Yes

Where did you think it was going?

I’m only into episode 2. I’ve always loved the Alien theme, but there is some silliness in this series. Not the fun kind of Bill Paxton Aliens silliness—just odd, non-serious story choices. But, we’ll see if that stops me soon or if I just process that this is a series, and it was made by the Legion guy….

I was planning to check it out but after listening to Chris and Andy on The Watch pod, it didn't sound like something I'd be too interested in. About to start Families Like Ours on Netflix, premise sounds extremely interesting.

The entire world being run by corporate factions things . It’s as they say FACILE.

I am surprised nobody has posted about Dexter : Resurrection. Maybe it's considered a guilty pleasure or something. Wild stuff. Uma Thurman is in it, and Peter Dinklage. His character consumes even more wine than his character in Game of Thrones did, for some reason. Some old associates of Dexter appear.

I thought i had mentioned this show. I watched a couple(?) episodes but stopped—didn't find enough appeal in the new actors' maybe. But, i didn't realize Uma and Peter were in it. I may have to restart.

Has anyone seen The Paper?

New show from some of the people behind The Office?
I love the Office—still watch it almost every day.

The Paper is just unfunny. I can fully understand how the creators 'got a meeting' and a pilot. I can't understand how the pilot or subsequent scripts were greenlit.

I agree. There is potential for storytelling there, but it is not funny. The Italian lady’s character, in particular, is really not funny. She was fine in The White Lotus though.

Started the paper on peacock. It’s okay so far, not exactly pulled in though. Same creators of the office and some general tie ins.

Just posted before seeing this. Did you finish it?

I gave it my best effort and got through three episodes.

The Paper—I got through four. It bothers me enough that I don’t think I’ll go through any more.

Anyone watching TASK (HBO Max)? From the same people as the excellent Mare of Easttown. Same region and accents, taking me back to my childhood…. It’s similarly dark in an intimate way. Pretty good so far, after the two available episodes. But, the basic storyline is oddly coincidental with Dope Thief. The producers must have had conniptions.

I’m surprised—I don’t think anyone has mentioned Peacemaker since I posted about season one.
