I get it, I do apologize. I just didn't want you to think I'd actually blown the whole thing open for you and make you not want to see it anymore.
It is definitely intriguing, sorry for being absent minded

Just finished up Evil Genius. Overall pretty meh, but it's pretty remarkable how inept both the local PD and FBI were regarding this case. Also hello exploding head.

I did finally finish Wild Wild Country and that was some woolly shit. I loved the total ambiguity they were able to maintain with all of the key players.

Finally finished Arrested Development season 5 first half. It got better over time. Still no where near as good as the older seasons. The characters still have a degree of charm.
Legion season 2 was even more bizarre than the first season. Still oddly compelling. Finale was expected, which is a good thing bc they had to veer towards the source material more closely. Can't wait for season 3.
About 5 episodes into Billions. Really enjoying it. Also started Brooklyn nine nine. Pretty good.

i finally got around to the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel over the weekend and finished it tonight. i liked it a lot.
i expected it to maybe get a little further in the first season, but then read that it was 2 seasons from the get-go, so i guess that makes sense.

Also hello exploding head. i had somehow never heard about this case and i overall enjoyed the show. thought it was well done and helped shed a light on a (sorta) cold case. but yeah everything about the last 30 minutes or so made it seem like more could've been done during the initial investigation rather easily and just never was. which seems to be case in a lot of these stories unfortunately.

Evil Genius was one that I think could've had a stronger narrative voice but its also crazy that those 3 were able to plan that

The story was obviously fascinating for the reasons you both referenced, but the narration was awful and they kept trying to drive home the narrative that the two main players were geniuses and couldn't really showcase that with the footage available. I have no doubt that they were really good at manipulating people and were probably very intelligent, but then all they had is an interview with some rambled shouting and the guy saying something in French.

After finishing the 2nd season of Queer Eye, I have to say Bobby is a miracle worker.

A big issue with this just seems to be how few people knew them. They were both basically living exclusively off large inheritances and had little contact with the outside world. Both of their "best friends" were pretty far removed from them and few else probably wanted to get on tape. Everyone else was in some way or the other implicated in all of this. I would've liked alot more about the science of all of it vs keeping the information a mystery but I guess thats not what people come for with these (similar issue with Wild Wild Country)

The Handmaid's Tale is super pertinent this week. Such a crazy synchronicity with this week's events. Best show.

omg i love leo from queer eye ep 3 He's so pure, and it was a good palate cleanser after all of the romcom stuff from the episode before. We are totally buying one of the pasta machines from the end of the episode when we get enough amazon points for it. He looked sooooooo much better with the short hair too.

I also don't perform well in front of a camera.
(there's a different brand on amazon with better reviews)

i did think it's funny that they were like, here is a man who lazily eats reheated bar food every day. i know, let's.....encourage him to make fresh pasta every morning and then cook it up for the family at night! quite a bit more effort lol

It's significantly less work intensive with the machine but it was kinda funny. They seemed interested in coming up with a healthy option and then were like "nah fuck it let's have him make pasta for every meal". Would you have tried the stir fry Antoni made in the beginning?

I would have considered a bite out of pure curiosity, but I also primarily fill my body with garbage.

I'm confused by the amount of people raving about Queer Eye. I remember the original show being not that great.
