Ive been watching Severance. It's an interesting show. Not quite a great show, but its got some moments that make me think a little about our existence and what it means to be human. It is slow as hell, and i find the occasional levity to be at odds with the overall serious, somber mood they are trying to create, but if I peer closely I think I can see what the show runners are trying to put down. The soundtrack/score is also pretty well done.

Im concerned that it's built up this heavy, existential end game that will ultimately fail really badly, but im intrigued to see what comes.

Some of the acting is stupidly over the top, but i think Jon Turturro and Adam Scott are great in it.

looks like inane liberal entertainment par excellence.

it will end like Lost. a flan whose thin pastry walls collapse under the weight of its own ornamentation.

I finally got around to Googling what "The White Lotus" is. Crazy how far HBO has fallen.

not to be unfairly critical of productions worked on by many hundreds or thousands of people to entertain (for money), but from what heights are we talking? at the dropoff of a speedbump, or?

in wider context? literally, "home box office." weren't people watching its logo rotate on straight-to-vhs years and years ago? hbo knew what they were about since long before fm got a taste for awms.

Lost 6/10

Mostly background noise. I can't watch TV anymore. It seemed like it was trying to say something. I don't know what. Never dull though.
