Lizzy Caplan and Joshua Jackson: ‘Fatal Attraction’ Series Might Not Kill Bunny Due to Changing ‘Social Mores’
busy tv time.
got hung up mid season of season 2 of the white lotus. always irksome when a wife finds a condom in husbands room but it isnt his but she thinks it is which is where i turned it off. hopefully that will resolve itself sooner than later.
succession is full steam ahead to the finish. all caught up on that. same with season 2 of yellowjackets which stumbled out of the gate. im all in but its a slow burn.
still never finished season 3 of barry as it got dark and depressing but season 4 which is end game started so figure to get to that at some point.
never made it through ep 1 of poker face nor season 2 of russian doll. dark times for natasha lyonne.
ted lasso is ending its three season run. was almost out on it but up to date on it so far.
mrs maisel is back for its final season. not enthusiastic about it but will get sucked in at some point.
two eps in to beef. curious where its headed but not diving in headlong.
new shows this week i havent sampled:
what did i end up watching yesterday?

good, but kind of a slog and takes a pound of flesh in the process. On Apple TV.

the post-apocalyptic hbo show, the last of us, is heading into its final ep next sunday soon to be followed by the recently announced final season of succession. i thought station eleven was a little more interesting but it wasnt a zombie apocalypse so its playing a different game. (did i already write this post?) still, theyve managed to turn a video game, literally, into a compelling drama. whats weird is that people are excited.... ill wait.... that they "went there" meaning reproducing favorite scenes from the video game instead of just using it as fodder to build a completely different story. i guess it is renown for the quality of its story and not just for mashing monsters. anyway, its weird (again) that the actors are being judged on how well they embody a video game character. what im say is people are invested not quite to the level of a marvel character but when they show screen grabs of the game side by side with the tv show, its more than a little.
spoiler alert - the monsters are the other survivors. also, the monsters are the monsters but i guess that is only so compelling after a while unless its, like, a video game or something.
Bored to death.
