The TV thread

I watched it the other night. His shows were my childhood. I thought it was a really nice retrospective.

 

Watching #blackaf on Netflix. Not for everyone but in my lane.

 

I’ve restarted Waco. Very glad I have.

 

Just started the final season of Homeland (thanks Xfinity Watchathon Week!) - great premise, circling back to the "can a former prisoner be trusted" premise that launched the series.

 

I didn't think the Seinfeld standup on Netflix was very good. The last 20 minutes on marriage - yawn.

The only funny thing in 80 minutes - "I don't like great restuarants."

 

Seinfeld became a run of the mill comedian when he got married and had kids. Started doing poop jokes and the like. He was a master at noticing the weird stuff in human interactions and behavior that he displayed so well on the sitcom.

 

Interesting Neflix "documentary" on LSD, mushrooms, etc: Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics.

Part documentary, part mockumentary (a la "Spinal Tap") and part groovy cartoon. Commentary from the wide array of authors, actors and musicians who like to "trip" and the crazy good cartoon animation are worth watching.

And I'll watch anything that has Kathleen Hanna in it!

 

He is funnier and sharper than he a has displayed in his recent standup. I liked the part about him being up there doing standup despite not having to was an interesting direction but then it got very safe again.

 

The Homeland finale was good - except you have to buy the idea that someone charged with killing the President of the US and several special operators was allowed to galavant around the world after being charged. Not like she's a flight risk or anything.

 

Finally finished the sixth season of Schitt's Creek. What a darling little show. And the finale was so good.

 

I just finished it, too. I love David Rose so hard.

 

Fyi for anyone who has not seen "Extras" with Gervais, his costar Ashley Jensen is in that also.

I loved season 1of "After Life". Especially the hooker and the cemetery scenes.
