Was a little wary of Silicon Valley after last season, but I just watched the 3 new episodes, and they're good. There are a few truly laugh out loud lines (mostly from Jared), and a couple of interesting plotlines. Hopefully, they'll focus on that and not fall back again on Richard screwing everything up.

Agreed! The new HBO dark-comedy Barry is pretty good in its first few episodes too. Bill Hader's performance reminds me of Allison Brie in GLOW, kind of sublimating their natural humor for something more introspective. Henry Winkler is there too, doing his thing.

I really have to catch up. I got so busy in the middle of last season I didn't finish it so I have to finish off Season 4 and then start on this season. Jared is the best lol.

The first episodes of this season all have 5* Jared moments and lines. Episode one, and you'll know it when you hear it, will have you laughing out loud with the pizza comment.

We weren't allowed to eat pizza in my house because my stepmother didn't consider Italians to be real white people.

Also, Stephen Root! Doing good work as always.

But for me, the real scene-stealer through a handful of episodes is the quirky Chechen gangster NoHo Hank:

It's definitely an acquired taste (like the raw seal meat in the show), but I've actually gotten into The Terror. There's some interesting work as to the human politics that go along with being lost in the middle of nowhere for a really extended period of time.

I've finally decided to get into This Is Us. It is tearing my heart out one hour at a time. Jesus.....this is a tough show to watch. It's hitting just a little too close to home on a whole bunch of counts.

The Terror was fucking awesome, I just finished it tonight. It goes so many places that chickenshit networks don’t go, while leaving out the shock value of the HBO/Showtime series. There are so many layers of darkness that they weren’t afraid to explore, nor did they need to redeem at the end. Add in big picture themes like colonialism and the environment, and it’s fantastic. It’s what the Walking Dead could have been.
