UNReal - Lifetime TV show

money

kind of a weird tone for this ep/season but i'm willing to go with them on this journey. MRA chet vs dana is very promising though, i gotta say

just feels like they got more audacious

well they're as morally degenerate as ever so i guess i'm in for season 2

I watched the 4 streaming episodes of this last year they used to jumpstart viewership, but never went back to see the rest. Gonna have to, I guess, if so many people I know/like are this into it.

do it do it

Yeah, season one goes to some surprising places, not all of them dark (though most/many of them).

So, I saw the first 2 eps of this and I had to bail on it. I just couldnt deal. These people are all relentlessly horrible and should all die in a fire.

:D

It made me SO MAD! lol :(

Maybe they do all die in a fire and now you'll never know.

There's definitely a lot in common with a show like "You're the Worst," with horrible people still capable of nuance and our empathy. But yeah, it's dark.

This show has gone particularly crazy and crazy dark this season. It's also pretty uneven, but I'm not sure they can tell the story they're telling any other way. It's like it's built to be unstable and erratic.

this season is terribly written and everyone on it is exceedingly unpleasant

in a cartoonish way. it feels like the creator's extended tantrum at the network

Yeah, I can't get a bead on it, tbh.

every episode brings a fresh 'hey they went there'

it's pretty good stuff really

i agree w/ the critics that the most recent one was hamfisted and not well thought out. but at least they're true to raising the w-t-f quotient every ep.

I found it interesting that the episode was apparently written 6 months ago!

Jesus I couldnt stand the unrepentant terribleness of the first SHOW, how can s2 be even worse!?

:D

as silly as this show gets, shiri appleby's ability to tell us when rachel's manipulating ppl through her acting w/o "telling" the other character is one of the most remarkable things about this show. latest episode, when (SPOILER)coleman shows the phone hack & she says she's scared & hugs him(/SPOILER) reminds you jsut how awesome and scary she is

I don't really know why I'm continuing to watch this show. I haven't seen the latest episode (avoiding spoilers, ty ^), but the previous one ate my psyche and I still don't think I've recovered. It stands to reason that the writers of this show are just as irredeemable as the characters they've created. At the same time, I find Rachel loathsomely relatable.

Did you read the New Yorker profile of Sarah Gertrude Shapiro? You might not be totally off base on multiple fronts.

Haha wow! That's an uncanny read, ty. I actually feel a lot of catharsis from reading it and understanding her driving motivations and ready to move onto the last episode...All that super meta network/studio interference stuff is fascinating.

um this SHOW

Jumped ship halfway through second season. I assume new season started?

underway! i've really never had an issue with any of the episodes as crazy as they have gotten. i'm super into the Quinn and Rachel's relationship and they're both such dynamic actors.

they do go a little heavy on Shiri's makeup though damn.

i've barely seen this show beyond early stuff, though i have deep opinions on the IRL people involved...but that's not for writing down on the internet.

now thats some shit i deffo want to hear

Make a 77 thread and dish plz

oh it's barely enough to make a thread...i'll have to consult my Comey-esque journals from the era and see if there's anything worth talking about.

yes plz

season 4 (the final one, eight episodes) just landed on hulu

onar where’s my tell-all expose :(

omar, even

There’s a 77 thread where I answer questions iirc... 🤫

ty

i thought s3 was a marked improvement on s2, but i dunno...

best part was the marissa nadler song at the end

We loved the first season, tuned out halfway through the second (police shooting?) and never gave a shit enough to tune back in, including the third season, which I'm not sure my wife even knows existed.

VG if you have any specific q’s I can maybe answer them either on the my 77 thread or via pvt msg, depending on how specific and naming names they are...

roger that <3

OK I just got into S1 on an airplane. This show has probably more omg moments per episode than Breaking Bad. SO MUCH happens in each ep! It's fucking insane! I finish an ep and I feel like I've just seen, like two movies

The reality star is SO PERFECT. EVERYONE is perfect. The casting is MIRACULOUS. This really is my favourite show. I was talking to Nick Quah (!) and he told me he's not as into a couple of the later seasons but dammit I will ride so hard for this show I don't care

<3

that first season is incredible

it's basically 100% perfect tv. still haven't gone in on season 2, not sure I'm emotionally prepared

I quit a few episodes into season 2 can’t remember why tho.
