Anyone who says "this season is good" and doesn't actually mean "at least Roy is still around" is, I believe, a liar.

I think the season is good, though it would be less fun if Roy wasn't killing it, and

Fight the urge to pick apart the show. When everyone starts to like something, everyone wants to bring it down. Just turn off your brain and enjoy it. Give it the full run and then find weakness.

Saw a character in an Apple TV show using an Android phone but it was a child molester.

From what I've read, this upcoming episode and the XMAS episode were created when Apple changed their order from 10 episodes to 12 episodes. I'm enjoying this season also. I wasn't a huge fan of last week's episode either, but it still made me laugh out loud more than once.

Coach Beard Episode...

[+] spoiler: Drivel. A weak version of "After Hours" featuring a third level character. And what exactly did we learn about this character? Man, that episode pissed me off.

On a happier note, the first episode of "Reservation Dogs" is just great.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 12:13 am

I thought the Beard episode was interesting and fun. Threw a lot of artsy things at the wall. Some of them stuck.

Reminded me of The Fly episode on Breaking Bad. A diversion that didn’t move along the overall narrative.

ETA - somebody may have already noted this but just read that the writers of Season 2 originally wrote the season with 10 episodes, and then Apple expanded it to 12. That put them in the position of adding two episodes that wouldn't interfere with the ongoing plots. This one and the Christmas one are those two episodes.

I am curious... and judgemental.

[+] spoiler: Maybe part of my antipathy is due to the fact that the character is the least important one to the show. And that actor has the range of a writer.

But onward...

Anybody watching the new Scenes from a Marriage on HBO? I'm captivated by the experience so far despite it being emotionally draining.

I have not seen the original...has anyone else? Would you recommend?

I saw it as part of a course on the films of Ingmar Bergman.

Just grim stuff. Well made, but depressing as all hell.

Great for Houston. Curious that they choose a Texas location after the abortion law. David Simon is moving his new HBO series (whose story is based in Texas) out of Texas because of it.

Also, HBD Giff!

TY, sir!

Good on David Simon, but I really hope it's not still going to be a show based in Texas. I love seeing mountains where there ain't none and desert where there are forests in movies about Texas that aren't filmed here.

Didn't find any chatter on "Only Murders in the Building" on the 'lu. Just watched Ep1 and liked it a lot. I always forget that Martin Short seems like the kind of guy who's annoyingly "always on" but is also a really good actor. Steve Martin obviously rules. Selena Gomez is really good too.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Tue Sep 28, 2021 9:59 am

Reservation Dogs is amazing.

If you read a summary of what the episodes are about, it would sound like a heavy drama, but it's not. Absolutely hilarious, great characters and just perfectly done.
