Correction: San Francisco Cocksucker

There's a photo of all the adult actresses as kids. I can't find it with a quick google but they're actually pretty similar.

Premiere was absolutely great and the previews I've seen for episode 2 look crazy.

Also I've heard of Christina Ricci throughout the years but never had a chance to watch any show she was in until now. She stands out among an already excellent cast and she's even better season 2. Def one of my fave characters on the show.

Omg yes! Hearing her cuss was just awful

It’s based on a book

As a side note to this discussion, I wonder: if someone unfamiliar with Lost were to binge it now, would they enjoy it more than someone who watched it when it came out?

I ask because when watching a show over the years, there is a lot of down time to think (and overthink) your own theories, whereas if you binge it, you wouldn't do that as much.

I absolutely love Lucky Hank but if you aren't a literary nerd I can imagine it's pretty boring or not funny. Like if you came to Odenkirk from BCS I don't think Lucky Hank might keep your attention very long.

Ha, I liked it. The atmosphere and costumes, the whole setting was really well done.

Spoiler alert: it’s exactly what you’d expect.

Just finished it, it was ok. It felt like a very safe average show. Wasn't bad but nothing to be excited for either. Idk if it needs a second season tbh. Seems like a pretty generic show, if u have nothing to watch and a few days to kill it will be ok to fill the time with.

The male and female leads are kinda meh, the other characters were more interesting. Little sad they killed monks but that's whatever.

Absolutely this. “Why wasn’t Caroline in the City as good as What We Do in the Shadows?” is a ridiculous question with the exact same issue.

I just finished this episode 5 minutes ago by chance and I love the scene at the end where the doc finds the dead Chinese girl in a cage and yells at Woollcott. Great episode.

Don't be surprised if Paramount plus gets popular

People downvoting you because the office was still a big show but when you look at initial viewing numbers it only became the monster that it is today because it was one of the first streaming shows available. 2009-10 when you could watch it on netflix allowed for a revitalization more so than just through TBS/Comedy central reruns.

Without it being one of the first big shows to draw streaming attention IDK if it's still viewed in the same fashion that it is today.

Ah, so that’s what he was shooting in Toronto.

One of the best nepo babies coming out of Hollywood today.

i'm not here to shit on the good place as I loved it but it lacks a lot of that rewatchability that other big hit sitcoms have. The plot moves forward and there are some filler episodes but I think the biggest reason why it's a shorter series than most is the S1 reveal kinda alters the entirety of the show. It no longer can be a mix of fillers moving the plot forward, after that reveal each episode MUST work towards advancing the plot. Solid show but I think reddit gives it way to much praise when comparing it to sitcoms that carry A LOT of weight either due to initial viewing magnitude or the amount of people/hours rewatching it.

The way the writing veers between shakespearean and potty mouth is a thing of absolute cocksucking beauty.

A quote I like: When I say, 'Go fuck yourself, Sheriff,' will you put that down to drunkenness or a high estimate of your athleticism?"

Nice man! That's awesome to hear. Tokyo Vice is great. If you haven't seen Midnight Mass on Netflix, you should give that a shot. It was my fav from 2021.

*also, if you keep going; Sandman is probably not for everyone, but I liked it.

the toby dude oversaw some of the funniest episodes in the office

so i have no idea what ur talking abt

The Good Place ends on a cliffhanger nearly every episode. Not only is it plot driven but it’s really quite enthralling. Highly recommend

He himself didn’t feel real, but his interactions and relationships with his friends made sense. It why chemistry is so important.

American Auto seemed like it could have been funny, but it felt like it leaned too hard into the “these people are the worst”.

It’s well written. His character is enjoyable, almost in a Saul Goodman playing his retirement role.

But the one hour is so heavy with words and characters I’m having trouble connecting and being interested in some of these small filler actors

Loved season one but I’m praying they don’t drag this show out past it’s best before date like they do with literally every other hit they’ve ever had. Please for the love of god just end on a high not for once showtime!!!!
