Great idea. Loved The OA, properly wild stuff at times.

Kid drinks the seed smoothie and wakes up in Jason Isaacs’ basement perspex prison

Extremely cautious OA spoiler there.

feel like the whole Malfoy pina colada party scene was written and directed by robots who have no idea how humans behave

Wasn’t that kind of the point? She thought she was completely dependent on those drugs and yet when she stopped taking them she was…absolutely fine?

I agree she was more of a cartoon than a character though.

She’d be going through withdrawals if she took them regularly like it seemed to portray

Finally watched Zone of Interest last night and the tonal whiplash between the actor playing the Nazis officer being the mild-mannered hotel staff in the just-finished season of White Lotus was a lot!

They just liked him because he nicked a gun and dreamt about killing people with it

Quite right

The sketch is unbelievably unfunny, even for SNL. Impossible to watch that stuff without clenching your teeth.

anyone else finding it irritating how desperately they’re trying to keep this series going even though it’s finished? It’s done!!

Think I’ve noticed this a lot more with big tentpole streaming shows, a massive extra marketing push after the season is over. Severance was the same. I guess it’s to try to pull in new viewers to stave off a drop in subscriber numbers?

“Absolutely exquisite” - only 4/5 stars.

Not for the first time, the Guardian thinks it’s Pitchfork :joy:

@JD_Vance and he dies

Not the absolute best telly of all time - obviously - but haven’t enjoyed a TV show as much this decade. Mike White and most of the characters seem like complete bellends but it’s great addictive fun to watch sheer bawdy irreverence where you feel like you’re on the holiday of a lifetime, albeit with complete bellends, albeit in turn when their complete bellendery gets its comeuppance

Thank you for your time.

Finished this yesterday. Very much on the terrible finale train, nothing that happened in it felt even vaguely earned. Disappointing.
