Right, we watched it through HBO Max and actually, by pure coincidence and luck on our end, started it about five minutes after it started airing anyway... but presumably that still doesn't get counted as live watch.

I thought it started at 10 ET (I was in Michigan on Sunday night), so I rewatched the last episode of S2 at 9, and then watched the S3 premiere at 10, at which point I discovered that it had already been available for an hour.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 16:41 (two years ago) link
turns out that 60% of viewers were watching on digital platforms - about 900,000, up from 300k for S2
still probably not enough of a turnaround for Max

happy to see Peter Reigert pop upâŚwho now looks likeâŚBilbo Baggins lol loved this ep - always down for Roy sibling timetheir individual decision trees are like crazy red string diagrams. i love seeing all the distrust, jealousy, ambition & childhood/family archetypes all converge and be so blended that you cant fully tell what anyoneâs true motivation isroman doing kendall AND shiv impersonations was gold and kendalls meltdown tantrums at the endis amazing how completely he truly is always, inevitably charlie brown & his whole family are always either collectively or separately lucy with the football.

Watching Kendall continually flame out is a little exhausting. But I liked the intimation that Roman of all of them actually kind of cares about the other ones. He's the only one with any real affection for all of them.

v disappointed in Kendall on this one. that letter was a gift if he'd swung instead of ducking.
― poster of sparks (rogermexico.), Monday, 1 November 2021 03:39 (two years ago) link
I really liked this third episode, triggered kendoll, back in da house, shiv's political ambitions thwarted, Roman being between a rock and hard place, oh! Gerri, sidelined by the trapped big bull logan, tom trying hard to heroically fall on the sword, for the family he wanted to be born into, so badly. Greg used really well here, I like him dropped into background conversations....about his thin wrists, lol

as an awkward, lanky man with thin wrists I related when he was really happy at being told his wrists were normal.

i once tried to stage an intervention for my parents when i was a teenager: this show is the only thing i hqve willingly participated in that has made feel the same levels of anxiety, discomfort, terror & unpleasantnessi have to engage my whole core not to leave the room 25 times per episodei love it so much
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 2 November 2021 00:30 (two years ago) link
i really love this episode!but i always like the insane pendulum swings w kendallhis full embarrassing hubris high after fucking up shivâs town hall, barging in & bro-ing with the show writer 15 minutes before the show cut tohiding in fetal position in the server room, like a little boy hiding from punishment but also like Logan & Shiv in this ep, as much as Kendall, the whole family have such terrible kneejerk instincts to hurt each other personally, but everything vengeful thing they do to each other takes another jenga piece of the whole structure down. steeples fingers: itâs truly ~fascinating~
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 2 November 2021 01:11 (two years ago) link
I didn't totally understand whether it was somehow kendall or whether it was disgruntled employees who set up the speakers at the town hall
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 2 November 2021 04:32 (two years ago) link
also i kind of loved how the host of "disruption" kind of sucked and was basically the resistance version of ATN
kendall sent his assistant the âshopping listâ to buy the speakers, the empty speaker boxes were in his officei dunno that he could get any employees onside in such a short window of time to help w thatit was totally kendalls own crew
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 2 November 2021 05:55 (two years ago) link
and yeah the disruption was as earnest & weighted w meaning as kendall himself which made it stupid & lame & funny rather than the cultural overthrow he was aiming for lolam surprised he didnt unfurl kendall-as-che banners from the ceiling

All I was thinking is server rooms are very loud and hot and that is probably not a comfortable environment in that corduroy bomber jacket.

I liked the good tweet, bad tweet game in the back of the limo, Kendall does slapped arse face so well, seeing him yo-yo between privileged mania and cold hard realisations that rock him into some past pain is powerful, I liked this episode way more than the first two, the characters felt more like themselves from previous seasons. That's said, Roman in mega awkward mode is more pronounced than ever, barely able to stop contorting himself, I loved the scene where he just walks out on a conversation, like he done that a million times where he's too insulated from the ennui of real interaction to ever have to stay put and deal with any conflict or uncomfortableness. His uncomfortableness around Logan and family drama being the only context he can't just flip the bird to or walk away from the responsibility, hence the agonising
― Swanswans, Tuesday, 2 November 2021 07:52 (two years ago) link
The actor who plays Kendall is so good that just the way he walks communicates the entirety of the character

That long corridor walk was a great piece of acting, no dialogue, just Kendall, deep in his head, the palpable inner dialogue of him coaching himself into the Kendell he wants to be versus the Kendell he actually is....insecure, unsure and barely holding thing together, it is a really good performance. Liked the Shiv and Logan talk as well, again, Shiv, wild behind the eyes with her own machinations and inner dialogue, seeing her own ambitions crumbling into the inescapable, immovable void, her stone cold father.a

I got a Full Frontal with Samantha Bee vibe from it, and Ziwe basically confirmed that:
How did they rewrite Sophie to better fit you?Initially it was more a Sam Bee-type, I think. They adjusted the character to be Sophie Iwobi. Thatâs a Nigerian name, so it was adjusted for my personality, but I really had nothing to do with the writing. I got the script, I memorized it, showed up the day of. I improvised things, but I havenât even seen the episode, so I canât even tell you what made it.

That scene actually did make me think "I wonder what the vibe is with just general mid-level employees at Waystar/Royco" but probably I would not actually enjoy it if the show went more this way.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 2 November 2021 14:16 (two years ago) link
that scene w Roman & Logan is so good. Culkins subtle movements are so tellin the way he lowers his head slightly, and without really doing much just somehow pulls himself ~inward~ âŚ.but even with his gaze lowered, heâs constantly watching Logan like heâs on high alert waiting for a stray backhand
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 2 November 2021 23:19 (two years ago) link
Romanâs deal will never been completely explicated but it feels less like a âwho hurt you?â situation â obviously, the answer is that everyone in his family is just constantly trying to wear each other down â but âwho never paid attention to you as a human, with needsâ which is also everyone
