I blamed the Backup Singers for not being able to harmonize her off-pitch singing and make it sound better. Didn't they practice.
I saw an interview with Winslet about that singing scene. She was terrified to sing so she practiced endlessly. However, when it came time to shoot the scene she said the director told her to be bad, not polished (I am paraphrasing). So, she did the scene like any non-singer could do. I thought it played very well.

Clearly the producers knew that they were only getting 2 seasons given the ending and how it brought the storyline to the present.
It was a fun 2 seasons and brought back many memories from that era of the NBA.

Was anyone actually around for the Lakers/Celtics in the 80s? I'm wondering if this is resonating with anyone else like it is for me.
For sure. I have been following the NBA since the late 60s. While most of us weren't privy to what was going on behind the scenes, the players and personalities depicted in the show seem pretty true to form. I am even impressed with how the actor playing Bird shoots the ball. It looks exactly like Bird's motion.

I am glad Joyce has been knocked down a notch. I think she was getting a bit to big in her own mind.
After a little bit of a slow start I am enjoying this season as much, if not more, than last.

I thought this was the best episode of season 7 so far.
Chuck and Wendy are on parallel journeys to look inside themselves. I wonder if these journeys will intersect...

What happened to the old district attorney of the southern district?
In prior seasons they would make some attempt to make it seem as though things happened over a normal course of time. Now they aren't even bothering to do that. They got the doctor to admit wrongdoing in 24 hours and the POTUS to appoint and assign Chuck immediately.
The show has some entertainment value but they are asking the viewers to believe anything.

After a slow start I thought this season was very good. I like that Sam has had to deal with ups and downs while sober. It could have been so easy for the writers to have her drink again. I am glad they avoided that.
Busy Phillips character is just too over the top. Some of the advice she gave Sam was good, but I would have preferred a more low key approach, like her first sponsor.
Carol always grew this season. I don’t love the character but at least she gained some self-awareness.

Very disappointed. Juliet was amazing as Della and Rhys was very good as Perry.

I don't see it as Shiv chose Tom over Kendall. Shiv chose Matsson over Kendall and the Roys.
While Tom is now CEO, he can easily be replaced since Matsson will effectively control the board. If Shiv had voted "nay", the Roys would not only have their CEO in place in Kendall, but also control the company.
Shiv did exactly what Logan was doing with the original GoJo deal. He had decided that if he was not going to run the company anymore neither were any of the family, namely the kids.
In the end, there was no "succession" and probably never was going to be.

Now Mattson is free to hollow out the rotten news division and fire Ravenshead (I hope!)
With Gerri on board, all will be well.
what happened to the Pierce deal? I don’t remember how that buyout was resolved.
And what was Roman’s comment about Kendall’s kids? I don’t recall it.
That they don’t have Roy DNA. One was adopted and the other was from Rava and the sperm donor.

I have been enjoying this show, but the fact that we are this late in the season and they are now at "maybe it is not Russia" is super annoying. Especially since several episodes have been all about drawing up plans to respond to Russia, some of which would have started World War III. And it was all based on one piece of information from a guy who died before he could give any actual evidence, from a country who didn't want to be blamed. Did no one bother to try and get any other evidence? Because all you apparently has to do was talk to the Russian ambassador. It all seems very stupid.
If we end up back at the point where the attack from the mercenary was backed by Iran I will be super annoyed.
That’s because this show isn’t really about the “who done it” part but about the relationships among all the players. I find that part much more interesting than the specifics about the attack. Each of the characters is navigating their way through personal and business relationships. I think the show is doing a great job with that.

This show truly relies heavily on the dynamic and chemistry between its 2 leads. Story wise, there’s nothing new & exciting about it. I hope this show stays true to its title and isn’t gonna be like When Harry Met Sally.🤞🏻
I like Rose Byrne but am (barely) tolerating Seth Rogen. Episode 1 and 2 are quite enjoyable. Episode 3 not so much.
Am glad they don’t make Charlie a jerk (for now). Please let him stays this way.
Agreed. Episode 3 was awful. Too many extended Rogen monologues about nothing and Byrne’s character doing stupid things that no normal person would do.

Aren't they friends from college?

I enjoyed the first 2 episodes. Byrne and Roger have very good chemistry. They clearly enjoyed working together in the Neighbors movies.
I am a little confused about Byrne’s accent on the show. She is definitely not hiding her Australian accent even though it is watered down. Given that their characters were friends from way back when, I don’t see when the character could have picked up an Australian accent. Just curious.

While I agree that Sam may be her own worst enemy, hearing that her 2 sisters hid the truth from her was a big blow to her. Even if Tricia was correct in assessing Sam’s inability to deal with bad news, I get why Sam would be so upset (even if she was upset with herself). On top of that, she has to hear personal news from the Chef waiter regarding Joel’s new found love. It was a lot for her to process in a short time period.
Hopefully with a little alone time she will be able to move forward and not cause more damage to her relationships.

The funeral portion of the episode did a great job of showcasing all four kids' feelings and connection with Logan.
Connor was fairly indifferent which was consistent with his lifelong detachment from his dad. Shiv was still looking for her dad's love of his only daughter and hoped it was there beneath his rough exterior. Roman finally fell apart realizing that daddy was gone and he was forever going to be on his own. His forever protector was no longer. Kendall's speech was supposed to be the counterpoint to his uncle's, but he couldn't help but emphasize some of the negative points. Yes, Logan built and empire was he was an awful human being and dad.
Snook's and Culkin's performances were the highlight of the episode.

I really like that this show is about more than just typical spy/espionage stuff. The personal relationships are getting a lot of screen time which adds to the quality. Kate's issue of living in her husband's shadow is very real and a struggle for her professionally and personally and she is honest about it. Everything in life is driven by people and their relationships. Too often these shows ignore that.

Same. I fast-forwarded through it. Why is it ok for a woman to physically assault a man? If the roles were reversed, there would be outrage.
On the other hand, I have zero issues with the swearing which I've seen several complaints about. Maybe since it sounds just like the way I speak. ;)
Who says it is ok? Shows depict life and those things happen. It isn’t ok to shoot someone but they show that in half the shows now.

That's a line that came directly from the show last night so I don't think it's a spoiler for future episodes.
Except, in the article the "I" was in italics which I took as the author of the article passing on some information.

The Vulture article was more enjoyable to read than the show was to watch.

I will be very happy if episode 10 jumps ahead to when the Roy kids are broke.

The spoiler word on the streets Jiminez wins and looks the Roys backed the wrong guy
That would mean that multiple states were called wrong since the Wisconsin situation could take weeks, if not more, to sort out and there are only 2 days left.
S01.E10: Episode 10
in One Day
Is it possible that Dexter did not understand the effect his news would have on Emma? He seemed to deliver the news with some trepidation but I don't know if it was because of his concern for Emma or that he himself was ashamed that he was getting married because a baby was on the way. I think it was the latter.
This is such an excellent show. I love the pace and how they are really trying to delve into the 2 main characters feelings about life and for each other. Unfortunately, it is taking Dexter so long to grow up.
