Agree hundo P

Havent even seen a preview for this. Please tell me about it.

BJ Novak series (positive or negative, depends on who you ask), only 6 episodes came out in 2021
It has black mirror feel, but has lots of great comedians/actors and always has you kind of on edge

I lifted this
The show combines daring comedic premises with equally daring dramatic performances, creating a new tone for a new time. Episodes use comedy to engage with the big issues of our unprecedented modern era.


No word if there will be a season two, but I hope so

Kaleidoscope is worth the watch. My order:

Black
Yellow
Green
Violet
Blue
Orange
Red
Pink
White

Not sure it matters. What order did you watch?

Fun soundtrack too!

The bear was a musical or a comedy??

There is a growing trend — codified by the Emmys — to call anything with a thirtyish minute episode runtime as a Comedy and anything with a sixtyish minute episode runtime as a Drama.

I hated the Bear. Bunch of people screaming at each other. Hit too close to home.

But anyway, when I heard about that Steve Carrell show on Hulu, I figured it must be a 60 minute drama. Then I saw that it had 20 minute episodes and figured it was a comedy. Then I watched the first episode, and it wasn't a comedy. So confusing.

that's just nuts
I can't see any possible way The Bear is either a musical or a comedy…not even remotely

I promise that I will eventually stop carrying on about this album, but in the meantime the Austin City Limits episode of Adrian Quesada  “Boleros Psicodélicos” concert with all the guest vocalists has aired and now can be streamed or seen via Passport.  Can’t get enough of this album…

After seeing Sam Smith on SNL, I have to ask, how is this dude so popular?

Paul T Goldman had just shattered what remains of my little Julian brain. I thought The Rehersal was going to be the biggest jump in the world of Meta/anti-comedy this decade but this just blew past it. Don’t even know how to describe. A send up of true crime/QAnon/the works of Nathan Felder/and mockumentaries.

Someone please watch this (Peacock) so we can discuss.

but is it prestige??

I have about six days left of Peacock so would need to watch it soon. Is it something I can background and half watch while I am teleworking, or does it need actual attention?

I tried to background the Rehearsal (great) but found i actually needed to pay attention.

Definitely needs attention.

I would say so. If Nathan Felders work is prestige, this definitely is.

Just finished the Goldman series and if you’ll excuse me I’m off to work on my multiverse and ponder the shirts we was wearing.. and that last episode is a doozy…

Dude, I cannot stop thinking about this show.

I wonder if his wife is going to do an exclusive interview, seems like something she would definitely want to cash in one now.  Also, they really didn’t dive into his supposed dealings with the FBI, etc

Yes on the wife. The FBI thing feels very much to me like he called in a tip, an agent met with him, he called them back a few times and they were polite and that was it.

The Last Of Us
Episode three

Just hand Nick Offerman his Emmy
