Agreed. It's really well done, and surprising that it's kind of buried. I think Episodes 1 & 2 are coming out Thursday.
The Penguin. Only one episode so far, but I was surprised how good it actually was. Colin Farrell plays such a weird character, but strangely fun to watch.
Last episode of Saturday Night Live was actually pretty funny. I thought the last sketch Spoiler Glory Hole Sushi or whatever it was called was pretty stupid. And I think Spoiler Dick In The Box and I'm On A Boat, etc are pretty funny. But the rest, with Nate Bargatze doing another George Washington was funny, his opening monologue was funny, and I actually thought Coldplay killed it. That caught me off guard, because I thought they were going to be old and lame, and they weren't. Oh, and Nate shouting "Vandy beat Alabama" or whatever he said was classic.
Finished watching Bad Monkey and was not impressed. Started off well enough but the last couple of episodes were very lame.
Not sure if anyone else here watched it, but it was announced that Sugar is coming back for a second season. No idea how that's gonna go compared to the mid-season fuckery from the first, but I'm intrigued enough that I'll give it a shot.
I really liked Sugar the first few episodes. I didn't even mind the twist, it just wasn't as fun a watch by the end. I will check out season 2 though.
Did you finish the season? I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would - couple people suggested I watch it, so I gave it a go. Feels like DC has been a wasteland of entertainment outside of Batman movies, and I realize this is Batman-adjacent but it doesn't involve him. I did not see that last episode moment coming ("I can't take you with me"). Excellent character development, which is just fucking nonexistant in so many shows and movies. Please show me why I should give a shit about a character before informing me that I need to care about their Big Emotional Moment.
Yeah, I finished it. Really enjoyed it overall. The actress playing Sofia Falcone stole the show. Cobb as a character was definitely influenced by Tony Soprano, Spoiler right up to and including the part where he strangles Vic so he wouldn't be a burden to him. Basically the same thing that happened to Christopher Moltisanti. That was just a brutal scene all around, immediately followed by having his hooker girlfriend dress up like his mother. It was far better than I thought it was going to be. Collin Farrell was just disgusting to look at, but I'm glad they try didn't make him a literal penguin like Danny DeVito.
I caught the first two episodes of Landman, really enjoyed them. If you like Billy Bob Thornton, give it a look.
Partway thru the most recent season of Somebody Somewhere and I'm still surprised that this show doesn't have a bigger following. I think it's because there are a bunch of relative nobody's on the show and none of them are attractive. Which is kind of the point IMO. Anywho, we find it very funny, emotional and heart wrenching at times. Edit- Attachment says "Drama" but I think it's more of a comedy. Episodes are 30 mins and you'll know if you like it after just a few
Apropos of nothing, my wife recently got into this old medical "drama" called The Resident, starring the same guy who played our mutual friend TM in his biopic. Some hijinks do ensue but not very wacky, certainly no dripping diarrhea across a hotel lobby.
