It really jumped the shark after season 1 or 2.
I bet my partner and kids will want to watch it though…

personally, loved it all
I will cede, quality went down, but still much better than almost every other mainstream tv comedy series (other than schitt's creek and I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson)
Jason is so great in this role…comedic and inspiring at the same time
that's hard to do

I feel like the show started of breezy and low pressure. . . The subsequent seasons (especially season 3) took themselves way too seriously.
There's a reason that sitcoms work in the 22 min. format, but they were taking big swings and leaning into way bigger things without the time, talent and subtly that it takes to balance the heavy with the effervescent. The show was best when it focused on the personal foibles with a bit of real-world strife as opposed to a real-world problems focused show, with offbeat characters.

Pretty certain it wasn't a comedy after Season 1.
Abbott Elementary is the best comedy of current shows, imo.

This week's White Lotus might be an early contender for the best episode of TV we will see this year. What a sumptuously shot hour of television.
Additionally, this week's Righteous Gemstones might be the most hilarious, joke-filled episode they've ever done. Every character's main story was amazing.
Great night for HBO.

have been enjoying this season of WL
I tried TRGs again…I can't stand or enjoy it
I get about zero pleasure from Danny McBride, his schtick does nothing for me
same goes for Adam Devine, I loved workaholics, but he has made millions playing the same character for the last decade
this might have been worth watching
On February 24, 2021, it was announced that the series would be returning as a film, intended for release on Paramount+.However, on January 9, 2023, it was announced that the film had been canceled, just five weeks before filming was set to begin.

Where do I find this behind the scenes? That every episode is one unbroken tracking shot is insane.
The child actor who plays Jamie gave a “Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver” level performance. Incredibly audacious.

It’s in Trailers and more, it goes further in depth on how they pulled off the one long tracking shot of each episode

Ok, may not be prestige…
Well 1/2 of my family has decided to binge Love Island (the horror!) but since we are paying for Peacock, I saw that
Poker Face was on there
This is a great show and has that Kung Fu/The incredible Hulk like story where they go from town to town saving the locals/solving crimes
but what I love is how they do the set up for the story, where you see one version of what goes down, then Natasha shows up and reverse engineers the whole situation
I'm a huge stan for natasha lyonne, but she is not everyone's cup of tea and I get that
The rotating cast of awesome actors is off the charts
The camera work is top notch and soundtrack is always good (any show gets a thumbs up from me when they play Driving on 9)

Count me among those who say that Natasha Lyonne makes my skin crawl.
I realize people say that about me too.
