So I should watch Russian Doll?
It's amazing. I think it's a masterpiece. The best short miniseries ever on Netflix.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
DAMN THIS STUPID LENGTHY COAST. I need to rewatch with you, Plei. Also, I may have registered for an imdb account just to add quotes to the empty quotes page. Maybe.

Hey. New board.
We were not fans of the Russian Doll pilot, but stuck with it on y'all's rec and just finished it. It is...really good.
They had better not try to make a second season/series though.

Is anyone else watching The Umbrella Academy on Netflix?

(Hi Hec! I saw your b.d. wishes in Natter. Thank you.) What do you think of The Umbrella Academy?

What do you think of The Umbrella Academy?
There was a really well made parody video made a few years ago called "What if Wes Anderson directed the X-Men" and that seemed relevant while I was watching Umbrella Academy.
The video: [link]
I mean...Umbrella Academy even opened with a Kinks song! ("Picture Book")
That said, I am the perfect demographic for something like Wes Anderson's X-Men so I'm enjoying it. I haven't finished it yet but I did read the comic book so I know where the story is going.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I've watched the first episode, but haven't gotten back to it yet.

Yup! Always a point in favor.

I have loved the music. I like the series too, but I would have appreciated a little bit more concentration on Allison's ability. It felt like it was revealed as an afterthought.
I have some squick re: Allison and Luther. but I feel like maybe if I had read the comic book I wouldn't.
It's jarring that they don't use * cell phones .
The Mary Sue was more bent out of shape about that (and communication in general) than I am, but I get it. I still haven't finished season 1 yet. Have you?
