I really wanted to like that one. I think they tried too hard.

I'm not
familiar with the comedian around which the show is centered, so maybe that's why I like the show just fine. It has its moments that make me
laugh out loud.

I'm really
happy for you. We're just having a
difference of opinion.

@
Foxaire I am still sticking with 'You'. Things took a turn so I'm a little more interested. Guess I am in far enough that I may as well stick with it.

‘Hanna’. Two episodes in and I’m hooked. Hope it holds up.

To each his own. I’m a fan of high-concept thrillers, and this one is particularly well done.

I liked the first season of F is for Family, then less with each new season until noping season 4. I liked the 70s characters for the nostalgia and accuracy behind the exaggeration. I got tired of the episodic lack of character progress.
Much to my son's disappointment, I didn't make it past the first episode of Squid Game and had to cringe to do that. I know. It still sucks.

Never even tried to check out Squid Game. I can just tell it's stupid.

Even if I could have gotten past the overdub, Squid Game hit me the same way Shameless did: These people are worthless idiots; I don't care what happens to them.
