Shakespeare is like Ken's strongest category. Why would they put that up?

I'm two episodes into Fleabag...why do people like this show?
 
Re: TV: A Succession of Watchmen in The Good Place

Man, PBS' Frontline show America's Great Divide: From Obama to Trump is excellent. I only watched Part 1, but I'm looking forward to finishing it.

I don't know either. Just because a show isn't mainstream doesn't make it worth watching. I made it through 3 episodes.

Perhaps it’s different taste? I don’t know how anyone can stand sitting through 90% of comic book movies.

I’ve got a lot of acquaintances who love the show, you two are first I’ve heard. I think phoebe is brilliant whether it’s this show or killing eve

The only thing I can think of is it switches the gender rolls. Other than that my guess is cause of it is British and the main character breaks the Fourth Wall.

It doesn't seem that original, it isn't funny and none of the characters are likable or interesting. I am being girlfriended into watching so I hope it gets better.

It’s not groundbreaking, it’s just great.

Makes you squirm and laugh.

It does? I haven't laughed once and this show is nothing compared to HBO or Showtime shows on the squirm factor. Is it cause she is a woman talking about disgusting stuff cause I hear way worse from a lot of women I know ;)

Seems ok to me. I'm not laughing out loud but it's funny enough and different enough that it's worth watching.

I like British humor often enough, but like you I didn't find it that amusing. Didn't hate it. Just "meh".

Re: TV: A Succession of Watchmen in The Good Place

I'm so glad you guys started this conversation. I'm three episodes in as well and I don't see what all the fuss is about. PWB is great at acceptance speeches. Between the Emmys, Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards I thought - wow, I need to start watching this. I guess I was just so annoyed at Fleabag beating out Schitt's Creek for Best Comedy, it's reflecting on how I'm thinking of Fleabag. When does Hot Priest show up? Season 2?
 
Re: TV: A Succession of Watchmen in The Good Place

I can’t believe schitts creek doesn’t get more love.

Hot priest is 2. I enjoyed 2 more than 1.
 
Re: TV: A Succession of Watchmen in The Good Place

Schitt's Creek is maybe the best comedy to come out in the past 5 years. Dan Levy is a genius!
