I look forward to having not watched this.

I'm glad they're getting fined for this, it's a stupid thing to do. I also hate when commercials play sirens or phone noises while I'm in the car.

Can you tell more details on Glover's and Brie's ago? Did they have any stories?

Great show; the cinematography is second to none. I am debating a rewatch.

Worth noting that Community notoriously had a much more demanding and late-hour shoots than even normal tv shows which are already demanding. Chevy Chase was in his 60s, and unused to such an environment. I get him wanting to go home "early".

You'll get those.
>What I don’t like is a ton of Flashbacks and OTT visuals, etc.
It has some flashbacks, but they're not a large focus from what I recall.
As for over the top visuals, any examples of what you would consider as such?

I don't think I have enough knowledge about philosophy to have something to offer.

I think it was an amazing show.
However, while the show grabs your attention with its initial vigilante hacker plot, the story is fundamentally about the MC making peace with his mental trauma (which is incidentally why people tend to find season 2-3 weaker, since the vigilante hacker stuff takes a bit of a backseat), so if you enjoy great character development, an unreliable narrator (due to mental trauma) that makes you question what's real and what isn't, shrouded with a gripping vigilante hacker story line, then I do recommend this show.
Also, I'm a big fan of all the shows you mentioned (happy to see Le Bureau des Légendes get some love), and also a big fan of this one, so take that as you will.
I think the struggle with a lot of people is that while the show starts off as a vigilante hacker story, it starts to focus more on the psychology of the main character, which some people enjoyed less.
The final season is fantastic and the show has probably one of the most satisfying endings I've ever seen.

Bluey. Although I think the brilliance of this show is that it was actually made for adults the whole time.

I've tried three times to get into it, I watch the first few episodes and tap out. The main character is just so unrelatable, unlikable, and uninteresting to me.... and I like Rami Malek. FTR I loved Severance too.

Started watching it. Guessed a big reveal about 2 episodes in. Checked to confirm if I was right and I was so I called it there.

If risk of executives or board members doing any jail or prison time for things was actually on the table, we could fix so many things.

Don't know, but I watch the shit out of Seinfeld on Netflix.

Apparently its going to be 30 episodes long for the first book, so it might be better to wait for the Netflix series if that's going too slow.
I enjoyed the countdown photos episode, it helped demonstrate Miao's methodical approach to studying an absolutely bizarre and seemingly inexplicable thing. Only thing that was odd is that his wife went along with it a little too readily.
Regarding the ads, on Youtube I just get a 15 second ad burst at the start and halfway through each episode.. Still more than Netflix, but way less than typical cable TV. I also don't speak Chinese, so all it does is make me curious what Santi(Santee?) is.

I don't think it's necessarily a good thing for all questions to be answered. It's best that some questions be left unanswered. See The Leftovers.

Point, though is r/television really the demographic who cares about sports?
