This new one gets almost too real. It's disarmingly powerful at times. It's also fucking hilarious. It's funny that "J.D Salinger" was a character on the show for a season. I think he would approve of the show if he were alive to see it.

i started watching 'better things' which is produced by louis ck and stars pamela from the show. i like it way better than louie actually.

mitchell and webb have a new show called 'back'. the first episode was good. i think david mitchell is f'n hilarious.

recently my wife and i started watching OUTLANDER. which turned out better than expected. it's a bit slow in general but there's plenty of ogling to do while things move, plus some stinking gore. not bad.

also catching a bit of ORANGE, whatever is the latest season available. i have no opinion on it yet. it's like a long growing zit that's waiting to pop. popping hasn't occurred yet.

Watching Vice Principals, finishing season 1. it got better as it went along.

watching Animals on HBO. funny, NYC-centric take on what animals do.

Vice Principals was dumb and funny like Eastbound and Down (though not as funny), and Animals is pretty twisted and cool. I’ve only seen a few episodes, but I dig the animation and some of the musical choices. Kim Gordon lent her voice to the second season, I think.

Don’t have HBO anymore so I dunno and can’t take a quick looksee to be sure.

I finished “LOVE” on Netflix. good, but if you’re a metropolitan educated white person who tends to get melancholy about relationships, there are like a hundred legit trigger warnings here. Shit is un-fucking-comfortable. Also touches on drug and alcohol addiction and recovery culture in some potentially upsetting ways. Eveeyone’s a fucking mess though, and it’s realistic enough for its own VERY narrow cultural and socio-economic demographic.

It’s a Judd Apatow thing. Seems like Apatow has kind of become the Woody Allen of the millennial generation. So, like... no black or brown people... just successful, intellectual white folks bickering about art and coolness. I dunno. Good show though.

Now I’m re-watching “the Newsroom” on Amazon Prime. Good stuff, but Sorkin could use a lesson in realspeak, bless his heart.

I read an interview with McBride and the other vice principal and they said the show is set up to have the first season be all set up for the massive jokes and hilarity that ensue in the second season. that's their plan. I hope it works out. I have not seen episode one of season 2 yet. it makes sense.

Comedy about the BBC by the BBC, W1A,pretty good. Has that "insider" and desperation to it that I liked in Thick of It. A little more zany than Thick,though, but some genuinely hilarious moments...

Has anyone else seen this? Two seasons are streaming on Netflix. It’s a Judd Apatow joint, as I’ve probably said. But I’m dying for some input here.

that's brita isn't it?

i know nothing

I've seen like 3 episodes. I need to resume eventually.

Who’s Brita? (I know less than nothing apparently.) That’s the hot chick from Love. And she’s, like, HOT... like, her voice is fucking hot. Her delivery is hot. She is truly, truly hot AF.

I wouldn’t date her character on the show though.

brita from community

Oh... YEAH!!! Holy shit I forgot all about that show. And Brita. Yowza.

Did anyone watch Glow with Alison Brie? You see her in Community and then you see her in Glow she looks so different. Probably cause she did seem to lose a considerable amount of weight. Which of course shouldn't matter, just takes some getting use to.

I definitely enjoyed it, but I'm also a prowrestling fan. Probably some lost weight, hair poofed up.

But she was tiny and adorable in Community. She’s even smaller in Glow?

Hmm. I should see.

about to start...

Been watching 3 series lately. Liar, which is about a date rapin' doctor in the UK, Penoza, about a hash smuggling family in NL, and Vikings. You Euros do some pretty good TV.
Also, the new Star Trek is pretty decent, good Klingons!

New Star Trek decent you say?

Hmm. Tell me more. Which of the previous shows is it most like? And if the answer is Enterprise, then don’t worry about it.
