cultural counterprogramming: I don't know if Avenue 5 is good, exactly, but it's very interesting as a product of the current moment

The Thick of It was very uneven at the beginning too before they really figured out that Malcolm was the main character. (Veep, imo, never really gelled because it never quite found its withered heart in the same way.) So I will give it time; fingers crossed HBO does as well

Ave 5 is interesting read against Death of Stalin (also Ianucci)—the only way you can really grapple with doom and gloom of the present moment is by moving away from hectic, petty, small-bore political satire and jumping either back in time or forward. You need a different canvas

...in both, extreme life-or-death scenarios. I rewatched the last season of TTOI—which felt so dramatic and even tragic at the time—and the drama of an inquiry into leaking seems so ... small compared to everything we're dealing with now. No wonder you need space as a canvas

HBO black comedy involving Hugh Laurie in space from the folks who made Veep/The Thick of It

I'm hanging in there. It seems to be slowly finding its feet.

Oh, lol, I watched this tonight, too, instead of the SB. On point.
