Anyone watch See on Apple TV? I'm about 5 episodes in. It's probably a stupid thing to get hung up on but do they ever explain how these people eat? Seems like food supply would be a huge problem with the world they created.

I can't recall the timeline of the first season, but as the series progresses, you get more 'civilized' societies.

How the **** do people keep breaking into his private quarters? Like, who's on security detail here lol.

Yeah I gut laughed when they first showed the grey-haired wookie. I'll still watch because my wife is into it.

Right on. As I was saying probably a dumb thing to get hung up on considering everything else in this show. I think I just watch too many wilderness survival shows so my brain kicks into 'its really hard to survive off the land' mode.

This show won't be winning any awards for writing or acting buts it's been entertaining enough to keep watching.

Yeah, I find appealing enough to watch when I am surfing on my tablet. I wouldn't say I watch it closely, but I enjoy it just enough to keep going with it.

I’m watching Boba Fett because I’m still at the point where I’ll watch all live action Star Wars, but it’s not good. I don’t mind the corny bikers and stuff like that, I just don’t think they’ve really established a reason this show exists. Boba is dull and his motivation is muddy. I guess he wants to be a friendly crime lord? And he likes animals now? Why am I watching?

Are they trolling us? Why is you know who so fun, while Boba is so lame?

Boomer Boba. Maybe he got his groove back after his healing chamber stint.

What the hell was the final season of Search Party?

The new Aziz Ansari set on Netflix is pretty great commentary.

Funny couple minutes on Rodgers, and a great Ice Cube bit.

I haven't watched the whole half season of Ozark yet, but have found myself saying to the TV, "What are you DOING?" more than I remember in prior seasons. Characters with guilty consciences self-destructing or sloppy writing?

This isn't a show that's "logical" you just have to enjoy the ride. I just rewatched S1E1 a couple of hours ago and it's been this way since the beginning.

This show just hits all the sweet spots for me. Have already burnt through the first half and can't wait to see how they finish it off.
Julia Garner continues to own every scene as Ruth.

I've watched 3 of the 7 and will likely finish this weekend. Good cast, I've enjoyed it a lot. I wish they had just released all 14.

Finished all 7. Crazy. I enjoy shows that are over the top. Not believable at all, just fun. Yeah Julia Garner is great.

Glad you guys enjoyed it. Personally, I wasn't really impressed. I'm at the opposite end of the over-the-top spectrum. I know that's what shows like this are, and I can appreciate that I need to suspend disbelief, but man........

I have one episode left, I can imagine it's going to be a doozy.

And another unpopular opinion: Ruth is annoying.

The Righteous Gemstones is probably the best comedy on TV right now. Also, any Sci-Fi buffs been watching Foundation? I think it's a flawed yet satisfying adaptation. Stellar cast and some of the best visual effects you'll see outside of film, but some clunky pacing and action sequences keep it from being truly excellent.

Righteous Gemstones is the show I look forward to the most each week right now. Hilarious but also with some Coen brothers-like crime elements.

The After Party on Apple is fun. I usually don’t mind an episode a week, but with the differing-perspectives concept I’d love to be able to binge it.

I've been binging A24 films lately. Finished with The Lighthouse, The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Lamb recently. I love this weird stuff :lol:

I so so so want to enjoy this show. Two episodes in and I like, how did they miss on this? When am I going to laugh?

Premise is great, cast is great, storyline is great, but for some reason I am getting like one laugh an episode and the last one was a pee scene which was almost an Adam Sandler knock off of the longest pee. This show should be more, so far, less than the sum of its parts.

I told my wife that Wendy Byrde is actually the worst person on this entire show, biggest villain. She didn't believe me, but going through this season, yeah, Wendy is proving me right.

Ruth is annoying, that is correct.
