04 (six years ago) link
My favourite show on television, hard to find something else which feels so relevant atm
― kolakube (Ross), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 21:37 (six years ago) link
I like how organic things seem. A lot of shows trying to catch the same vibe try too hard to cram in references to lifestyle trends or add drama and HM just seems like ~lyfe~
― mh, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 21:51 (six years ago) link
absolutely, mh.
wtf was with his ex stealing his pens and being a general fiend? made me wonder if pot co-dependency was a crutch in their relationship

Last episode was golden. Definite tear recipe

when the last EP started it felt like a black mirror redux
― tinnitus the night (Ross), Saturday, 17 March 2018 16:11 (six years ago) link
this season was really good, i think it maybe fell off slightly after some of the peaks mid-season but all in all i thought it was way better than the vimeo subscriptions series and the first hbo season
― marcos, Tuesday, 27 March 2018 18:36 (six years ago) link
captured that open-ended relaxed festiveness of eclipse day 2017 really well
did I miss where beth had ghosted on him? things were all askew for me since I watched season 1, then almost all of season 2, then the web series, then the last two episodes of season 2, so i got some things totally out of order.
― akm, Tuesday, 27 March 2018 18:43 (six years ago) link
Is Beth the dudes ex? They split in season 1 finale iirc
― tinnitus the night (Ross), Tuesday, 27 March 2018 19:35 (six years ago) link
yeah I guess I just forgot...the last one I clearly remember is when she walked the dog
― akm, Tuesday, 27 March 2018 22:03 (six years ago) link
I was not down with the internet addiction guy's apartment burning down as the punchline, wtf.
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 28 March 2018 20:03 (six years ago) link
Also was expecting the Guy to freak out about being on camera when meeting the crazy dance marathon lady.
as someone who recently planned a lakeside marriage proposal that didn’t quite go exactly as i’d expected and yet still had a happy ending, i very much appreciated the finale
― gr8080, Wednesday, 28 March 2018 21:53 (six years ago) link
one of the things that's nice about this show is that ultimately, pretty much everyone on the show is good. or trying to do good. at least...nothing has a dark underbelly. i appreciate that, it's refreshing in prestige TV.
― akm, Wednesday, 28 March 2018 23:46 (six years ago) link
^ absolutely. Everyone is keeping on
― tinnitus the night (Ross), Thursday, 29 March 2018 00:05 (six years ago) link
I always liked works of fiction where there's no real bad guy and everyone's just doing their best but bad shit still happens because of misunderstandings etc. because I thought it was more "realistic"--it wasn't until relatively recently that I discovered that real, cartoonishly villainous bad guys are actually everywhere in real life
― Dan I., Thursday, 29 March 2018 02:05 (six years ago) link
(sorry, kind of apropos of nothing, need to catch up on this show, haven't tuned in since the web series)
― Dan I., Thursday, 29 March 2018 02:07 (six years ago) link
Last episode was great
I find this show very touching, I think in part due to its contast to so prestige TV
Like, I wish all these characters the best and I hope it all works out for them
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 1 April 2018 13:49 (six years ago) link
This season was full of touching moments you don't get with other TV shows. The scene with The Guy and the elderly man suffering from dementia who couldn't find his key was heartbreaking.
― well bissogled trotters (Michael B), Sunday, 1 April 2018 14:44 (six years ago) link
The scene where the doctor saves the dude choking on the tuna brought me to tears. Show is refreshingly non jaded and often life affirming
― Eris (Ross), Sunday, 1 April 2018 16:05 (six years ago) link
even when someone's a jerk, the plot never really dwells on it. some people are jerks, who cares!

this show is underrated

Jen Harris! Catherine Cohen! They're spotlighting a whole buncha downtown weirdo artists that I love!Show has been very good so far.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 20 February 2019 18:28 (five years ago) link
i've only watched a few episodes this season, mostly good! the film set one (which i didn't finish yet) seems a little insular and annoying, too many "busy people talking busily while walking" scenes but maybe it gets better by the end
