Am I the only person in the world who gave up halfway through the first episode of season one? I contracted emphysema, COPD, and lung cancer just watching all that industrial-level smoking.

TV smoking and drinking is always insane. People smoke and drink like maniacs and their hangover is just a wince and some aspirin. Give me a show where people are photophobic and shivering all day after a late night out, you cowards.

I’ve never seen this show because I don’t have Netflix, so I watched the first season trailer. I’ll admit it is darkly funny. And then I felt like I should immediately rush to a reconciliation session with my priest. As I said, I only watched the trailer on youtube, so I think I’m safe. Maybe a few Hail Mary’s and a Fátima prayer for good measure.

I’d be interested in what you think of “Mr. Robot” from 2015. A bit before its time? Boy, talk about dark…

I was all in on Mr. Robot for a while, then sort of drafted away from it.

I can't get beyond "Groundhog Day." I can still taste that piece of cake Bill Murray stuffed into his mouth.
