Just binged 4 seasons of "Brockmire" in like 3 days. Hank Azaria (the Simpsons voice guy) stars as a washed-up baseball announcer trying to make a comeback, and he has surprisingly good dramatic chops. Meanwhile, the dialogue is like if Aaron Sorkin told dick jokes. Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it sure as hell is mine.

Which Streaming service?

And from outta knowhere, it's Elspode!!!

Like fucking feldspar...

Hulu

We saw Hamilton a couple years ago when it came to the Kennedy Center, but it was the travel show and was not the original cast. It was ok then, but the original cast last night was really really good. Almost like a different show.

Here's the viewing party last night. It felt darker than that, but this picture was taken around 8:45, after the sun set but before night really fell.

Athlete A on Netflix. I'm beyond disgusted. small bites is all I can manage. Living in Michigan with athlete children, this is...... thank goodness this finally became public. poor, poor children :cry:

I'm watching Cobra Kai. I'm about halfway through season two and I'm really fucking irritated at the stupid, shark-jumping writing. Cobra Kai students just caused several thousand dollars worth of damage to Miyagido dojo as well as theft. They even spray painted their calling card.

Does LaRusso call the fucking cops and have the asshole arrested? OR does the salesman press charges for assault that a bunch of people witnessed?

No.

Give me a fucking break. Shitty writing.

I stopped after the first episode. Was irritated that I got tricked into even one by people (idiots, apparently) claiming it was good. I feel bad for the actors, who are surprisingly halfway decent--nothing can overcome writing that bad.

Not watching Cobra Kai,but that reminds me of Locke and Key, except they concentrated the vast majority of the bad writing into the last episode.


So you do at least get most of a pretty good season, but then they take stupid pills just before the final episode.

At first I thought it maybe had potential to explore the ways in which people change and grow and respond to the slings and arrows of this vale of tears, or something like that.

But then it started sucking really bad until now there's no air in the room and I can see a light at the end of a long hallway... Grandpa, is that you?

American Crime

Night Shift

Neither are worth shit.

almost done with American Gods season 2. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It feels a bit meandering and not like a story that has a conclusion.

It's based on a book, so if they have enough notice of cancellation, they have a ready-made conclusion to use.

Have I mentioned here that The Leftovers (HBO streaming) is very good? Because it is very good.

Great British Bake Off

one episode per night during dinner

we can't really eat any of that stuff but we will watch it being prepared
