Season one was good. But it went off the rails after that.

grunting noises

spits, snorts something, sets something on fire

One time mine was 10 minutes behind

I like her in hindsight. Pulaski seemed more real and relaxed, Crusher was a bit of a prude almost for a while.

Diane Muldaur didnt want to return for season 3 anyway, she wasn't up for a long running series a main character. The series did have quite a hard shooting schedule.

The end of First Love still kills me 😂

That'll be $500,000.

Mr. Robot is great, just be warned it's not happy in the slightest, as in "we'll give you a puppy dog, shoot it in front of you, and then immediately move on like it never happened to rob you of the grieving process," type not happy. Not to mention all characters are fundamentally lonely and/or desperate to their core which doesn't make things any better. As a work of art and as a story the show is amazing, but just make sure you're in a good space before watching it.

I made the mistake of watching it right when the pandemic started. I was like "Wow, the school I work is closed down, now I have time to catch up on all the shows I've been wanting to watch," and it really didn't do much good for my emotional state during that time.

He popped up every once in a while. honestly it wasn't a bad choice

Best character ever

It pulls you in harder than just about any show I've watched. It keeps you on the edge of your seat for almost the entire series, kind of like breaking bad but much more engaging and fast paced. And it doesn't even have a massive buildup, it hooks you from the first scene and will keep you guessing the whole time.

Succession actually changes a decent amount over the first season, as they hone in on a show about the adult children vying for a kiss from daddy. Some of it is just downplayed until eventually written out, like the old media vs new media angle of Kendall going all-in on a blog.

But they also eliminate like half of the family, with varying levels of abruptness. Greg's mom, played by Reno 911's Mary Birdsong, disappears after the pilot. Roman's first girlfriend was originally credited in the pilot as his wife, and there was a daughter never seen again; they break up a few eps later. I think Connor's also implied to be married? Marcia's son gets a promotion to Europe in a dramatic reveal, then is never heard from again. Kendall's kids become only talked about, and then essentially forgotten. (Interestingly, most of these result in the generation of the Roy family younger than the main characters basically being eliminated.)

Edit: Also, they bring it back for the 'cat under the chair' episode, but it does feel like the show became uninterested in Logan's dementia after season 1, as the story demanded the character be more consistently cunning and ruthless.

Chapelle like many people who talk about cancel culture alot have not in fact ever been canceled. a portion of the population got offended, which happens all the time, it used to be religious groups.

now they use, im getting cancelled, line as form of advertising. its a way to draw in some of their fanbase. its very tried and true tactic.

and it works.

It was weird, but I miss the positivity from those times. I got to take a break from cynicism for like 2 years, and not alone, but with a bunch of other weirdos.

Keep dreaming’ kiddo. If you buy stock, you give them clout, you keep their brand alive, you justify their shit. And you’ll never get 50+% of a company like that, they are too important to the people spreading lies that keep the poor battling each other instead of coming for their heads.

I hated her characters end

I never understood the freak out over Lori Loughlin’s whole college admission thing. Like duh this is how college works and has for centuries. She just forgot to donate a new library first.

Nepotism runs the world and always has.

Yeah guess we can’t all be high brow viewers of South Park and Always Sunny like the rest of Reddit. Haha they’re all terrible people!!

That's actually a common misconception. It was mainly because of toy sales, with the higher-ups being disappointed with the toy sales and deciding to can it based on that. What's ironic is I think if they made stuff like Funkos based on the show versions of characters, they'd probably sell decently.

Same people who cry about Roseanne jerk off about Chapelle. One of them did a lot for oppressed people and was a champion for LGBT people, the other makes gay and trans jokes. Weird that the one is so beloved while the other reviled.

i htink they are all bad, cw.tv, hulu as well.

The connors isn’t nearly as good as Roseanne was. It’s completely lost what made her show good and just went super leftist to distance itself from her

> 'a lack of chemistry'

That's so funny. Nobody on that show has any chemistry with anyone else. Everyone is their own different flavour of slightly unhinged, acting past each other as they deliver their lines, epitomised by Caruso as lead. It's borderline avant garde.

And progressive zoomers who ignore everything she did for the LGBT community and other oppressed people in the 90s because she tweeted some dumb shit decades later.

She did lose her entire career. A career absolutely filled with controversy.
