it was ok
― marcos, Monday, 22 January 2018 21:11 (six years ago) link
about as good as some of the other episodes last season. it does suffer a little from having to fill the time slot imo
balloon moment was a little too feel-good we-are-all-in-this-together
― marcos, Monday, 22 January 2018 21:12 (six years ago) link
last ep was heavy handed

liked keyboard lady returning

second half felt like the web series again. idk maybe because they rehashed the plot line w/ the mouse more or less
― marcos, Monday, 29 January 2018 20:27 (six years ago) link
i liked that they had suburban boomers at the center of a storyline (in theory more than practice, unfortch)
― gr8080, Monday, 29 January 2018 20:33 (six years ago) link
last ep was solid - drug dealer woes about multiple visits to the same person in one day were OTM as well

Show feels more and more like Slacker with every passing ep, which is a welcome feeling to me.

balloon moment = coke ad
― 龜, Sunday, 4 February 2018 03:13 (six years ago) link
i didn't have any problem w that scene, it felt authentic...life in the city and on the subway includes these occasional nice moments

last one was really good!
― marcos, Monday, 12 February 2018 21:12 (six years ago) link
was super happy to see Machine on there

yeah this was good
― kolakube (Ross), Monday, 12 February 2018 22:15 (six years ago) link
dude's friendship with the guy in this ep was great
― kolakube (Ross), Monday, 12 February 2018 22:28 (six years ago) link
baruch's dancing style was inspirational
― mh, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 00:49 (six years ago) link
i think he gave that chick a drink he found in the men's room, ew
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Tuesday, 13 February 2018 00:52 (six years ago) link
lol yes, I was thinking how bad that was, but dude's broke and uh... yeah I'll ignore that happened
― mh, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 00:54 (six years ago) link
show is transforming in to something kind of new and different
i still don't like it as much as the best web series eps, but i still like it
― gr8080, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 17:54 (six years ago) link
they did a great job of capturing the tedious yet anxious dread of sitting in the ER triage area
― mh, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 17:57 (six years ago) link
they really did
― marcos, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 17:58 (six years ago) link
yeah i liked the last episode a lot, best of season so far imo

does anyone else worry w/that IV drip of painkillers? like the way he refused it at first...i wonder if he has a history?
I think it was more that he figured he'd just vape up discreetly, but that ended up actually ramping up his anxiety. Peeling up the bandage to take a peek sure didn't help.
― mh, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 19:44 (six years ago) link
tbh opioids freak me out, the addictive potential is scray
― marcos, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 19:47 (six years ago) link
*scary
I think the potential's there, it's mostly chronic pain management where you get in trouble
I've been prescribed them three times (wisdom tooth removal, abscess surgery, broken wrist) and never felt the need to continue after my prescription ran out because the pain was gone or manageable. the first two were vicodin and the last was percocet, though, and wow there's a difference. hospital would probably just be a morphine drip
― mh, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 19:51 (six years ago) link
appreciated how he was goofy as heck on the combination, it was well-acted
― mh, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 19:52 (six years ago) link
Beruch episode might be my all time fave
― kolakube (Ross), Friday, 23 February 2018 20:29 (six years ago) link
yea agreed it's one of the best ones
― marcos, Friday, 23 February 2018 22:24 (six years ago) link
nice use of weyes blood in the last one (w drugdealer)
― kolakube (Ross), Saturday, 24 February 2018 01:35 (six years ago) link
i think this season is better than all the others
― marcos, Tuesday, 27 February 2018 15:06 (six years ago) link
lol i've been watching this on showtime since it started and had no idea it was a web series before, totally missed this thread for 4 years .

this last episode was greati had some unfortunately shrooms experiences in college, one involved being at the mall while my roommate and her friend from high school went shopping at the gapanyway it captured some of the terror of being on shrooms in the wrong environment

i liked when he said "you get to see inside the apartments, that's the best part" bc i think i would agree, w/ this show in general i like the very real glimpses into other folks' lives & spaces
― marcos, Tuesday, 27 February 2018 18:29 (six years ago) link
i grinned so big at that line and his delivery of it
― gr8080, Tuesday, 27 February 2018 18:36 (six years ago) link
if we stuck with his stand-in the show would be... stoners in cars buying weed
― mh, Tuesday, 27 February 2018 18:36 (six years ago) link
also lol @ "janky clown" setup
― gr8080, Tuesday, 27 February 2018 18:37 (six years ago) link
That was great, also I was losing it at the fountain scene & the end slo-mo dancing it front of it.

"What happened?"
"People didn't want these clothes anymore?"

Also appreciated the nod to their audience being mostly people with their parents' HBO Go passwords. Like me. My mother-in-law recently cancelled her cable but HBO Go is still mysteriously working, although I assume it will stop any day now.
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 18:17 (six years ago) link
for some reason I didn't even register the irony at the time, even though I was watching the episode on HBO Go!
― mh, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 19:04 (six years ago) link
My favourite show on television, hard to find something else which feels so relevant atm
― kolakube (Ross), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 21:37 (six years ago) link
I like how organic things seem. A lot of shows trying to catch the same vibe try too hard to cram in references to lifestyle trends or add drama and HM just seems like ~lyfe~
― mh, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 21:51 (six years ago) link
absolutely, mh.
wtf was with his ex stealing his pens and being a general fiend? made me wonder if pot co-dependency was a crutch in their relationship

sometimes this show gives me #fomo
― marcos, Wednesday, 7 March 2018 20:41 (six years ago) link
Last episode was golden. Definite tear recipe
― kolakube (Ross), Tuesday, 13 March 2018 03:22 (six years ago) link
when the last EP started it felt like a black mirror redux
― tinnitus the night (Ross), Saturday, 17 March 2018 16:11 (six years ago) link
this season was really good, i think it maybe fell off slightly after some of the peaks mid-season but all in all i thought it was way better than the vimeo subscriptions series and the first hbo season
― marcos, Tuesday, 27 March 2018 18:36 (six years ago) link
captured that open-ended relaxed festiveness of eclipse day 2017 really well
