Please just try to provide fair warning of spoilers if you can.
Not sure if we have any other fans on the site, but did anyone else here on Tildes watch RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 6? I thought it was the best season of the show in a LONG time, and I'm very happy for the winner.
Only Murders in the Building (Hulu) stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez... and it is okay. I think it might be better as a binge, since the pace is slow.
Its like Steve Martin and John Hoffman watched Bored to Death or read Bored to Death: A Noir-otic Story and decided to do it without sex or drugs... Only Murders is an overall tone that Bored to Death nails.
I'll keep watching, though.
It's nice to see that Archer is back. It doesn't have the same feel as the original few seasons, but I love it.
What We Do in the Shadows and A.P. Bio return on Thursday.
We finished up most of what we were watching, and haven't found much that's new.
Ted Lasso is clipping along. Ted's starting to realize that life may not be as upbeat as he thinks it is.
We also noticed that Grace and Frankie had a new season. It's only 4 episodes long, though. It's all over the place. I mean it's in its 7th or 8th season, and while it's still kind of funny, I think they're running out of ideas. And the season was so short they didn't really get to explore any of them in any depth, anyway.
The end of the fourth episode of Grace and Frankie took me by surprise, so I looked up what's going on with production. Apparently there are more episodes to this season, they just haven't been released yet. I wasn't able to find out why, but also I didn't go digging very far. This will be the final season.
I agree about the material. When they started in on the "Bud's penis has eczema" joke, I thought they had reached the bottom of the barrel.
Ah, interesting. I assumed they did fewer episodes because of COVID restrictions. Well, if it's the final season, I'll stick it out until the end just to see how it wraps up, but I'm not expecting anything great.
So I've been watching The Chi and it has really changes during the course of 4 season. Some might argue that it suffers from the popular acute wokeness often injected in a lot of recent movies/shows but I actually think they mostly make it fit in and have made the transition quiet well. I'm really impressed by the dialog and how they manage to incorporate the often missing nuance in them in shows and movies. It's not conflict/misunderstanding driven in the way that every time there is an argument or something leading up to a misunderstanding they manage to present both sides in a somewhat favorable light. Also the camera work is great and the music/score is amazing. That's coming from someone who almost never listen to rap/hiphop. It just fits.
It all might be a fantasy and a bit unrealistic but I love how someone made a convincing black drama with positive role models of all types that's able to talk about things so the choices they make and actions the take are at least based on a solid foundation and not just plot lines.
