Our household is finally catching up on Severance, and...it's slow, y'all. Remember back in the day when TV was written episodically and if there wasn't a lot going on in the mytharc because sweeps was still a month away, there would still be something like a complete storyline within EACH INDIVIDUAL EPISODE??? Severance needs that so badly.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ok, yeah, now that you mention it. I was (and maybe still am) willing to consider it a sort of metatextual commentary on the timelessness and meaninglessness of corporate work but I had to work at it
Leverage:Redemption I stopped watching partway through the first season. Not, iirc, because I didn’t like it but more just Too Much TV. Anyway, recently heard some buzz and decided to catch up and oh boy season 3 is gold! Not to shade seasons 1&2 but 3 is leveled up. I didn’t really realize that the character relationships and the grifts were just a tiny bit off until they clicked into their proper places this season.
AFAICT the only way to see it is through Prime which I do feel guilty about but the anti-billionaire energy surely offsets that on some level

I mean, sure, but I have my actual corporate job for that.

Does not work as escapism, for sure

If Poker Face is also going to be dropping 3 episodes a week I don’t know how I’m going to manage. The first ep of the new season is pretty fun, though, so I will try.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Mon, dearest, if you you destroy the bug they know you've seen the bug. Instead you plant wrong information via the bug. If you must destroy the bug, make it look like an accident. Sheesh.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Mon was all out of fucks to give at that point.

And I respect that, but she still needs to escape with her life. Which, I grant, we know succeeds (insert 42 year old spoiler here).
