It’s pretty much a requirement to work for a Republican these days.

The intended result is making money. And that’s it. And it’ll work too.

I just started watching Severance and I’m 4 eps in of the first season.
I know it’s highly lauded and praised.
However I notice that I find myself repeatedly triggered; given my own deep loathing of corporate evil and faschist autocracy, I don’t know that I will be able to finish it.

i felt that way about HBOs Succession. could not get into it, even after finding out it was supposed to be dark comedy.
i didn’t find it humorous, in the least.
decided not to even try Severance.
i have a similar distaste for the subject.
edit: may not be the same distaste. i just don’t find anything entertaining in watching filthy rich wypipo doing horrible things to get “ahead”.

Oh, I know I can’t watch that shit; no matter how much lots of other people like it.
Ditto White Lotus, even though I did watch the first season of that show in its’ entirety.
Rich amoral assholes doing whatever the hell they please with little to no real negative consequences holds no interest for me either; real life is already like that, far too often.

Fingers crossed S02 is as good…

Unless there is some sort of sign for the impeding comeuppance for Lumon/the Eagans, I’m probably not going to.

Same. I couldn’t even make it through the first episode. Like…we’re living in this shit. I want my tv to be escapism, not more of the reality that already pisses me off. I do not give a shit about seeing the inner workings of families like the Murdochs and Trumps, not even fictionalized versions of them.

I felt that way about The Crown too, like, why should I spend time watching a sanitized, fictionalized version of the lives of noxious parasites?

Yeah, I never had any interest in watching that either. Honestly…I have trouble getting into much of anything these days. Most shows feel like they require an investment of possibly several years of not missing an episode. I kind of miss truly episodic tv shows, where each episode is almost completely disconnected from every other episode. Monster of the week, crime of the week, mystery of the week, hilarious misunderstanding of the week, and so on. I kind of hate that if you want to watch a show now, you basically need to watch from the first episode of the first season, and watch every episode in order without missing any. That’s a big commitment.

Everyone should watch a little French film named “Army of Shadows,” because it’s a good movie, and maybe for other reasons.

Rewatching Venture Brothers from the beginning (so we can watch the last season we’ve not seen yet and then the movie, which we got for Xmas)… I just realize that that show started 20 years ago…

Pussycat asked to watch something at lunch so I put this on because I knew she didn’t want to watch Silo or Squid Game S02 and this was all I had downloaded. It’s just the kind of stupid/smart silly humor I like and it’s a parody of Charles Dickens and I love Katherine Parkinson and Mitchell & Webb and SHE HATED IT and it led to a stupid fight and now it’s yet another show I’ll have to watch alone, in my COPIOUS FREE TIME (sarcasm).
