The TV thread

Just watched the first episode last night and it was crazy. Will probably get through the series in the coming days.

 

Midnight Mass. With seven episodes it's kind of like a long movie. I liked it. There is some compelling dialogue. It's thought provoking.

 

Loved it. Emmy for Hamish Linklater.

 

Started watching Sex Education last night. A lot of laughs in there. As a guy pushing 50, it feels very odd and a bit wrong to be watching a show about high school kids and their sex lives (even if I know the actors are over 18 and some looking almost 25).

 

Watched the bizarre Banana Splits movie where the characters go on a murder spree. It lived up to the hype. Still weird, but could have been weirder.

 

My wife and I plowed through the three seasons in about two weeks. We had some minor annoyances with the show, but overall, it's really fantastic. Gillian Anderson is putting in some especially strong work.

 

She's been good so far but I suspect her role will only get bigger from where I am, early in season 2.

 

Dear @Moderator1 ...

Spoiler: Whatever happened to Krist Novoselic?

In this week's episode of The Morning Show ...

 

Wasn't Hawaii 5-O in universe with NCIS-LA? Didn't they do some crossover episodes?

 

Squid Game

Why not?

 

Considering how many people are talking about it - yeah, it lived up to the hype. My one question is - between this and the movie Parasite, how messed up is the socio-economic situation in Korea? Is it worse than the US, or are we just a lot more "conditioned" to accept the way things are here?
