Shrinking is pretty good! It occasionally stumbles BUT there are some pretty great highs. And they’re establishing a fun, comfy rapport amongst the main characters that I think is hard to do. And the theme song by Ben Gibbard is dope.

That movie made me incredibly uncomfortable as a child. It was like Problem Child meets The Good Son, but with a full grown man as the kid...

I had a copy of that, but I have no idea where it is. I wanted to do the same thing and read along as I watched this go around. Might just have to buy the ebook version

what's the easiest way to watch this? Is it anywhere not Starz because there's no chance in hell I'm paying for another channel. I unfortunatey cancelled my VPN last year becaused I realized I was rarely using it to
things anymore.

I don't think it's anywhere else. My wife and I got a $20 for six months deal for Starz so we're using that.

hmmm maybe I'll wait until it's all aired and pay $5 for 1 month to watch it

Has anyone else started Hello Tomorrow! on Apple TV? I am 2 episodes in and kind of loving it so far. Definitely intrigued enough to see it through. I don't want to give too much away, but I think it's the perfect amount of weird for me.

After listening to this I think I do want to rewatch Clifford.
The Last of Us Signals the End of an Era — WIRED
As HBO Max morphs into a new streaming service, the show feels like the final salvo for a particular kind of viewing experience.

Take away your likes on on my post above. And don't sub to Starz expecting Yellowjackets because it ain't there.

Watched the Pilot episode of Superstore and what the hell was that? It had no substance, no backstory, just goofy characters going through seemingly unconnected scenes. It’s like they crammed a season’s worth of ideas into a single episode. Does it get better?
Nope. It's mostly the same, exaggerated retail satary with no set story.
I mean, there was one episode that revolved around someone slicing their finger off working in the deli, they put it in some kind of container / cold food to preserve it so the finger can get reattached, but then of course someone puts said container out for sale. Then they can't find it and then it gets returned because someone found a finger in their food.
That was the whole episode with a bunch of random unrelated side skits. But that theme of the finger just kept coming up.
It's funny for people who worked retail and want mindless humor.
I mean, it's good if you like mindless humor. But no, don't expect it to get any better than how you took the pilot.

I watched the second episode. It wasn’t amazing, but it was significantly better with a set storyline. I might stick with it idk
To be fair, I don't remember the pilot particularly, and am just thinking of what I have watched of the series as a collective.

Man, I love Superstore. One of my favorite workplace comedies.
Lol. Seriously. Superstore is one of the best modern sitcoms from front to back. It is definitely set in a cheesier, less hip tone than the Office or Parks and Rec but it’s sneaky smart and the characters coalesce pretty quickly into a fantastic ensemble. The season near the end that deals with ICE is a great example of mixing serious topical stuff with a silly comedy show and the finale is great too. Stick with it!

I remember watching it and feeling similarly at the time and never revisited it.
I will say based on reviews it does seem as though it eventually hit its stride a bit. I don’t know if it was ever amazing but I think it would eventually become watchable. I doubt Superstore ever becomes The Office or Parks & Recreation (like I think it wants to be) but both those shows took a full season to kinda figure things out.

I watched the first few episodes of the Night Court reboot. It’s not a complete waste, Melissa Rauch and especially John Larroquette seem like they are having a good time. It’s not ground-breaking and obviously it has nothing on the original but I am will to give it a shot and see if maybe the show can figure out some other f it’s weaker parts.
Now I gotta give That 90s Show a shot.
