4 completely unoriginal, dull stories. Didn't we see it all before, only better? Basically 2 of them were "Black Mirror" rip off and other 2 were predictable and stupid. I also find the whole Saxenda-Ozempic shading in the "Tapeworm" so annoying. I bet the 90 % of the crew including Murphy is using it. "Organ" was also badly done from the technical perspective. The camerawork, the cutting felt very amateurish. It's like the director is completely incompetent and doesn't know what she's doing. I hope it will be cancelled, they really have nothing original to say.

It became unwatchable ☹️

Just when you think they can't make this show even more stupid than it is already.... BANG!!!

It is as bad as the podcast it's based upon... 😪

TVLine became such a s**t lately.

It is probably one of the worst shows of the decade. Tired, unoriginal and just plain horrible.

The Idol in a nutshell:

I mean, his character is extremely unrealistic; sex scenes are cringe; and gosh! no woman in a sober mind would sleep with a man who dresses and acts like Tedros (although I realise that Jocelin is on drugs and pills, so maybe that's why...)

I may stop watching it after the 3rd episode. It's just bad bad awful now. How much does Weeknd pays HBO to be in this? I'm sure there's a catch.

Can they kill The Weeknd off in the next episode? He makes this show unwatchable. I'm obsessed with it, and I wonder why it's not in top 5 on Spotify. Is it because it is actually a parody of a pop hit (though I don't think The Weeknd knows that it's a parody)?

Well I teach the 1990s so I know all about how the enthusiasm of the first half of the 1990s turned into gloom of 1999/2000. Still the dark filter doesn't really help make it more authentic. The characters behave themselves like contemporary teens and they do things no one would do in the 1999.

I don't want to be negative, but it's not even close to the last season. And unlike the last season it also doesn't feel like 1990s. Even the music doesn't help 😪

I really enjoyed the first 3 episodes. It is trash, it knows it is trash, and Luke McFarlane is such a bad actor in comparison to Rogen and Byrne, that every time he is in the frame it's cringe.

It was the worst season. And the ending was sh...

Oh well, after 3 great seasons they choose the most boring and uninspired route to finish the show. And funny that YOU did similar stint in season 4.

Not the newest version of PLL, which was exactly as awful as this season of this mess, if not worse. But I too think this season is abomination. This were the worst 5 hours of television I've seen in a while.

If he's not willing sex scenes – fine. He can retire from acting, and Netflix can put this show out of the misery. Season 4 is pure trash that really has no right to exist.

I hope the show won't survive beyond this season. It's that bad. The killer reveal was anti-climatic, it was obvious from the start that Rhys is the killer (TV cliches again). Once he shared his whisky with Joe you knew there's something wrong with the guy.

The most important part of this job, even a temporary one, is that you have to be recognized before you get the position. Academia doesn't function in a way it is portrayed. Conventions, reading groups, colloquia etc. are all very public activities. Then the information about you + your picture can be on the university's website, so if you don't want to be visible, lectureship in an Anglo-Saxon university is not a job for you.

How did he get this job? There are like 200 candidates for each vacant position in English/American Literature/Studies and you would be never able to get one without connections, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, diploma from Cambridge, Oxford, Princeton, Harvard, or Yale and a PhD. One should also have a certain media presence, or be known from conferences and conventions. And then (if you get it) during first years you wouldn't have a salary to live in a posh apartment. I know the show is unrealistic, but all these stereotypes about Literary studies (including a professor, who is a serial murderer) are old and outrageous.

I'm still sad about the cancellation. It was by far the best Sci-Fi show we had in recent years. Not to end it properly is a huge f*ck up.

The season is pretty bad so far in comparison with previous seasons, I even forgot there's a new episode today (would never happen last season). Slow paced, boring, Leanne's paranoia is really really tiring, and Dorothy is so annoying and useless I really wish she would die after that fall. 🥲

There were things on HBO that were way more shocking/disturbing than this "kiss", but the HBO desperately needs people to watch this, so they will hype it to death (no pun intended). Episode 2 is also a disappointment, although the mushroom-people are beautifully done. Is "Hannibal" an inspiration for TLoU art directors?

It's like "Red Shoe Diary" for Zoomers. Completely pointless but nice too look at. Before this and Euphoria I had no idea that the only two thing high school & college kids do are parties and the sexual intercourse 24/7.

After bing watching this I just have one question, didn't forensic experts see that Macy (or whatever Lucy's roommate name is) wasn't in the driver's seat during the impact? And because she didn't use the belt the trauma would be different from one that a belted person in a driver's seat would have. If police had performed autopsy on her, it would be quite clear and at some point they would find out that she was moved from the passenger's seat to the driver's seat by someone. Then fingerprints would come in play etc. But in general it's so unbelievable and trashy, it's amazing.
