I didn't really understand her objection to testifying. My understanding is the privilege belongs to the patient, not the therapist. If the patient, or the patient's estate, has consented for the therapist to discuss the patient's care, the therapist can't claim privilege or refuse to testify.

Goodbye Jack McCoy!

The guy who threw a giant party, whose biggest selling point was how exclusive it was, for celebrities and society people, really has no business accusing anyone of classism. The only thing I really got from the episode is that Truman really hates these women. I also didn't like the suggestion that these women somehow brought Truman's wrath on themselves.

Kind of a meh season. I think the show has real problems with tone. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching a comedic sketch from Inside Amy Schumer, then things suddenly took a turn to high drama. Don't get me wrong, the show has genuinely funny/sad moments, like the friend thinking she was walking into an intervention, it really being a surprise birthday party and the friend taking that as a catalyst to admit she has a problem. I also would have liked more development with Beth's sister. She seems like an interesting character, and I wanted to see more.

The whole thing was weird. There were scenes where it felt like they were filming Estelle Parsons at some different point in time from the main scene. Honestly, I thought it was going to be something like Bev and Jackie have a nice day, and Bev passes away. I really wasn't expecting that they'd just send the character off on a train by herself. At least the characters on the show seemed suitably horrified this had happened.

This best describes the movie. It's very much a movie where the only people having a good time are the actors, because they got a free trip to Greece.

This was a completely bonkers episode. The tone was all over the place, but I suppose they did a good job of showing just how awful Beth can be.

Kelly Bishop has a book coming out in September where she discusses her time on the show. Obviously, I will be buying it.

Even understanding that teenagers do stupid things, there's something seriously wrong with kids who think leaving a dead animal on someone's lawn is funny.

It's very hard for a public figure to succeed in court making that argument. Olivia de Havilland was still alive when the original season of Feud aired. Catherine Zeta-Jones played her during that season. De Havilland sued Ryan Murphy, et.al. for how they portrayed her, and essentially made the argument she was defamed by how she was portrayed. She lost her suit.

I attended public school. You stayed in the lunchroom / outdoor lunch area or went to the library for lunch. You didn't get to wander the school, or hang out with random teachers. This was mostly because the school had two different lunch periods, and they didn't want students disturbing the classes that were in session or leaving lunch trash all over the school.

It really was Truman who did those things to himself. No one made him write about his friends, and I think his problems with alcohol long pre-date his falling out with these women. I will say I don't think the show has done a good job of explaining exactly why Slim is being so vicious, when it seems like the other women appear ready to move on.

Becky was right, but honestly, she should have spoken to him the moment he started handing cash out.

The sixth season is starting production this summer, and will not air until some point in 2025. For reference, Season 5 aired its last episode in November 2022.

I did like that the moment Pete shot his father and just went into shock, Danvers first move was to immediately run to comfort him. I also liked that Save Tonight (it played over the end credits), that late 90s Eagle Eye Cherry pop hit, was yet another song that has been remastered into something dark and foreboding.

Yeah, but the assistant was alleging she was the one stealing pills from all those other homes, including this one. Smoking marijuana is legal in New York, and if that was her drug of choice, she'd have no reason to be stealing pills from various homes.

I think they said she was about to relapse when she was shot, so nothing would be in the autopsy. What I didn't get was that everyone just seemed to accept the victim was also a drug addict at some point in time. Did anyone actually try to verify that story?

I like that they seem to have found a purpose for Harris that can work within the show. However, does the character actually have any idea how to run a restaurant? It's a lot more than knowing where to get good produce. I was honestly thinking Louise would be the better choice to oversee things (wasn't she the manager at Becky's old waitress job?), with Harris maybe learning the ropes as things went along.

This kind of proves my point. The show isn't telling us these things. You need to look them up to understand what's happening. One of the nice things about the Bette/Joan feud season was the show gave us that history to explain why the women were the way they were. I thought the episode was a little silly and really did not move the dial on the story. It was played like a dress rehearsal for Truman's betrayal of the women, given he invited the cameras to record them during particularly vulnerable moments. I did enjoy Katherine Graham's face when Truman was talking to the camera about her husband's suicide. It was kind of a mix of horror and "WTF?!?" I also liked Joanne Carson randomly showing up at the end during the swan dance, like they suddenly remembered they needed to give Molly Ringwald something to do in the episode.

I'm mixed on it so far. I feel like we should have seen a lot more of Truman's relationship with these women before he betrayed them and they decided to cut him off. Outside of Babe Paley, I really don't know much about any of these women or their background, or what Truman wrote about them. Maybe it will be explained more as the show continues, but as it is, it's not particularly well done. And can anyone explain the point of Phyllis Diller being at Joanne Carson's Thanksgiving? She did nothing, said nothing, but her presence was very much a distraction.

In the first episode, towards the end, Danvers is called about the discovery of bodies and is told that Rose had found them.

I thought it was weird that Maddie's mother called Benson to essentially sit with her and provide comfort at the hospital after her husband tried to hang himself. Surely this woman has friends or family to help her?
