Really?

Mind hunter is original TV and great.

Errol Morris and Wormwood! This is part of a very long series of work by Errol Morris and furthers his incredibly strong approach.

So Beth is a horse surgeon who deeply regrets that she never got to be a human surgeon.

In a show so much about timelnes, can't you see a possible sequence that would explain that?

  1. She is a young girl, loves animals
  2. Goes to veterinarian school
  3. Graduates, gets a job, does horsies
  4. Is not respected by her father, neighbors, husband
  5. Regret forms

Is there something that invalided this timeline?

Terrace House is a Japanese reality show kinda like early seasons of The Real World, it's a bunch of young people living in a house together and having relationships and stuff. What really sets it apart is how low-key it is, like the kids on it generally get along and drama is small but meaningful and everyone does what they can to resolve it. They date but it's not fast, like it's kind funny how long it takes them to admit that they like each other. It's extremely soothing.

The best part tho is they cut from this extremely low key stuff to this panel of comedians and tv personalities who take turns making fun of the kids and pump way out of proportion the things going on. It's like a room of drunk aunts and uncles at a family reunion. The contrast is intentional and it's really funny.

Anyway Boys & Girls in the City is the good one, Aloha State isn't as good. Here's a good overview.

It takes a while for how cool they are to really show through but YES THERE ARE

You might have caught on to this, but I definitely need to mention that there's some really gross stuff in it. I mention this not in a "I liked it but.." kinda way, there's nothing I would remove, but its got really really over the top sex and violence and sexual violence and it's not for everyone lol. It legit feels illicit and it very cool things with that feeling and it's so so good.

oh yeah lmao bojack is EXTREMELY good and so so so important to me

I don't think voltron is very good though, and I'm saying this as someone who is on-and-off obsessed with voltron. it is fun to watch but I don't know if I'd go so far as to say good

remember when everybody was into orange is the new black and then we all stopped being into orange is the new black at the same time

I remember when online couldn't shut up about the show but I still have no idea what the appeal was. I know the premise (I think), but all the gushing never relayed what was interesting about it.

Also only now noticed that people stopped caring about it at the same time, I thought it was over.
