TV 20 - Sorry no fancy title

[Kepler]

When the show had run out of ideas they were increasingly leaning into Scully's Troubled Faith, and that led to some of this silliness.

Speaking of running out of ideas, my god Ted Lasso 2 is cringe. We bailed about 80% of the way through the first episode. It was worse -- far worse -- than the final season of the first show, and that is a low bar.

Jesus you guys, don't push your money up your nose next time or whyever you wound up hawking this shite.

On the good side, we saw the pilot episode of Monsters: Lizzie Borden and it was excellent.

Widow's Bay. Pilot was good; cast is certainly strong. We'll see. It helps to have seen a lot of haunted sea town mysteries/horror movies, like The Fog, Jaws, or my favorite, Messiah of Evil (if your kids want to understand the 70s, just have them watch this movie). It nails the aesthetic while also being good satire.

Oh, and we finished the first season of the Ricky Gervais show Alley Cats. A weird, wonderful little show of just six 18-minute episodes. Dr. Mrs. & I loved it.

Do you think it's a comedy though?

Do you think it's a comedy though?

Yeah. It's having fun with the genre while also following it. At least more of a comedy than The Bear.

Do you think it's a comedy though?

Yes; for once the humor is intentional.

While destroying tropes. Those were my favorite parts.
