Fleabag (2016) is an awesome show, highly recommend. Just about finished season 2. Laugh out loud funny and really smart writing.

Man! Thanks for this. I've a few episodes in, and hooked.

There’s quite a few of these shows now where the season 1 story plays itself out, it’s enjoyable, but that kind of should be it

Yes, I'm quoting a 6 year old post. But, we are really enjoying this show. I think it's gained relevancy since it first aired.

It's only become more prescient with the passage of time, for sure. Makes you wish we had that kind of AI looking out for us, instead of these Copilot bots in Excel that can't do math.

The music industry is even more fragmented. Soon, none of us will have a common experience of artists to talk about.
What is happening?

I agree with you on shows, but aren't pretty much all artists available on different streaming platforms for music?
I haven't really noticed any need to get different platforms for different music.

It's a different kind of fragmentation. There's never been more good music being released, but there isn't that ubiquitous inescapable radio hit jammed down your throat by the same AM/FM stations playing the same top 40 songs over and over and over again for months on end. People can search out and find the greatest electronica Argentina album ever made, and they can probably find the album on Spotify or Apple Music or Youtube Music. But they won't be able to find the six other people in Canada who have listened to it.

So I just finished the season, and while I still stand behind the above statement The Studio deserves all the recognition it's getting. Those last two episodes were brilliant, I haven't laughed that hard at a show in years. So many amazing lines ("I knew he had a big dick..."), incredible guest performances by Dave Franco and Zoe Kravitz, and just give the Emmy to Bryan Cranston now because no one else comes close. The whole season was a fun ride, but that finale takes it into all-time status for me

There is just so much music available now, we will all be listening to different things. Before we only heard music released by major labels. Top 40 was familiar to all of us. Not now.
