it is somewhat interesting that Glenn was borderline most successful of the gang going into the series and he's not really been boosted by it like Charlie Day was, he's doing more voice acting

iirc Rob has always preferred to be "behind the camera" and producing/writing but does Mac for the show, he's the director for the Minecraft movie which is probably going to do more to fuck up Sunny's schedule than Glenn on another sitcom

none of this counting Danny DeVito of course who stepped out of Hollywood ages ago and is like an ascended fan who may or may not think it's all real

End of the F***king World was a fantastic modern True Romance x Ayoade’s Submarine/Wes Anderson mini-series. It’s hilarious, it’s touching, the acting/directing/music is great. The first five eps are pretty much perfect. It’s a little weaker in the last couple, but still good.

My favorite genre is quirky indie romance adventures, so this I thought it was pretty fantastic. Also I appreciate 20-25 min eps, I’ve never been a fan of hour long tv eps, pacing tends to drag sometimes.

Like Amazon’s Red Oaks was trying so hard to nail the nail that Wes Anderson vibe, and this show hits that feel effortlessly. It’s such a better show in that genre.

Would highly recommend it unless you are completely dead inside.

Interestingly, the Netflix rules for what is downloadable for offline viewing ALSO varies by region. Netflix content varying from region-to-region didn't surprise me. This is weird, though:

Gotham is available in both the USA and Japan, but I was able to download episodes for travel viewing in Japan, but can't download more while in the USA.

There's a heap more stuff that WON'T be available in Japan, so I'm loading up my iPad with those instead.

I finally got around to watch Stranger Things.

I give it that that I usually hate everything with kid actors in it and I am not the biggest sci-fi fan but it still entertained me. But I don't get all the fuss about it. I thought overall it was decent but season 2 felt really same-y to me.

Man what happened to Homeland. S1 was great, despite the finale feeling like a cop out. Despite the ending not doing what it should have done, S2 could have been good....but was atrocious instead. S3 was better, but still weak. I think I quit a few episodes into S4.

Binged Unreal S2 a few days ago. I couldn’t get into S2 as it was airing because it seemed so much worse than the awesome first season. I think the problem may have been that I just wasn’t able to binge it. S2 was pretty great, although the beginning is the roughest patch.

Finished my rewatch of season 2 of The Wire.

Still can't really decide whether I like it more than the first season. Some of the episodes really dragged; overall it took me longer to finish it compared to season 1.
But I still admire how they effortlessly switched setting and characters while still keeping plotlines and people from the first season relevant. The new characters from the docks and the (pseudo-)Greek mob are very different. Some of them are pretty fun and interesting, while others are Ziggy.

Season 2 does have the more gut-wrenching scenes in my opinion. Like what happened to D'Angelo Barksdale. Or Frank Sobotka visiting his son in prison. I mean season 1 has the thing with Wallace, but that was long in coming while those I mentioned from season 2 often came kinda out of nowhere.

In the end they're both great seaons. Gonna wait a bit though, until I continue with season 3.

Chang and Peter Meehans new show Ugly Delicious is fucking great.

Making fun of tired Italian pizza fascists

Worshipping Yakitori Chicken Wings as the greatest achievement of mankind

Edit: I don't usually fuck with watching cooking show series pasta few episodes, but their angle of skewering pious traditionalism in food culture makes it so much more compelling for me than other shows of its ilk. Makes it quite funny when they never infer any of the Japanese methods could, or should, be modified

The first season of Jessica Jones captivated me. But after more than two years of anticipation of a second season, the first five episodes of the show’s second season left me disappointed and, worst of all, bored.

He’s giving a better performance than he normally does, but he’s definitely not looking as good as Koresh. He must of traded some of his looks for talent.
