I caught the first two episodes the other night. Acting was top notch, for sure, and they've managed so far to make a story about housing far more compelling than most recent TV, I thought. Still a few story lines that I'm unsure how they tie in exactly, but off to a good start I'd say.

which leads one to the unicorn known as, "a Hollywood film that contains two non-white people who talk to each other about something other than a white person."

yeah i couldn't believe how compelling it was. i was having a little trouble keeping up with it though cos it seems to skip ahead through time fairly regularly. [spoiler]like, those two black kids who just started dating. next thing they're moving in together and after that she's like six months pregnant[/spoiler]

my mum and sister have just finished Six Feet Under. I didn't really watch it other then when it was on and I was also in the room so I saw a fair few episodes. It's a really great show and I should probably actually watch it properly one day.

started watching the Wet Hot American Summer show on netflix. so far it is pretty funny but unable to recreate the magic of the original movie. much like all remakes I guess. it's funny how everyone knows and accepts that movie sequels will be bad, but when it comes to these netflix resurrections a la Arrested Development, everyone is 100% on board.


Here's my hot take of the day: the show is better than the movie

Is that actually controversial in any way?

Anyone watching Mr. Robot?

yeah though I'm two episodes behind, so this postponement of the finale doesn't mean much to me

I just watched the episode before the finale. I wouldn't mind making a thread if anyone else is watching.
