South Side on Comedy Central is so good and all of the commercials for everything else on the network look so bad but definitely watch South Side so they at least give it a second season before they cancel it for a full 4 hour block of David Spade and Trevor Noah present a nightly tribute to making fascism fun again.

I had an hour to kill today at Lolla so I sat in a marginally air-conditioned tent and watched the first episode of HBO's The Righteous Gemstones. I had no idea what it was about or who was in it before sitting down and the first episode definitely made me want to watch more. It's written by Danny McBride and has him in addition to John Goodman and about a half dozen other recognizable people. They did a great job of setting up about 4-5 different stories. Definitely worth giving a shot.

I thought that wasn't out for a couple more weeks. Looks interesting, and it has a solid cast.

I finished Fleabag. Very good, though the rest of s2 was sort of a victim of how good the first ep was

God help me I've started watching Family Guy again. I gave up on this show after it came back from the dead, but out of curiosity I checked out the 17th(!) season to see if it still sucked. I laughed out loud a few times, and it seems to be less ridden with 'how far can we push this' kinds of gags, which just weren't funny. Some of the episodes still aren't good - I've bailed on a few before the end - but I'll keep watching for now.

season finale for Years & Years was weird. Can't say I enjoyed it, but it definitely went in an unexpected way.

Atlanta was renewed for a fourth season, they're going to film seasons 3 and 4 back to back and each will be 8 episodes.

Finished Euphoria. pretty incredible overall. It took a bit to get started but Zendaya does an excellent job in it. Interested to see where it goes next season. HBO knows how to make these visceral dramas hit their mark.

Was it common knowledge that season 2 of succession starts Sunday? I just saw that.
Very excited for the return of Cousin Greg.

Really? I couldn't even finish this season. I think I stopped watching after episode 6 or 7, is it worth picking back up?

It totally does. The middle of this season was so infuriatingly sluggish that we nearly gave up but the last 3 eps have been excellent.

Okay I'll give it another shot. Maybe I'll binge what I've missed this weekend.

The new Rocko's Modern Life special was great. Recommended if you watched the show back in the day.

Nice start to season 2 of Succession. They transitioned well from the end of last season and set the plotline for this season up nicely. Oh and that dry dark humor that made S1 so great is still as present as ever. Happy to have this one back.

I hated that finale, but the second half of the season was entertaining.

So my wife wanted to introduce our daughter to Mister Roger's Neighborhood, and we started with the first season because we're lazy and just hit play when it popped up on Amazon Prime. Anyway, the early episodes are all black and white and very quaint - there's production issues left and right, and some of the actors have clearly never been on camera before and do not know where to look or how not to say their lines like they're on speed.
On that note, we get to the 4th episode, and this woman randomly arrives at Mister Roger's house with three children. They start singing the Thumbkin song - it's a very terrible song where you sing about your fingers. Generally people skip the middle finger or do something so you're not saying "fuck you" to children, but they did not do that. Mister Rogers giving the double middle finger to children and the kids mimicking him made me laugh way more than it should have.

I finished Stranger Things, thought it was ok. Really into this glass blowing competition show on Netflix tho.

In a rare not sarcastic post that definitely sounds like one, how does it capture the thrill of live glass blowing? I’m a big fan of that experience

Lots of sweaty people and breaking glass! But really it's just cool to see the creativity of the contestants and all of the techniques they try.

When I was a kid we went to the Corning Museum of Glass in NY and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. If I was artistically inclined in any capacity I would have genuinely considered doing that for a living.

I need more weird Netflix reality shows like that. Is there anything out there people can recommend that live up to like, Instant Hotel type levels?
Gonna check out this glassblowing show for sure.
