😆 Brilliant, hadn't seen that one.
One of my favourite Norm videos is him co-hosting the Youtube Comedy awards which he treats with all the reverence you'd expect.

Getting worse and worse, though. Last episode was laughably bad.
And worse again this week. Its trying way too hard now.
That's a shame, in what way is it bad?
To be fair as good as season 1 was, it somehow always felt like it was on the brink of being massively cringe.

Really awful. Hard to get through honestly.

Not that I've seen it, but to provide a different view point: It's the most critically acclaimed show of 2021.
A lot of critics are like that though, if the first season gets a bit of buzz they hype the second even if its not as good.
Yeah theres countless shows that get good reviews indefinitely after a good start. At the very least the critics lag behind viewers when it comes to spotting a downturn.
I loved Ted Lasso S1. S2 has not been as good. Just watched the Christmas episode and it was weird. Not sure what they were trying to do there.
Ken Burns with an Ali documentary episodes this time.

Read the Xmas episode and the latest episode (The on about beard) were tacked on after the rest was written because apple decided they wanted 12 instead of 10 once they hype built up.
Midnight Mass seems to get great reception so far for those who like Mike Flanagan's work. I have to say I really enjoy most of what he's making. Foundation has gotten some positive early reviews as well, but not as sure about that one since they've probably cherrypicked who got to see a couple of episodes.

Good ole TV execs if true. Just watched the one after Christmas one - where Roy has a career change - and really enjoyed it again. The writers had fun mucking around with rom com tropes. “As you wish!”

Makes a lot of sense. Hopefully it picks up now.

Liked the Midnight Mass trailer, might give that a go.
Watched the pilot for Heels last night. Enjoyed it, gonna give it a shot.

started watching midnight mass, which has been really good up to the halfway point
squid games is probably next on the list. heard good things about it
Couple Episodes in. Its decent but a bit predictable
I love Squid games. Better than Alice in the Borderland for me
