hearing it's not zeitgeisty has me intrigued, I'm generally only interested in stuff that doesn't fit in with current conceptions of tone or genre (see also Lodge 49)

Is that show any good? The commercials really put me off it

It honestly might be my favorite thing I've seen all year; I haven't seen the ads but I can see how it would be a tough sell. You'll know within the first half-hour if it's your bag or not, I would think.

I couldn't really deal with this, too sad-sack

Thanks for the Lodge 49 tip, Simon! Just watched the first episode and really enjoyed it. I'll definitely get round to watching this Gondry thing, but was looking for something a bit spacier this evening.

watched the first episode and thought this was horseshit tbh

a lot of prestige tv is stars and successful producers/directors making mediocre tv with high production values. this is a case in point

I disagree (on it being horseshit). there are parts of this series that are very deeply emotional and quite bleak. Glad to see it was renewed.

Finished watching the first season and I think it's fantastic tbh, especially compared with current 'prestige' tv. Whenever you think it's leaning too hard into sentiment there's some dark twist. Keener (and everyone else) is really good in it.
Aside from being on Showtime, I find it weird that I've never heard anyone mention this show, ever.

I never watched the second season of this, but the first one was good; I simply forgot about it though.

I liked it too, but I think the Carrey fans would be disappointed that it's not "zany Jim Carrey" and the drama fans might stay away because it stars "zany Jim Carrey."

It's almost certainly the most I've ever liked him in anything.

Ok now I'm extremely miffed, because as of yesterday this is no longer streaming on Showtime, even though it's a Showtime show (and I only have a few episodes left of season 2). Apparently a ton of their shows are now gone due to the Paramount+ merger, wonder if it's temporary or forever.
