When the first ep came out I checked my Prime and it looked like they were doing a week-to-week release after the first 2 episodes or something, so I decided to hold out for a binge. But then a week or so later I checked again and everything was there. Weird. Anyway I’ve forgotten a lot too. Haven’t actually watched any of S4 yet |

I’ve been watching a bit of Bob’s Burgers finally
Also: • The Dropout on Hulu about Elizabeth Holmes. Good show. • Some of Impeachment: American Crime Story, which is not a good show but probably has some important messages about the harassment some women endured as a result of right-wing efforts to force Clinton into resignation. I mean society was cruel beyond belief to Lewinsky. I’m not sure that would fly today, which is a good thing • When I’m bored I’ll put on Psych. No clue why. It’s not great but I hear it gets better. The fact that it’s a loose Sherlock Holmes homage makes me somewhat keen to see how it unfolds. So far very “mid-2000s on the USA channel” but we shall see |

but picking it up after so long felt disconnected, so i went back to s1e1-- highly rewatchable, still addictive, totally worth it. - btw, for a bored usa thing... i've watched all of burn notice... twice, lmao. once when it was out, once years later. it often verges on the ridiculous but it's always fun. |

totally understand. That’s how I feel about the movie The Family Man with Nicolas Cage. Probably not a great film but I’m so glad it exists |

=== anyway, the thing i've watched most recently on "tv" is an amazon original from argentina. it made me laugh my ass off. ![]() PORNO Y HELADO aka "porn and ice cream". when i dared played the first episode i thought i was gonna cringe, but no, i laughed from the start, and didn't stop. it's very fucking good. so i ended up watching all 8 episodes this week. some things will be lost in translation for people unfamiliar with the culture and the music, but the subtitles have actually undergone a fair amount of adaptation to reach english-speaking audiences. gonna copypaste the tagline now: "Two socially-awkward thirty-somethings and a young con woman start a rock band that takes the Buenos Aires music scene by storm. " anyway it's not quite that (it wasn't to me anyway, because it's heavy on irony, satire, parody, and sheer absurdity) but that gives you an idea of the setting for this thing. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14369952/ |

watched 1 and 1/2 seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It curbed my enthusiasm for the show.
Only funny like 10% of the time. The rest is the endless complaints of an entitled rich white guy with nothing to do but allow his neurosis to affect everyone around him. Like watching Costanza without Jerry, Elaine or Kramer. a fucking nightmare really.

ok, so, i mentioned this shit in the movies thread, there's this new(ish) anime that appeared on amazon in... january?
![]() i held back for a while and finally gave it a chance... the first couple of minutes of the first episode are really idiotic, and then surprise, it becomes hilarious. i had almost turned it off! and then blam, ok, you have me laughing, i'm watching the rest. it's basically a sword and sorcery (and primitive guns) adventure, but well-peppered with foul language and sex and jokes that make it entertaining for adults. the story is ok, it's just a story; but the comedy is for me the best part, so it was good fun to relax at the end of the workday. the voice actors who do this also stream their d&d games on their website... but i'm not into that sort of shit (i know because i tried). the scripted stuff however is good. |

i like a short comedy apéritif before sitting down for a drama. probably a habit ingrained from network tv schedules. and it works? |

semi-bingeing on "community".
watched it on and off when it came out, but i'm liking it more now in complete sequence, which helps understand some details better. it's kind of insane now that back in the day (lol) tv shows had something like 25 episodes per season. i don't know who does that now. |

Watched the final season of Killing Eve.
Crazy to the very end.

more "community", and i've been tracing the origins of rick and morty in this show? in season 3 the parallels are already in full bloom.

Winning Time, the HBO Show about the early Magic Johnson era Lakers, is very good. Adam McKay, don’tcha know. It’s apparently historically inaccurate but I never assumed it was gospel, so I don’t mind. Very Adam McKay.
Barry is back so I’ve watched some Barry. Not caught up. Saving Atlanta episodes for sometime when I can binge the last handful. Almost done with Ozark. Haven’t actually been watching much TV; maybe 30-45 minutes max in a day. And not every day. |
