I had forgotten what an absolute shower of shit this show was. 😆

Fuck it was bad. Remember when he went to lecture a campus feminist?

Klaus

When he tells the rape victim that he has a moral obligation to believe her rapist over her 😆

The most telling thing about it was that there were similar rape cases breaking in the news at the time, with Bill Cosby and the University of Virginia mess, and they got handled in a much better way by actual journalists than in Sorkin's libertarian fantasy.

Qwiss

Yeah thats the one.

You know when you are having a shower or something and you are having imaginary arguments in your head with people where you win everytime, Sorkin made that into a show an paid actors to play the strawmen. More often than not a young attractive woman.

jones

That scene is so fucking bad it almost makes me want to watch the show

Burnwinter

😆 That was my reaction. Watching that was like reading an Eric Garland tweet storm or something

Klaus

But wait, there's more:

Coombs

😆 I just can't

Qwiss

In the Office when the boss plays guitar at everyone it's done for cringe, well done Sorkin, less self aware than Gervais.

QuincyAbeyie

😆 Ffs that show was on my watchlist.

Qwiss

You owe Klaus a drink then.

QuincyAbeyie

I seem to remember you warning me about it as well actually when I posted my watchlist a couple of years ago asking for recommendations.

Holy shit, that's just fucking unbelievable. Seriously. When it's supposedly surging to an uplifting finale and it just gets worse and worse …

Just watched first 2 episodes of Derry Girls. Brilliant fun. "Have you girls been killing nuns and making sandwiches?" or words to that effect.

Binged The Haunting of Hill House yesterday and thought it was absolutely great. Didn't rely much on jump scares, but more on the mystery and a tense atmosphere. Some very capable camerawork as well, and good acting from people I haven't seen much before.

Finished Top Boy and Top Boy Summerhouse. The new season was ok, the original two seasons were actually great television at times

Another bullshit show the mindhunter. Two seasons binge later, nobody knows the answer. Wish I knew it was a true crime series beforehand.

Finished Top Boy (Netflix). I enjoyed it. Decent TV. Found myself rooting for some of the characters, as malicious as they were. Kept thinking of Meatwad with all the guns going off every few minutes. What a waste of humans.

Succession is going to have a fantastic season 3 based on the recent finale

Bit harsh to call meatwad a waste

The best thing about all three seasons are the soundtracks. All London based and highly talented contemporary artists
