Is there a thread for Documentary Now?

I just started watching this after years of going "eh I think I will hate this"; I'm in season 3 now and I think it's overall one of the funniest shows I've ever watched

Oh yeah. I think I dropped it after season 2 and then picked it back up after it was completed and on netflix. It's really great. That one song "The Best Part is Going Home" (after seeing a band) has been a huge help in making me feel better about not going to shows anymore.

otm about Nance and Peter. Oddly I skip all the gender switch couple bits. I think Carrie's voice freaks me out too much.

Watched part of the 30 ROCK infomercial for NBCUniversal. More of their Dig Our Privileged World cut-rate comedy. I want to see a PORTLANDIA reunion deal with that city's police state a la Haskell Wexler's MEDIUM COOL.

My assumption is that Dr Morbius follows exactly three people on Twitter: 1) Dennis Perrin, 2) Doug Henwood, and 3) Alex Pareene.

i'm tempted to say even the worst episodes of 30 rock are funnier than dennis perrin but in all fairness the weather app on my phone is also funnier than dennis perrin

Portlandia already did a "let's take over the police department" skit and it was ridiculous and sort of bad, mostly because it existed in the extremely White sphere of "cops just answer our noise complaints, right" and ended up taking the cops' side. (On the plus side, the uniforms Fred and Carrie created to make the police more relatable to the community were pretty funny, as was the fashion show where they presented them to an increasingly incredulous chief of police.)
Most of the times that the show involves police officers, they're seen as largely benign government agents patiently dealing with increasingly ridiculous White/White-passing people, which glosses over the problems endemic to the modern police force. It's still usually funny, thought; the skit I reference above was an outlier.
