Hm maybe I don't understand Internet media economics (probably true) but I paid $4 for a latte today and it gave me less pleasure than one ep of this show, so my own personal math (dubious but it's mine) says $8 is a steal

I've just watched the first 13 episodes (all except the three new ones), and man, this show is great. First two "seasons" were amusing and well-observed, but there's an incredible poignancy to some of the later episodes that takes the show to another level. "Rachel" kind of destroyed me.

genghis is a great ep btw, you guys are crazy
― deej loaf (D-40), Thursday, 20 November 2014 21:53 (nine years ago) link
it may play of a cliche subject but it does it in a totally fresh & very real way
i would rank
genghis > ruth > geiger
i thought geiger was kind of funny but im not sure the end delivered on the build-up
― deej loaf (D-40), Thursday, 20 November 2014 21:54 (nine years ago) link
ruth > ghengis > geiger for me. Geiger wasn't just heavy, it was a bit wooden too.
― ljubljana, Thursday, 20 November 2014 22:32 (nine years ago) link
feel like a major strength of this show is its very real and human characters and the main dude in geiger was definitely very wooden. was more of a bland caricature than anybody else on this show so far
― marcos, Thursday, 20 November 2014 23:10 (nine years ago) link
also d-40 what was fresh about the way genghis dealt with the school setting? i mean "take out your pencils" "i don't have a pencil" or "i need to go to the bathroom" "you just went to the bathroom" or "are you gay or something" or "okay latisha" "WHAT my name is KEISHA" are literally lines that are said in all these fucking tough classroom scenes!
― marcos, Thursday, 20 November 2014 23:15 (nine years ago) link
Those are things that happen in every high school classroom
The main difference is I've never seen someone claim to be a proud asexual in that context and then fail to bond with the students
The end of it is completely different

god the people in "dinah" are so chicago. i feel like i worked with the annoying poofy haired dude at a call center.

oh yea the dinah episode struck me as very very really, i know all those folks

and just the way the polyamorous girl said "that's TOTALLY valid" in response to a question about polyamory was just really perfect

finishing up watching all of them, plus watching the new ones
didn't realize how many episodes asexual dude is in!
― valleys of your mind (mh), Friday, 19 December 2014 14:47 (nine years ago) link
sorry, I mean the asexual magician
― valleys of your mind (mh), Friday, 19 December 2014 14:52 (nine years ago) link
mh what did you think about the new ones
― marcos, Friday, 19 December 2014 14:58 (nine years ago) link
Geiger reminded me of the Qasim one, only instead of it having a goofy reveal about one man's bizarre mission to organize his life it was just depressing. I was seriously getting anxious watching it, not because I'm afraid I'm not prepped for a doomsday, but because dude just seemed really consumed.
asexual magician seems like a cool guy, but the episode just made me feel for all my friends in teaching. I think his appearance on the seder episode is still my fave
Ruth is awesome and The Guy as matchmaker was kind of a stretch but seeing two really likeable characters find some measure of happiness made my day brighter.

from the title fade-in of geiger to 6min mark is prob better than this entire new michael mann hacker movie

― marcos, Thursday, 5 February 2015 16:57 (nine years ago) link
i agree that vimeo's experient might not be the best but if you think of $8 as entry fee to all 19 episodes its a bargain at $0.42 per episode

Sufjan, Esme and Sabrina - back to previous heights.
Ruth, Geiger, Genghis had me worried (especially Genghis).
― the gabhal cabal (Bob Six), Thursday, 5 February 2015 22:01 (nine years ago) link
sabrina was pretty great, even if the way it bucked the established format sorta rubbed me the wrong way, (not to mention giving me a near panic attack)
sufjan was a good setup but kinda took too long to deliver (heh no pun intended) dude's shirt game has me jealous.
esme was fantastic

dude i've been waiting fifteen fucking years for a ferret ok i don't care what the fuck you think

Ruth >> Sabrina > Esme >> Sufjan >>>> Genghis >>>>>> Geiger
― gr8080, Friday, 6 February 2015 01:56 (nine years ago) link
Where is Esme working at the beginning of that episode? Is it supposed to be a hostess bar or similar?
― the gabhal cabal (Bob Six), Friday, 6 February 2015 08:17 (nine years ago) link
Also:
didn't really expect this show to have me thinkin bout gender issues

that's "the asshole" running the weedspot, isn't it?
― the plight of y0landa (forksclovetofu), Friday, 6 February 2015 08:23 (nine years ago) link
it's the headquarters for the all-female weed delivery service she works for
don't think so

yea otm, ruth was pretty good but yea the first three of s2 had me a little worried too. geiger was really bad
― marcos, Friday, 6 February 2015 20:33 (nine years ago) link
i didn't think geiger was bad, but it was in the same style as qasim, which is an outlier from the general tone that isn't as enjoyable to me
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 6 February 2015 20:47 (nine years ago) link
yeah but where Qasim slowly spun a beautifully complex riddle, holding out on the (hilarious and horrifying) answer until the bitter end, Geiger just kind of plopped down a hacky premise at the top and kicked it around until it abruptly ran out of steam
nb i watched Geiger again and i like it now, its just def in my lower-tier HM episodes
