Anybody else watching this on Apple TV+? 4 episodes released so far and I’m enjoying it.

Ive been watching, but I don't have anything to say about it.

I'm 50/50, it presents intriguing possibility, but it hasn't actually paid any of it off yet.

Could pay off handsomely, could sputter out like LOST.

I like Adam Scott so I might check it out some time in the future.

We got 3 pretty good years out of Lost though and this one’s only 4 episodes in. It could do a lot worse.

Spoiler!

I referenced LOST so people would know the dynamic I'm referring to.

I'm not talking about 10 years of prime-time programming, here. I'm talking about a show that has introduced a lot of intrigue and mystery, but the verdict is still out on resolution and payoff.

I anticipate we'll have a clearer picture sooner than later.

I think it looks really interesting. Plan on checking it out soon. But with so many options right now, I'm not starting a series until all episodes are out. My wife and I sometimes get to binging, and I'd rather finish something up before moving to a new show.

I like that Netflix doesn't drag you along. When a series is out, it's out. The rest of the streaming services seem to think they need to release an episode per week to keep their subscribers paying.

It depends on the show, but I generally prefer the week to week model. When I binge a show, I generally don’t retain as much from it and it’s less impactful. I rather enjoy the theorizing and anticipation that come from having to wait a week for the next episode.

Things heated up a shit ton this week, and I gotta say . . . It's not everyday that a long-established and well-known music standard is completely recontextualized by how perfectly it's used in a new piece of creativity. But they pulled that off splendidly as well this episode, not to spoil with specifics . . . [actually, to a minor extent, TWO well-known standards, though the second was more just a great use, than a re-contextualization].

And holy shit the closing moment!!

Oh man, my interest is piqued. I can’t flip it on until about 10 tonight (not really a show for the kiddos), but your post has me looking forward to it.

What did Tig Notaro ever do to you?

Love this show. Was really surprised to see that Ben Stiller directed the first three episodes. Definitely some Kubric Vibes. Watched the first seven shows so far. Little bits of Lost and Westworld and Black Mirror.

Ben did the most recent one too. Absolutely fantastic episode.

Really sucks they casted him as the main guy. It's so hard looking at his stupid face sometimes. But... the writing and acting were strong enough to overcome that obstacle.

Worth a watch IMO.
