Severance is awesome. Buuuut it probably should have just been a miniseries because it feels like just one more episode would have told a complete story. Still highly recommended. It starts out okay. The final three episodes are some of the best TV I致e ever watched.

It was written as a single season. Ben stiller convinced the writer to scrap his idea for a tidy ending and leave the season on a huge cliffhanger. There's an interview where the show creator gave it all 'i really wasn't sure about the idea but he eventually won me over'

I loved it so much but I was genuinely mad at the ending. It's one thing to keep story threads going at the end of a season but that was just not showing us the last episode so they had time to write new threads. If they gently caress up season 2 they'll retroactively ruin the first too.


And ted lasso sucks because everyone is so nice to each other. I like Brett Goldstein, but his new show shrinking is much better. People are nice to each other in that - but also flawed and complex.

Ben Stiller is a huge rear end in a top hat for thinking that.

I swear I've been hearing about Ted Lasso from loving everywhere the past few couple weeks. I know the show has been going on for a couple years, but now no one can shut up about it even though the last season was bad (?).

It's literally the only mainstream tv show that has new episodes airing at the moment. Every other watercooler type show has either finished its run or wont get season for another year.

just watch clips of the sopranos on youtube if you absolutely need your prestige tv fix

i cannot imagine a more aggressively boring premise for a tv show than "american football coach moves to london to coach a soccer team"

i mean jesus loving christ. goons bitched and moaned about anime people playing minecraft to the point where any display of appreciation for them in gbs gets an immediate "wtf" response and yet this dead on arrival, pre-calcified pile of dogshit has had three threads made about it in the last month

what is wrong with your brains where you heard about this thing and didn't immediately yeet it from your consciousness

The tears of time
People say it's the nicest show on television, but the characters always felt fake-nice to me. In S1 at least everyone on the show had to fit in the role of either a naughty child betraying an authority figure's trust or a wise and tolerant parent-figure (even if the characters are the same age) who generously forgives them. Everyone's on someone else's moral leash. It wasn't as feel-good or funny as The Good Place or Schitt's Creek. I don't know even where the idea that they don't make nice comedies any more came from. When people talk about how "wholesome" Ted Lasso is I feel like they're just talking about how protestant it is.

Edit: even the Ted/Rebecca intro was annoying to me. Pushing unasked for homemade cookies on someone, insisting over their objections, and acting like you're doing them a favor. It just feels like a dickhead's idea of what nice people would act like.

the final episode have all the soccer players dancing and singing "goodbye farewell" for him and honestly I'm not sure I hated anything on tv more. It was absurdly pandering, like it was just begging for people to call it wholesome and heartwarming on social media.

Still contemplating why I didn't register here under a clever pseudonym

The only Apple show I've actually enjoyed so far is High Desert with Patricia Arquette, who plays a burnout living in the Southern California desert. Rupert Friend also plays a TV news anchor turned hippie guru who abandoned his career live on-air, and Bernadette Peters the Broadway singer has a great supporting role as a former actress who gets roped into burnout lady's schemes. It reminds me of Weeds, without being so dependent on cliffhangers, or perhaps if somebody had gone through with the utterly terrible idea of making a Big Lebowski TV series. BUT it's probably not good enough to be worth an Apple subscription all on its own.

Also, why does every TV show have a billion producers these days? Half the people in this show's credits are producers, I think I counted like 16 separate producer credits in the opening for the lovely Star Trek Picard show, etc.
