Two parts will probably be about Pauly Shore.

It’s pretty good. Surprisingly, not a lot of Pauly Shore.

The Comedy Store series aired previously and it's great.

Katt Williams is a garbage human being, as you would expect. Informative to learn how much the comedy scene was influenced by the arbitrary feelings of bookers like Mitzi Shore. Really, it's analogous to professional wrestling.

Otherwise it's fun to re-live the scene from the comedians' recollection.

The new documentary series on Bill Cosby is interesting so far.

It’s an interesting angle they are taking, at least with the first episode with the background and his accomplishments. Almost like a “he may be a serial rapist, but look at the good he did, too”.

After watching episode 1, I think he did it.

Does it have Adam Eget in it? It's hilarious to me that Adam is capable of decision-making based on how he was on Norm Macdonald Live :d

You don't jack off punks under the Queensborough Bridge, 15 dollars a man, without developing a keen determined business sense.

He is, and yes it's weird to see him as an administrator after being Norm's sidekick.

Anyone still watching Raised by Wolves? They totally went off the rails with the end of season 1, but season 2 is pretty great so far. Much more in keeping with classic sci-fi. Really great visuals too.

Well...I wouldnt say they're back 'on the rails' per se.

'Off the rails' is pretty much this show's M.O. I mean...

Spoiler!


That being said, I'm enjoying all of it. It was supposed to be really unconventional and its delivering on that.

Finished Station Eleven yesterday.

Some massive changes from the book and I think I liked it the TV version better for the most part. The first few episodes were quite meandering but I was hooked by the end. Jeevan's storyline was the most interesting for me.

The Jeevan arc seemed very familiar, I liked it and felt it was compelling to watch, but it’s hard not to compare with “The Road”, which has become almost a trope.

I never read the book, but I stated it somewhere else on here, Station 11 was a fantastic mini-series, one of the best I've seen in years.

I can see that, but Jeevan was so reluctant, that's why I liked his arc and would say that's how it differentiated from The Road.

Overall the scenes in the airport and the high rise (man I loved that apartment) were the most compelling for me. And the maternity ward.

The maternity ward scene was incredible. You couldn't quite figure out what the leader's purpose and intention was with the clinic/base. Really well done.

That was where I really started thinking..."hmm...a lot of people compared this show to The Walking Dead...is that where this is going?"
