How To with John Wilson

The third episode (with the giant pumpkins) was a welcome relief, it's always a respite from grossness when he gets out of the city, lol.

I've just caught up with s2 after getting over my toilet risotto hissy fit described upthread. too many highlights to detail but the avatar fan club/support group was incredible (and not punching down as suggested above). s3 not on bbc yet.

I've only seen the first two s3 eps so far, but I'm really enjoying it.

It gets better every episode this season

one thing i cant shake is how john wilson kinda looks like terry richardson :(

pleased to have confirmed my suspicions, based on his accent, that Bruce Beveridge is originally from the Chicago area (he used to live in the suburb where my mom now lives)

Last episode was a bit Baby's First F For Fake but still good. Very strong season in general.

Attempts to watch the very gross first two episodes of the new season during during dinner have been unsuccessful.

second episode isn't very gross after the first 2 minutes

crazy how utterly unappealing this show makes NYC look sometimes. that episode was neat because it then shows a place which is basically the polar opposite of NYC and hey, that looks pretty unappealing too. but it all speaks to the wide variety of bullshit people can learn to live with and there's something beautiful in that. also a good example of how funny this show can be, particularly when he's interviewing those basement ravers with the kid and the kid is just constantly banging on shit the entire time

The silo bit reminded me of the crazier Grand Designs episodes, where you get the sense that the family dream home the husband is building is being inflicted on said family, rather than a shared desire.

NYC is faithfully represented here, but the difference is that usually those ugly details are not lingered on especially in a show.

what an end

3rd episode was a trip, love the ones that explore what doors having an HBO show will and won't open. scene with the party girls was pretty funny - "come on, you're not from HBO, this isn't gonna be on TV..."

was a bit bummed that they never caught the camera thief at the cat show, I guess the fact that the show doesn't always have perfect endings makes it real

UK ppl this is on bbc2/iPlayer right now
at least I think it is, I've not started watching it yet, saving it for a treat

S3 on bbc now. Ep 2 (how to clean your ears) is simply phenomenal. How do people offer themselves up like that? The loud music couple in the basement, jfc.
