I like Rose Byrne but could not finish the first episode of her collaboration with Seth Rogan (Platonic). Painfully awkward.

Episode 5 of Silo was alright. I am very curious to know what is behind that door that Common character came out of. Like what really is going on it that room. Gives off clandestine vibes, like the Common character works for judicial, but something tells me that he really working for another group that 99% of the Silo don't know about or heard of and that they are the ones who are truly running the Silo, but let judicial act like they are running it. Kind of like he is a double agent and knows the truth about everything.

Finished "From" season 1 (Paramount + in Canada) a couple months ago. LOVED it.
I'm now caught up on Season 2 and I can already see the "Lost" fingerprints all over it.
They had a great idea, then didn't know how to keep it going.
This season has been a slog to get thru. Each episode has felt like filler while last season, every episode was gold.
Also, the writing is just terrible. There are multiple characters who have discovered some pretty big things about where they are yet they fail to share this info with anyone.
IRL, I have to think all these people, for the most part, are pulling on the same rope and would be quick to discuss what they found.

Spoiler

Julie falls through the ground under her home and Victor is suddenly there? And Victor knew that's where the creatues sleep?
Why didn't she tell anyone about this? Why didn't she question Victor on how he knew this and why he was under there?

Boyd finds a lighthouse, then he's in a chimney where he climbs and finds a guy chained to the wall for who knows how long? Or how about the discovery of the transporting trees
Maybe tell the community about this?
Anyone? Anyone? Nope.

Jim hears a voice on the radio but waits 4 episodes before he tells anyone?

This is just lazy writing and gives the series a very after-school ABC production.
I was very skeptical to start this series because the Lost people were involved.
But Season 1 was fantastic and Harold Parrineau (Michael - Lost) even said in an interview that he had no interest in doing another project with them if it was going to turn out like Lost did. But they assured him it would not, and yet here we are.
I really hope this series rebounds from this point because Season 1 was so strong. I'd hate to abandon this when they started with something so good.

We have so greatly enjoyed this final Ted Lasso season. Each episode was extended in length that has allowed nice development in the ultimate closure of this story. I wish it could go on beyond 3 seasons but its end will be quite appropriate.

Well? Any reactions to the Succession and Barry series finales?

Never watched Barry. I thought Succession on the whole was a good show not great. A few of the characters and the actors who played them where meh. Decent overall just not outstanding.

Succession crushed it, probably leapfrogged Mad Men as my second favorite drama. I feel like I need to binge the entire season of Barry to feel the ending the way I need to, but I liked it.

Thought the Succession episode overall had some scene that dragged on for too long, but the ending was good.

Yea I’ve never ranked succession up with my favorite all time shows but I’ve always liked it.

I thought they ended it really well though. Most of the main characters got an ending that made sense for them

Barry and Succession being done leaves a big hole that's not going to be filled for a long while.

2 amazing shows.

With Succession

Spoiler

I don't know why I expected the "happily-ever after' ending. That final reminder that Kendall was responsible for a young man's death without consequence, Roman showing a glimpse of his satisfaction with no one getting the company if he couldn't, and Shiv proving that she had moxy but turned to goo when involved with family business was their destiny of not succeeding their father. I was so furious with Shiv's last second turn, but it was typical of the rollercoaster dysfunction. At one point, the siblings were united and I expected that's how they were going to rise and prove their worth of succession, especially after Shiv learned she was being pushed out by Matsson. But, Logan Roy got the final victory in maintaining his legacy, at least that's how I see it.


Don't really have words to explain Barry's end. Throughout the seasons, each episode was darkly humorous but had that tinge of deep dark. This final season was all deep dark with very little tinge of humor.

Barry is so messed up that his humanness never became evident to me and I thought that was the major failing of the show (screw all the accolades).He was just too crazed for me to care about as a character. His love of Sally Reed didn't move the needle for me one iota, and the time jump to Sally inexplicably joining him to be miserable was all out dreary. Cousineau joined the ranks of unsympathetic characters by caving to his narcissism when he thinks Mark Wahlberg wants to play "Good Barry". Throw in Sally Reed who throws her mentor under the bus to save her own accomplice hide.

The scene with a dying emotional Hank at Cristobal's statue was actually very moving.

Some great acting in this series.

I thought the lack of "humanness" was what made the show so great. Barry was a killer and irredeemable. His own delusion about it was the most realistic thing about him. You don't get to the point he was at in his life and job and change.

I thought the Barry finale was so great. Hader is an incredible director. I loved the whole show, can't wait to go through it again. It definitely got darker the last 2 seasons, but there were still some great comedic moments. Barry getting in and out of his car with all the guns cracked me up.

Every time I hear this show Barry, it reminds me of the VHS from Meijer I got as a kid
