For sure.

 

This also could work

 

TIL that Liza Colon-Zayas who plays Tina, is married to the guy that played detective Angel Batista in Dexter.

 

yeah i pulled up her wiki when watching the karaoke scene and noticed that

 

ooh actually now i want it to be abby

 

I'm two episodes in. How long did it take for this show to hook you in?

 

when wilco hit in episode 1

 

Immediately

 

The second I heard the New Noise guitar riff.

 

i watched season one without ever getting off the couch

and almost did the same thing with season two

 

the music is too good

the clothing is too good

it’s just a perfect show

 

I went to listen to New Noise while going to pick up food earlier and for some reason on Apple Music it says it came out in 1976 and I’m not super familiar with Refused so I was like “holy shit they made THIS in the 70s???”

 

Is there a reason for the giant, super prominent digital clocks in every other shot other than “every second counts”?

 

authenticity

 

god that pequods looked so fucking good

 

The Richie episode is incredible who the hell said they wouldn’t eat that deep dish

 

I would eat it. The presentation just looked like trash though just sayin. Looked like some bougie half assed bagel bites.

 

it is

 

On my second watch I caught the line where Marcus said he had a brother and a certain guest casting possibility entered my mind. I mean would they?

 

be for real

 

One other thing I liked this season (except for 6) is that it kept the episodes short and sweet and tight, and avoided the bloat that a lot of prestige shows get. The stories told in each episode, were kept to just the right amount for me. I think giving more episodes, rather than stuffing them, tends to create a more fulfilling experience. I don't know when and why we started trending towards 8 episodes. I feel like it was 12-13, then 10, and now 8. Amazon seems to have a hard rule now about not going over 8 episodes which is pushing us back towards what made cable so much worse than 'premium cable'. Just trust your show runners about how much time they need to tell the story, and let the producers reel them in if they get over indulgent, but this short mandated season is going to sink a lot of shows (cough wheel of time cough).

TLDR - short episode shows that are successful because they're short and sweet, should stay that way, and longer seasons over more stuffed episodes!

 

This season was fantastic, even better than the first. That ending, with Carmy trapped in the fridge, locked away and unable to see his own success and self-destructing as a result was just devastating.

 

Wasn't it to let you know how much time was left in service?

 

they are featured in every episode in different places
