This is nuuuuuuuuuuts. I was somehow unfamiliar with all of this. Finished this last night. It was a compelling story, but slipped a bit in the last episode. It focused a bit too much on the "where are they now" aspect and lost a lot of the momentum they had built. None of the sides came out of this looking good, so it didn't need a weird redemption story arc for the main sannyasin interviewees. Still kind of nuts I was unfamiliar with all of this considering the amount of national coverage it received. I guess it slipped out of view because... ...no one actually died as the result of this conflict. I did laugh when it was mentioned that a Christian youth organization had purchased the abandoned town. "It's still a cult, but they treat us better." lol

Yes! He literally gets a laugh every time he’s on camera. That Bitmoji from the newest episode had me in tears Mrs. Doso sent me a "Bullet delivered" w/ confetti text this afternoon for absolutely no reason at all, lol.

I finally watched ep 1 and fell asleep during ep 2, so I'm a bit behind. Still love what they are doing with that show. Update: I have now fallen asleep 3 times while watching episode 2 of Legion, tying my record set during one of the Stranger Things eps of season 1. We'll see if I break the record tonight!

That happens to me a lot with that show for some reason. And it's a great show! I don't get it. I pretty much only watch it right when I get home from work for that reason, instead of post dinner.

I still haven’t finished season 1 because I fall asleep like, mid afternoon every time I try to watch it. What the fuck is it with this show

My best guess is the show is so bizarre, it feels like you're watching a dream half of the time. So your body just says "fuck it" and goes to sleep.

That makes the most sense. I should give season one another shot. I liked a lot of what I saw but really only watched the first couple episodes.

Watched the two new Handmaid's Tale episodes last night ... the second episode with the scene at the airport was devastating. Found that whole second episode really sad on the whole with all the LGBT themes in it.

Found that whole second episode really sad on the whole with all the LGBT themes in it. Just finished both of these and agree. Completely devastating. On the plus side, usually I think the music chosen has been questionable, but the ending of episode two had I'm Clean Now by Grouper and it was very fitting. Great show, but very sad indeed.

Are any of you watching Here and Now? I can't tell if it's good but Alan Ball.

The ending from this week's episode of Barry was bonkers. Was a little bummed to learn there are only two episodes left in this first season.

I finally finished the Crown. After a whole season of goddamn Philip is such a fucking piece of shit it's to the actor's credit that he was able to bring some nuance to the character in the final episodes.

Cool about the remix, tho for season 5 I'm wondering if they'll write out Jeffrey Tambor.

Just finished it. Best episode of the season so far. So gripping. This show continues to amaze.

Watching Billions halfway thru season 2 and the scene with Paul Giamatti eating a giant pastrami sandwich and cheese fries with a sad smirk with Johnny Cash "Legend In My Time" playing is my whole aesthetic

Do you recommend it? I've been tempted after seeing the promos leading in to Homeland, but never taken the plunge.
