Yeah that is a little crushing. I’d watch her in anything and she was great in that show.

Only Murders in the Building was really good. Watched each episode as it aired, but I might binge a rewatch soon.

Also for anyone who liked Newsroom and Ted Lasso, check out Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip or SportsNight (or both!).

I'm two episodes in, and think it's fantastic so far. And I say that as someone who generally has a pretty low tolerance for Martin Short.

Just gonna leave this here. Video quality is rough, but it's an older show. One of my favourite scenes in all of television!




Edit: aaaaaannnnd this one was pretty good too:



I hope this doesn't morph into me spending all day on youtube again...

How can I watch this?

I heard it’s on Disney+ but I can’t find it. (Yes, I have my parental locks wide open)

It's on Disney+ and should show up with a search.

It's a Hulu show in the States, so I think it's under the Star header on Disney+, but a search for "only murders" should bring it up.

Found it. I had my rating set to R which I assumed was the highest/least restricted. Turns out, TV-MA is actually the highest level and what you need to reveal Only Murders.

For some reason, I don't have the option to set my rating level to above TV-14 - and I can't play Only Murders in the Building; it says my parental level is too low. I've tried everything.

The day you're consigned to relying on child-proof medication bottles to live will be a grim day indeed.

So, at what point do we start talking about Succession as one of the greats?

This is the present day Deadwood.

This show is a masterpiece. Every episode I think "This was the best", and then the next one tops it.

Yeah, it's odd that viewership is so low. Likely the best show on TV right now, and one of the best HBO shows ever. Every episode has been great.

Really looking forward to see how this season resolves, if it all.

Where are you seeing viewership as low? I think it is one of the top current HBO shows, if not the top. https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...eason-n1282419

Year after year, HBO really is in a league of their own for adult oriented TV drama. A couple AMC shows are all that ever really come close to end to end quality.

I mean that if you compare viewing figures to the likes of the Sopranos, GoT, Sex and the City, or TD, it's pretty low. It's barely doing Veep numbers despite being as good as all those if not better.

Yeah, I looked into starting it but I'm so far behind now I cant really start it up.

This happens to me with series sometimes. Like 'The Expanse.'

I have watched the first half of the first episode something like a half-dozen times, I just cant seem to get into it.

So now I wait until its over and then I'll try again.

Same with Dexter. I tried to get into Dexter and I was about to and then they started releasing a new season.

I was about to start but then they started making more!! Sneaky, sneaky Dexter! You almost got me!

That first episode is a masterpiece in itself.

Just taking a quick perusal at ratings and it looks like Yellowstone has double the viewership as succession. I know yellowstone has some fans on here but that show is peak trash drama
