askye, the Max exclusive stuff cannot be watched on Hulu. You can only watch them the way you ended up doing it.

Yeah. So this also means I can watch Gentleman Jack.
Ok so I was worried OFMD would be an issue for me to watch because of the whole--Stede trying and not being good at what he is doing and having people talk about him, etc. I can't watch The Office because of that. It just brings up a lot of uncomfortable emotional stuff. BUT I realize that there is a lot of support in OFMD and it doesn't turn into what I feared. However I'm kind of skimming through a bunch of episodes so I could kind of get an idea of the level of that and now I'm going back and watching it.

I've been finding OFMD to be somewhat cringeworthy and difficult to watch, too. But then again, I've been having trouble watching all kinds of seemingly innocuous stuff since the pandemic.

It's super soothing to watch old Powerpuff Girls and Teen Titans episodes. (The throughline there being Tara Strong.)

I have seen the first four episodes of OFMD and I am fully onboard with this show. (I only didn't binge the entire season because I had to go to bed.)

Yeah, I feel like OFMD doesn't lean too hard into mocking or cringe-y humor. So the humor isn't usually very sharp; it's often rather gentle and affectionate, but sometimes that means it's also less laugh-out-loud funny than it could be.
In all honesty, as much as I love it, I feel like the tone of the show is hard to pin down: it veers from broad humor to genuine darkness to moonlit romance to improv-style comedy to gory (if cartoonish) violence to heartfelt drama, and the character beats sometimes suffer a bit. On the other hand, it's giving me so much of what I want out of my stories that I don't really care about its flaws, I'm just over here being a walking heart-eyes emoji.

Teen Titans Go is one of ltc's obsession.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I recommend sticking with OFMD until Taika Waititi appears, because that really kicks the show into gear. The first couple episodes are necessary to establish the world.
