I started The Witcher. These things are always so weird that they shoehorn female nudity in like everyone is so hetero male gaze-y even in fantasyland.

The John Mulaney Sack Lunch Bunch is so good. And Gyllenhaal !lert! for certain people.

Season 2 of "You": this show is still bonkers and amazing. Joe is the dumbest serial killer on TV.

Sack Lunch Bunch is sooo weird, and aimed at ... I have no idea. But Jake deserves an Emmy.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 28 December 2019 13:21 (four years ago) link
It's like, a kids show for people who don't have kids? Mulaney doesn't have kids?
I started watching the second season of You yesterday while rowing and I rowed 10k without even realizing it. It's just filled with great, bad decisions everywhere.
― Yerac, Saturday, 28 December 2019 13:43 (four years ago) link
I loved Sack Lunch Bunch, and also have no idea it's for. But I'm about Mulaney's age and have no kids, and found it weird and charming, so maybe me?
― Nhex, Saturday, 28 December 2019 15:03 (four years ago) link
yeah, same. I don't have kids (slightly older than mulaney) and I thought it was great. I loved the chess and the NYC segments.

Trying “You” again but it makes my skin crawl like a Larry Clark movie.

I should put in here that I am very, very terribly late in discovering Schitt's Creek. I didn't know what to expect but such terrible people made so lovable. Everyone is so good in it. I just finished season 4. It has been our thing to watch over breakfast.

“Nailed It” with Jacques Torres is probably some of the funniest TV we’ve seen all year

Trying “You” again but it makes my skin crawl like a Larry Clark movie. I totally get why people would be skeeved out by "You" and don't blame anyone for not watching it - Joe's behaviour is very stalker-y and gross, and his narration doesn't allow you to escape from being inside his head.
The appeal for me is the way it sends up toxic rom com and "Nice Guy" tropes, the mentality of men who refuse to see women as real people instead of living fantasy dolls. Season 2 goes a little further - exploring what happens when law enforcement/society fails victims of sexual violence, the links between trauma and (self)abusive behaviour, and deconstructing the idea of the perfect girl.
it's a deeply feminist show as seen through the eyes of a male serial killer of women, with all the implausible wtf plot twists and ridiculous dialogue of a Lifetime melodrama. it's gross yeah, but also totally insane and smart and great and Badgley is perfectly cast.
it's also incredibly funny - i enjoyed "the seven totems of LA" bit from this season. and the LSD episode.

The Two Popes is excellent
― Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Tuesday, 31 December 2019 13:56 (four years ago) link
It's almost fascinating in a way how boring The Circle is - like there's no way a show where people sit by themselves and just text each other for an hour this would pass muster at one of the big four networks so this show is basically a result of Netflix's "green light everything, cancel after" strategy

OMG Six Underground is ludicrous trash but the action set pieces (of which there are a TON) are amazing. Pure Michael Bay distillate.

high concept garbage plot, of course

xp most definitely! the thing that kills me is movies where Reynolds is supposed to be funny and it’s all based on his vocal inflections, facial tics, and ad libs. he’s not actually funny. I think Six Underground doesn’t try for a funny Reynolds but merely a somewhat charismatic one, and it’s ok

this is where I admit I’ve never seen a full episode of Dr. Who but have tried multiple times, because it just never works for meThis Dracula adaptation is at least horny. Unfortunately , Dracula himself is the least interesting (other than the treat of predation). is that the thing I missed with Who?
