It will be like that at first, turn on subtitles and go with it for the first season. They don't spell things out all at once, it's full immersion into essentially a living world with multiple grey area factions all doing the right thing from their POV, it will all make sense as it goes. They just throw you in with very little hand-holding or exposition at first, which you'll come to appreciate.
I wish more movies/series would do this.
I binged season 2 yesterday (it’s only 3 hours). I thought it was excellent and much better than season 1. For much the reason you said - its a lot more interesting to watch her struggle with potential self improvement. I thought season 2 was great. And because it’s only 3 hours, makes season 1 worth watching.
Here's what I'll say about characters like this: most of us hide our pain. Most of us pretend we're happy when we aren't. The lead character in Fleabag is revealing the contempt that a lot of people are feeling under the surface.whoknew said:
the lead.. I can't tell if she's weirdly attractive, just weird, or just attractive. all three.
Yes.the lead.. I can't tell if she's weirdly attractive, just weird, or just attractive. all three.
hearing Kids reminds me I saw mid90s, Jonah Hill's thing. not sure what to make of that one... some nostalgia, some unflinching looks at desperate kids, I guess decently done. didn't feel like I really came away with much more though.
The entire premise is baffling. Roasting someone dressed up as an historical character while that person "reacts" like the script tells them to is beyond dumb. Seems like an idea that some guys come up while high but should have been killed the moment they tried to make it into something real.
Saw that too. Didn’t really have an ending. (Partial Spoiler) Not sure why the driver was in the room at the end?
It’s not something I thought I’d ever hear myself say, but Shia Lebeouf was cast perfectly. Pretty interesting concept as most of the actors used weren’t pros, and I dug the ‘wandering road’ aspect to it. But it was a 2 hour move stretched to close to 3 hours.
I don’t know. It’s truly one of the dumbest concepts I’ve ever heard of. I find ross funny too.
we watched this last night. didn't turn my crank the way it did for andy. seemed a bit straight forward, heavy-handed and obvious to me... but it did tell the story well, I guess, and not a bad watch. I'd give it a 6- not bad, not terribly memorable, slightly above average... which I think translates to somewhere around a 9 for andy, IIRC.
I like Jeffrey Ross and the celebrity roasts he hosts but the trailer was terrible and agree the concept doesn't even sound good.
About 18 months later I'm watching this right now and can't pound on the "endorse" button hard enough. This is awesome, especially since I only barely knew this show existed. I didn't know Dana Carvey got so subversive. This show was just ahead of its time.
Oakland Nights was just amazing. Almost every line.
I hadn't visited the thread in a couple weeks and I assumed I'd just be reading a couple pages about this. Sterling K Brown in a Sia wig lip-syncing about/wearing silk robes and kimonos was the funniest thing I've seen this year. Which means "tell the maitre'd at your booty to expect me; I'm solo and I'm flexing but don't try to Soloflex me" held that crown for about 15 seconds.
Yeah my wife and I enjoyed this one a lot. Plenty of laughs but dud think it slowed down after the cameo.
My wife watched season one when it was only on Starz and I caught that one really gross episode. It made Game of Thrones look like Dora the Explorer.
Traitors was cool.
