I will admit that I have only watched the Scalzi episodes, so far.
Three Robots was fun, especially having read the story. Yogurt is almost a little too on the nose for our current reality. Alternate Histories? Meh.

I started with Witness.
When I watched LDR I didnāt realize that the episode order was one of four, so my thought on Witness was that it was okay but a definite way to say Yes. This is TV Mature and we mean it.
Rewatched the episodes I really liked and now Iām looking for the original Heavy Metal because Iām really in the mood for seeing the Loc-Nar again.

Even the characters who are not New Age cult leaders talk like New Age cult leaders

Yup. I found The Leftovers to be more active at pissing me off, but OA is just ridiculous.

I was going to comment on that show, but now I want to wait and hear what you thought first.
I didnāt mind the ending, because I saw the time reset coming.
S2 should be interesting to see how they reconcile the different timelines and being back in their younger bodies.

I didnāt realize until later that there was going to be another season. I canāt imagine how theyāre going to handle the noticeable aging of the kids. I also canāt imagine how theyāre going to restart Russian Doll, unless they are going to use a whole new cast.

I love it. I am such the audience - yes, I know. Iām a terrible person who buys yoni eggs. No, not really. But I am that market.

Have you seen
the characters are flawed and corrupt but also are trafficking in actual wisdom that helps people
and they manage to keep it ambiguous whether the supernatural/pseudoscientific stuff is ārealā or not

For Russian Doll, they kinda have to. Thereās no point in watching it, otherwise.
I love the idea, but not the execution.

Saw (and liked) the latter, but not the former.
Hideaway is another one, but itās horrible.

Boogie Nights (the softcore version)
I remember an old episode of SCTV in which Earl Camembert referred to ABC as a T & A network. This show proves him right. I liked it, but mostly as a sort of ephemeral film (like the shorts that used to feature on MST3K, except my interest is more sociological than mocking).
Few would want to sit through this, so Iāll just list a few good/interesting points:
Nice nostalgic mostly disco soundtrack (who knew that there were disco covers of Pink Floyd?)
The women who get significant camera time apparently all under 25, the men over 40 (with the apparent exceptions of The Village People and Wayland Flowers. Hmmmmmā¦)
Wayland Flowers had another puppet besides Madame, who gets some of her material from the Popsicle Twins (watch Jim Brown start practicing his āIām going to just pretend this isnāt happeningā expression years before Kanye)
At least on camera, Hugh Hefner was a serious contender for the Least Interesting Man in the World.
Oh yeah, I promised some Boogie Nights, didnāt I? Well, the Village People end the affair with āRock and Roll is Back Againā and āReady for the 80āsā (oh dear) and Dorothy Stratten is successfully wooed by Richard Dawson (a happy ending).
