[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I read something saying they’d been broken up for all that time, and, no, I will not even consider that.
As for good parts, yes! So many! I had forgotten all about the injury and Ilya looking extremely young while worrying on the ice and Shane all high on painkillers and reckless really got me in the feels
François said in some interview that there was timeline hinkiness and when he and Robbie shot the scene in ep 5 it was their understanding it was set a few months after ep 3.

That's what I like to hear, Matt!
Heh, I went and looked that up when you mentioned it in Natter, Hec
There's a good interview on GQ's website with Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams about the show: [link]
The part that absolutely cracked me up about Storrie (bold text mine):
Nothing in Hollywood is ever a sure thing—not even a sequel to a movie that earned 11 Oscar nominations. After Folie à Deux’s release, a short write-up on Storrie appeared in Variety. But then, well, nothing. In no particular order, he shot a low-budget thriller in Romania, moved in with his older sister in Los Angeles, came to idolize David Lynch, and took classes with The Groundlings before falling in with the experimental clown scene on the east side of Los Angeles.
Just how close did we come to having a method acting-driven Joker in real life before hockey slash saved the day?
That's a Joker movie I would watch
The experimental clown scene?? That’s a scene? Wow.
What an absolutely iconic way to hit rock bottom before making it big in gay Canadian TV.
I think that magical sentence just unlocked my third eye
The timeline weirdness in the Scott/Kip story is bugging me -- what were they doing for those three years? -- but other than that, I thought that the last two episodes in particular were really well done, after already enjoying the beginning of the season.
I'm glad they got renewed for a second season, and one interview mentioned the possibility of a third, but I'm curious how they'll split up the remaining books if a third season is still uncertain. Also, I kind of hated how things got resolved in The Long Game, but I'll reserve judgment on the show version until I see it -- I thought the small changes between the book and the show in this season were good choices that added to the story. (Other than the Scott/Kip timeline thing.)
