Television

Watched all of that Amazon show Undone today. Wasn't planning on going through it so quickly, but it's a very short season with short episodes and the way it unfolds just makes you keep wanting to watch. The main criticism I had of the show (which I won't say here) was put to bed by the end. So, yeah, pretty great little season of TV. But I truly don't think it needs another season. Just leaving some stories alone can be good choices too.

Edit: oh also I am not really a fan of this animation style, so sometimes it bugged me. But when they really did some weird and interesting things, it totally worked.
 
I'm currently watching Big Little Lies season 2 with my wife. Since we live in Monterey, it's funny to see all the places we can recognize (one scene happened on the road near my house that I take every day). But it's also funny because the geography is all off, and characters drive over scenic bridges 45 minutes out of town to drive somewhere ten minutes away.

Just saw this after my above post, and just wanted to agree that i hope it's only the one season.
 
Happy 25th Anniversary to Friends.

The complete Series appears to be priced at $29.99 on the iTunes store for purchase (From within the app only). The web page shows $139, but when you open it on your phone or from the iTunes application it prices it at $29.99



Edit: The web link now shows the sale price and there is a banner on the iTunes store advertising the sale.

This is actually really quite an amazing deal. I just picked it up.

I'm not proud of this, but, I watch the trainwreck that is Big Brother every Summer. Tonight was the season 21 finale, and it was one of the most awkwardly satisfying endings to one of these types of shows you can imagine. Coming back from a commercial break, they announce the winner of the $500,000. Just before that break, however, they dragged the finalist who ultimately won for some of his words and actions in the house. Stuff that some of the houseguests (and viewers) felt was offensive (sexist and racist stuff). So the guy is declared the winner, and he looks like he is going to puke. No smiles, and absolutely no joy for winning half a million dollars. I actually thought he might just stay in the Big Brother house instead of coming out to the set out front. In terms of gameplay, the guy played a helluva game of Big Brother. That said, it was rather satisfying seeing his big moment dashed. But damn, it was super awkward.

People online are pissed about the way he was treated but I think he deserved it. He was the worst... Played a good game but I'm glad they called him out on his behavior.

Most of what I've seen online has been people that were happy it all went down the way it did. He clearly had absolutely no idea how his words and entitlement were translating to people inside or outside the house. Which is why I agree that it was great they called him out on it. Despite being a comp beast, and a very strategic game player, he's going go go down as one of the least popular winners ever. I almost didn't watch the finale because I knew how things were probably going to go, but that figurative knee to Jackson's nuts was worth tuning in for.

I get why they have to wait until after the jury has voted to bring in the pre-jury folks, but that entire segment was terrifically cringey. Watching Nick fumble through his response to cheating on Bella with Kat was, chef's kiss. And I didn't even like Bella. Really glad Nicole won AFP.
 
Ah, The Gang are back and all is right with the world again.
Meat cubes, yodelling, dead kids and knee deep in Viennese gash.
This show is so wrong but it still kills me. I never thought it'd make 14 seasons but I'm so happy it has.
 
Any American Horror Story fans left? This new season is pretty interesting given the last season's efforts to bring together several of the previous seasons characters and plotlines. It's playing on every trope of the 80s slasher movie imaginable, the Fridays, Maniac, Rosemary's Killer/Prowler, Halloween, Just Before Dawn. Two episodes in and it's really feels different to the rest of the series, even down to the credits being different. The only minor connection I've picked up on so far is the inclusion of Richard Ramirez but even he's played by a different actor from the Cortez season. Fans of the Stranger Things nostalgia trip may enjoy this. @LeeVing - judging by some of your What's Spinnings, if you aren't a regular viewer, I think you might appreciate this season.
