Episode 6 of the Undoing was one of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen. One of the worst finales I’ve ever seen for sure. The first 5 were fantastic. 6 was so hilariously bad I was laughing. Besides Kidman’s horrendous performance, it was a damn good show up to that point.

Carnival Row, season 2 had finally been released. Delayed since pre covid.
Based in a Victorian fantasy world, Orlando Bloom, plays the lead.

Didn’t S1 come out during covid? I thought S2 was delayed because the main actress was in rehab.

The latest episode of shrinking has one of the funniest scenes I’ve seen on TV in a long time.

It was just before Covid. Like September 2019.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but some clips of a show called Mr. Inbetween was served to me on YouTube so I went to check it out.

It's great and I don't say that lightly. I binged the F out of it.

It's difficult to describe but the best I can do is: An Australian dark comedy about a hitman that feels like The Sopranos with a much smaller world, more empathetic protagonist, and told in 22 minute episodes.

You can find it on Disney+ (sadly only 2 of the 3 seasons), but there are no real hard cliffhangers. It has extremely good story editing, terrific acting, and simply hilarious.




Don't believe me? Here's a random video of Hugh Jackman talking about it (no, he's not a producer or anything on it):

Go watch him on Celebrity Jeopardy and you will NEVER have that view ever again. Grade A Dbag.

I found a lot of the comedians that emerged during the Trump period have either disappeared completely or just couldn’t find a new thing in the post-Trump world.

It's amazing how much they cover in such short episodes/seasons yet still allow the story to breathe. Such smart storytelling.

We had some Chernobyl talk in the The Last of Us thread and it motivated to watch me again... so frigging good. A tough watch, in a good way, but it's easily one of the top mini series of all time. So incredibly well done.

Been watching all the "Long Ways" with Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman. Caught a handful of episodes of Long Way Round (2004) years ago, right around when they were in Alberta mostly. Found it on Apple TV+. Didn't know they did another ride in 2007 (Long Way Down), and a third in 2019 (Long Way Up). I'm about 1/2 Way through Long Way Up. I think their 2007 trip might be my favorite series, through some of the African countries.

I mentioned this when I stumbled upon it over the summer but your post is waaay better than mine.

The biggest thing about this show is how in veers into your standard trope-like plots where you're conditioned to expect a certain outcome. But it somehow also doesn't go into subversion-for-subversions-sake storytelling.

I don't know how they managed to pull it off with such limited screentime.
