This is my annoyance with the show. Reactions in triplicate. I get that reaction videos are a thing in society now but it almost stopped me watching it. This aside, I have been enjoying it more as it has progressed and I feel like they have chilled out on the repeated Waaaaaaaahhh!s to some extent.

Surprised they don’t think Shrinking will be nominated for Best Comedy? And that Abbott Elementary will basically sweep all its categories when competing against Ted Lasso, Barry, and the final season of Maisel?

I also think its strange that The White Lotus will be in drama and not comedy. Its tone is very much like Barry which competes in comedy.

I'm thoroughly hooked and I don't mind the pacing. It gives me a little extra time to enjoy it. Been recommending it to everyone I know. My brother is Korean bilingual (which is pretty dang amusing given he's a White American tech bro) and he loves the banter among the athletes.

I saw the title of this post and laughed out loud. My parents just arrived in town today. I'm with my mom in my kitchen and I'm like "where's dad?" I go to check out what he's watching and I'm watching just a room full of Koreans dangling from these bars, holding on for dear life so they don't drop into the water. I walk by later and some farmer is getting choked the eff out while they wrestle for a ball. And my dad was just eyes locked onto it. I made so many fly bys of the TV that I was just like "fuck it I'm going to my office to watch this on my PC."
