I really liked this and had no real expectation to. Yeah, it's kind of Ted Lasso-lite, but that's not a bad aspiration. I have a real affection for the cast, especially Drew Tarver and Scott McCarthur, who I knew best from The Other Two and The Mick. I was kind of shocked by how good Chet Hanks was. Sure, he's kind of playing himself, but still. I love Max Greenfield, he's so charming (when he's not stuck on a terrible show like The Neighborhood) and I was so happy he finally walked away, at least temporarily, from Isla. And then for her to beg him to come back but then mack on the hot coach in the next scene...yeah, stay away Schmidt. The cameos and recurring roles are also fun. Justin Theroux plays a hot douchebag almost better than anyone, it's always fun to see Jon Glaser, who will always be Laird and/or Jeremy Jamm to me, and Macaulay Culkin screaming for Billie Eilish made me laugh. I binged the whole show in one afternoon, and really enjoyed it. I'll hope for a second season.

Inaccurate. I paid, and it was my fave of the year. I was really happy Mikey won. I knew her first from the TV show Better Things and I think she's very good. And Anora is not porn. Come on people. She did kind of look like Patricia Arquette. Meg Ryan directed and starred in a little movie called What Happens Later, with David Duchovny, in 2023. It didn't get the greatest reviews but I really liked it, probably largely cuz of my enduring Fox Mulder crush. I don't know, I think she looks fine. I think she DID look not great a few years back, when she did something to her face, but I think it's mellowed. Maybe I've just seen her enuf to be used to it. She was also in a SuperBowl Commercial with Billy C this year.

I love OMITB but I was really pulling for Shrinking. I'm happy for Demi's journey, but I still think Mikey Madison should be winning for best actress. David D and Gillian A are still beautiful and funny.

Yes, the tv show became full of homoerotic subtext, which was very beguiling, but not like the book or movies, for sure

Or my personal fave Hannibal and Will...(tho I never ever want Gabi and Sir to engage in this sort of dynamic)

He's a great actor with a lot of charisma and talent, or anyway, a lot of us think so. I knew him before Justified, but that's the show, and the role, Boyd Crowder, that sealed the deal for me. He handles comedy and tragedy with equal finesse, and he can play villain or hero or leading man (or woman, see Sons of Anarchy) or crazy Uncle Baby Billy (Righteous Gemstones) or noseless ghoul (Fallout) or pretty much anything that's asked of him. I think he's brilliant. But if he isn't your thing...then he's not.

I thought it was kind of a leap to assume that whoever had taken the toy train from the house was a family friend or acquaintance. With the ease that Sir comes and goes into everyone's houses, I'd have just assumed that the kidnapper got in for some reason, whether to find that toy or something else, not that I knew them. So Jamie is really Jamie? He got his mole lasered off at age 10? But he doesn't remember other fundamental things? I know Margaret wants to take it easy on him, but him not answering ANYthing about what happened to him is weird. I don't want Sir to die. They're going to have to figure out something else to do with him than just sit in a prison cell to keep this interesting, but MPG is one of the reasons I watch the show.

It's obvious, I think, that that's how the other two see it, and that Carrie C (don't remember her name on the show yet) believes it, even tho she's obviously just as pretty as they are. Nothing really wrong with her hair, but it's not super flattering or styled. I thought all of this was meant to be obvious. I don't love it either but I'm guessing it's meant to be killingly stylish and cost a fortune. But I'm no expert. I have hippie hair and color it at home myself.

Watching the rich, creepy family from North Carolina, I just kept thinking of Michael Peterson and The Staircase...probably because Patrick Schwarzenegger and Parker Posey were both in that miniseries too. Patrick played a handsome, disturbed son in that too, tho his character here is definitely different. He plays douchebag well here. I hate him. Well, you kind of hate most people on White Lotus, just in general. Greg! Ugh. I could have lived without seeing him ever again, though if he gets his just desserts, then it will be worth it. Why a young beauty like Charlotte would be with him is baffling, unless he did get all of Tonya's fortune at her death. I would still not be surprised to see Jennifer C show back up in flashbacks with either Greg or Belinda, but maybe not. I have no idea what Rick's deal is...is he a hitman? Someone with a score to settle? He seems absolutely uninterested in Chelsea, in fact he seems to kind of hate her, though she's delightful and sunny and positive. Which is maybe WHY he hates her, but why is he with her? Whatever, it's Walton Goggins, who still manages to bring a louche sartorial sort of glamour to his Hawaiian shirts and cargo pants and perpetual cigarette, and is never not fun to watch. I'm interested in the 3 dysfunctional friends, who I'm not sure actually even like one another, and clearly Carrie C is supposed to be the ugly duckling of the group,which: sure. But her hair is kinda bad. That hotel is STUNNING. Looks like it'd set you back around 10 grand, or more, for a few days there. I hope Belinda makes it out alive.

Manny didn't lie and he's not a bad guy, from what I can see. He gave Ava the heads up that they were getting a chunk of change, and then the board got mad because they felt played by Ava into giving the other schools stuff.

When I saw that the clue to save Oz was Marco Polo, I immediately said "Is there a pool here? Find the pool." I know that the game isn't always played in water, but it's where my mind immediately went. I'm not shipping Morgan and Karadec either, and hope they don't go there, but they probably will. I thought it was sort of funny, tho predictable, that everyone at the gala was dressed in dark shades (not that that's a bad thing, wearing black is my jam, and Daphne's dark blue velvet gown was gorgeous, as is she) and Morgan comes in blinding hot pink. But she looked great.

As soon as Billy said to send the biggest MF-er to kill him, I knew it was gonna be teeny little Jane, but I was still devastated. I honestly think they made a big mistake killing him off, because the actor --Jon Beavers--is really fantastic. Maybe, this being a Dan Fogelman show, they'll find a way to have him still be a regular in flashbacks or something, like James Marsden also is. I had to pause the opening scenes with the dog and look up to make sure that poor kid didn't really shoot him. When I read he killed his uncle instead of his pooch, I was like "Ok, I can watch that just fine." Poor Billy. What a terrible life he had.

He's crazy good looking. I squealed when I saw him, because I knew James Roday Rodriguez had directed the episode. I loved that. And I love that he'll be back, cuz even if he's playing a psycho, he's so pretty to look at.

I don't remember the commercials for Todd...I am a casual Skyler Astin fan and he's why I watched: I also like Marcia Gay Harden. It WAS silly fluff, but I think HP is as well. I like Kathy Bates but not enough to care about watching Matlock, apparently. And I tried with Elspeth (I'd never seen the character on the other shows) but I also found it silly fluff that for whatever reason didn't compel me to watch anymore. I do appreciate that the leads are women, tho. At any rate, I do like this show. Fluff is fine. I started watching it because I'm an Always Sunny and a Scrubs fan, and I think it's fun enough to stick with. Also seeing KO's outfits each week is a bonus.

Oh yeah, I forgot, I was very happy to see Taran Killam back, I was afraid he'd been phased out. Ludo is so sweet. I hope he's not actually sick or something.
