It's because so far they've removed everything related to his story from the show.

It always amazes me how TV watches on here will happily tell us they are bad at watching TV or don’t get basic storytelling.

Joey is a bad improviser who calls himself an actor and constantly fails at commercial auditions. Monica would still be a chef, but for sure covered in tats and eventually has a very special episode about coke and/or alcoholism. Phoebe is definitely a crystal astrology girl on Instagram.

I'm honestly a bit surprised that this isn't in active development.

Chandler would be a cryptobro and there would be a subplot about him having to switch from a nicotine vape to a weed vape. "Could I be any more stoned?"

I have so far watched one: The Tunnel, a time travel detective one that he recommended, and I liked it a lot. He recommended a few others and I think I'm going to start with "Voice"

I notice there's a lot of movies on here too, including several I have seen already that are good (Memoir of a Murderer, The Man From Nowhere, The Wailing).

Interested in hearing if anyone has any other kdrama recommendations, thriller/mystery particularly

It's been so long but I think Joseon X-Files might be okay.

IRIS is an old spy series but it has a lot of top actors/actresses and high production values.

Miss Baek has some tough subject matter but it's also a movie that's really good.

Monica would be Claire Saffritz, a serious try hard with an inexplicable charm who would get fired from a National Magazine's youtube venture for moral reasons only to become more successful on her own. Ross would be a loving paleontologist and suck it up that nobody cared because yay dinosaurs. Chandler would be mid to upper management in a dying company; like how the libertarian asshat who bought out SEARS made all the management compete against each other to the benefit of himself as the company went down the shitter. Joey would be scrambling to hold onto his soap opera job because his twitter/instagram audience is like 30% anti-vaxxer and he really needs that extra whatever from being an 'influencer' bring to keep up rent in a greenwich village apartment. Rachel would be given the waitress job much longer ala Kaley Cuoco in big bang theory; but once they find something that made sense for her they'd immediately raze the coffee shop set and we'd never see it again. Phoebe would still just be a hippy bouncing around from job to job filling in the lean parts with her massage license; or maybe she'd go full onlyfans but all her onlyfans videos would be of her cooking vegan meals because she doesn't trust youtube.

Lol at affording rent in Greenwich Village like that. Not that the show is any better cause they’re right next to the drat park.

Also it always bothered me that Ross is a paleontologist at NYU when NYU doesn’t have any such department.

I mean, unless you're at a museum, a paleontologist is offsite brushing dust off bones so he just present way more than he should be.

Is the original Carl Sagan Cosmos available to stream anywhere? I know it used to be on Netflix years ago, but it seems like it's completely vanished from anywhere online. Which seems strange for something that was on PBS so (I imagine) isn't part of the whole studio-centric streaming service gobble-up of the last few years.

quote:

When I asked Strong about the rap that Kendall performs in Season 2, at a gala for his father—a top contender for Kendall’s most cringeworthy moment—he gave an unsmiling answer about Raskolnikov, referencing Kendall’s “monstrous pain.” Kieran Culkin told me, “After the first season, he said something to me like, ‘I’m worried that people might think that the show is a comedy.’ And I said, ‘I think the show is a comedy.’ He thought I was kidding.” Part of the appeal of “Succession” is its amalgam of drama and bone-dry satire. When I told Strong that I, too, thought of the show as a dark comedy, he looked at me with incomprehension and asked, “In the sense that, like, Chekhov is comedy?” No, I said, in the sense that it’s funny. “That’s exactly why we cast Jeremy in that role,” McKay told me. “Because he’s not playing it like a comedy. He’s playing it like he’s Hamlet.”

"In the sense that like Chekov is comedy?" is such a Kendall-rear end line that I can only applaud the casting decision.

quote:

When I asked Brian Cox, who plays Logan, the patriarch, to describe Strong’s process, he struck a note of fatherly concern. “The result that Jeremy gets is always pretty tremendous,” he said. “I just worry about what he does to himself. I worry about the crises he puts himself through in order to prepare.” Cox, a classically trained British stage actor, has a “turn it on, turn it off” approach to acting, and his relationship with Strong recalls a famous story about Laurence Olivier working with Dustin Hoffman on the 1976 film “Marathon Man.” On learning that Hoffman had stayed up partying for three nights before a scene in which he had to appear sleep-deprived, Olivier said, “My dear boy, why don’t you try acting?” Cox told me, “Actors are funny creatures. I’ve worked with intense actors before. It’s a particularly American disease, I think, this inability to separate yourself off while you’re doing the job.”

Also you get the sense that everyone on set thinks he's full of poo poo.

quote:

Ad-libbing is permitted on “Succession,” but Strong’s improvisations often strike his co-stars as prepared speeches. Culkin recalled a scene from Season 1, with the two of them and Sarah Snook, who plays their sister, Shiv. The family is in New Mexico for group therapy, and Kendall, a recovering addict, goes on a bender. (Strong occasionally gets tipsy for scenes in which Kendall falls off the wagon.)

“He kept doing this speech that he had sort of written,” Culkin said. “All I remember is him saying ‘rootin’-tootin’ ’ a lot. By the third take, he starts that speech again, and Snook looks at him, as Shiv, and goes, ‘Shut. Up. Kendall.’ ”

It’s a bit of a pointless conversation since it’s always kinda lame to make fun of people for genuinely liking something, and all internet fandoms have their share of obnoxious posters anyway.

But I guess I would say The Great. It’s a decent show, but way too snarky and cute for its own good. It could stand to, I dunno, take itself a bit more seriously, I feel. The juxtaposition of wacky royal antics with actual awful poo poo happening occasionally is just awkward, and has been done better by the likes of Armando Iannucci (the whole thing honestly reminds me of a worse take on a concept like Death of Stalin). Plus, the whole “*occasionally a true story teehee” thing rubs me the wrong way.

they both seem like shows about rich people where the rich people aren't constantly suffering for their immoral (and trivially resolvable) state of existence. I'll watch a show like that when it's just taking real life billionaires and dropping them down a skyscraper-sized plinko board.

AP Bio seems like it would be a lot more accessible of a show than Always Sunny, but I reckon if Sunny had been on other networks it would never have made it as far as it did, or really, at all.

Peacock is already so die, makes me wonder what their plan even is at this point. Unless you really need to rewatch the Office on loop and the free eps aren't enough, hard to see what you'd go there for.
