Oh god I couldn't even say. Every episode has so many highlights! Baby, the refs' dinner, the 'designed' scaffolding... The visual poetry is amongst some of the best I've ever seen. Really hope he gets to make more. :)

it's renewed for the second season and was pretty rapturously critically reviewed; i think he gets to do this for awhile.

That's not really my scene (I'm 41) (forksclovetofu), Monday, 22 February 2021 21:56 (three years ago) link

Hooray! Next for catch-up viewing: I May Destroy You.

Started Dead to Me on my sister/brother-in-law's recommendation, not realizing at the time it placed here. First two episodes, so-so.

Oh god...don't know if I'm ready. Currently watching It's a Sin and I can barely handle it.

Mariners and Dead To Me both very much on my ballot. Speaking of which, hang on...

I've started watching History of the Mariners. The bit early on where they say "who cares, baseball is boring" got me laughing out loud. So did the team's brilliant scheme of resizing the batter's box.

Just finished HTWJW myself. Ah man. Incredible

cough cough where are you watching it?

kinder, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 14:25 (three years ago) link

i can think of 'one two three' places you can see 'movies'

imago, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 14:29 (three years ago) link

The finale murdered me but I think the refs' dinner is the Oscar pick sequence

Glad everyone is loving HTWJW. I watched it just after voting and it definitely would have been very high on my ballot otherwise. The background shots throughout are just wonderful and the celebrity cameo in the first episode was amazing, especially as it's not even referenced and I was left wondering whether he even realised until later who it was

cough cough where are you watching it?

It's coming to Sky Atlantic in the not too distant future

We cough coughed the first episode to check it out, and it really was quite something. I'm not sure the husband will be into it. He does not like uncomfortable comedy.

We also found ourselves watching twenty minutes of Congo last night on Film 4 just because they talked about it in The Dress Up Gang.

three months pass...

I was doing a mental inventory last night of all the shows where I'm waiting for new seasons:

Better Call Saul - first on most lists, I suspect.
Big Little Lies - think there's another one on the way.
Atlanta - caught up in time.
Ozark - one more, then call it a day, please.
Stranger Things - I'll watch because I'm come this far; not excited.
Killing Eve - ditto.
True Detective and Homecoming - in development, I believe.
Dead to Me and Flack - indifferent, but I'd continue.

You all are the best for alerting me to the existence of the Dress-Up Gang. I am not much of a comedy watcher nowadays but I could watch 10 seasons of that show and hope somehow they can produce more of it (I know it was a minor miracle the show even aired)

Also, I May Destroy You was as good as 10 #1 votes suggests

Thanks to ILX for getting me to watch Giri/Haji, which was fucking amazing!
