Despite the atrocious dubbing, I've been enjoying Eastern Gate. I think most people who would be interested in the show would prefer subtitles.

COUP

dipped into snl 50. maybe the show is tomorrow? some sort of snl 50 music thing today on peacock. saw a clip or two. thought this behind the scenes look was interesting. heard recently that each show costs about 4m to produce and with the shattering of tv audiences snl is now the most watched show on nbc which is kind of crazy. im sure putting stuff behind a peacock paywall really boosts viewership. although back to the 4m, supposedly its more expensive to produce since they still do it at 30 rock instead of, like a studio in astoria, i guess because the space is at a premium and something about small elevators. they didnt really go into it. but, yeah, antiquated facility but obviously retains the history.

cant recall the last actual show i watched but easy to dip in and stream a few clips every once in a while.

found this via reddit. someone looking for dark comedies with irish female protagonist.

Olivier's show opened Thursday 

white lotus returns sunday. 

yellowjackets season three dropped the first two eps.

as noted severance is back. havent dipped in yet.

really hard to work up an appetite when these shows disappear for two or three years.

i liked the first season sas rogue heroes. second season was kind of a slog. its the creators of peaky blinders so i know steve will like it. you slagged that show and i honestly never went back. i think i was in season 4.
