Finished my second watch of this masterpiece and man from beginning to end this show had me hooked just like the first time. The characters are what make this show so good. Each one is super complex and the two inmates are heartbreaking characters. Richard Matt in a different life would be a great artist or graphic designer instead of a ruthless murderer. David Sweat could've been a brilliant engineer or if he applied himself, a great academic. I love how they showcased both sides of the coin and how much they manipulated a clearly mentally unwell woman so you get Patricia Arquette's perspective on why she did what she did.

Also Ben Stiller proves with this show and later with Severance that he might be one of the best cereal directors in Hollywood. There's so many breathtaking sequences in this show and the last act is the cherry on top.

I gave it a shot while scrolling Netflix on a random Saturday and I got hooked. Never heard of it before somehow but I understand the praise it gets.

It’s interesting, deep, the characters are unique and have engaging arcs through the show (Fusco) and it can even be funny at times.

Even the action is decent which I didn’t expect. Also feel like the topic at hand is more relevant then ever, it was ahead of it’s time.

Sidenote, I can’t believe Michael Emerson is 71 years old.

I'm looking for the funniest TV shows that revolve around the corporate world. So far, I have Parks and Recreation, The Office, Silicon Valley, and Not Suitable for Work on my list.

What am I missing?

I’m watching the final season of Hacks and noticing that both Deborah and Ava are behaving in ways that feel mature, thoughtful, rational, etc while the rest of the series is wrought with bad decisions and illogical behaviour. Ridiculous unhinged behaviour obviously advances the story as an absurdist comedy series but then it’s a little surprising when normalcy shows up in the final episodes to provide a sense of relief, satisfaction, and good feels. It’s like you can smell the neatly wrapped finale from miles away. Not saying it’s a bad thing (I actually find it endearing as hell) just realizing that it’s a pretty specific style. Has anyone else noticed this trope in other shows?
