I liked Midnight Mass even better. He nailed that. And being raised Catholic he included so many small and authentic details it was creepy how much it made me remember. It was perfectly executed.

Saved a watch then...pass

On episode 6. Really good so far. Some really ****ed up stuff lmao.

E6 had me rolling when the scary chick told the freaky housewife who likes to watch her husband service other women..."he's eaten a lot of ass on your behalf" LMAO

This show is ****ing outstanding.

Through ep. 4 and don't have much else to add. It's just a really cool idea that is executed extremely well.

YES!

"And then you make ****ing lemonade..."

Dammit that was awesome.

Bruce Greenwood is one of those slept-on actors who's never really been huge (though he's had a very good career) who I'm always happy to see in something. He just brings gravitas to any role he's in.

And man is he perfect in this.

"Loaded"

Jesus Christ.

It's literally 3 ****ing lines and that's the extent. I was expecting some huge political expose, but that's not even remotely close to the case. Holy shit you're a snowflake if that hurt your feelings.

It's literally

"I made a deal with a guy that could shoot someone on 5th avenue."

"When's that coming to an end because even I can only handle so much"

That's it.

That's the only thing.

It's nothing. You'll see when you finish it.

No, the finale was full of political messaging. It wasn't just that.

You get an anti-capitalism speech from Verna with the Trump reference, and you also get a little feminism rant from Madeline that references shit like abortion rights.

Again, it didn't completely ruin the finale or the show for me, but it was absolutely unnecessary and took me out of the finale multiple times.

And that's with me ignoring the political BS earlier in the season that I just rolled my eyes at ("Fox news", pics when they discover Verna throughout history with all the evil people some of whom just happen to be Republicans with no Democrats).

Just because you agree with the politics doesn't mean they aren't littered throughout the series. It also doesn't mean it's a bad series or one not worth watching. I still enjoyed it overall, and I'd recommend it.

I just find it hilarious how the people that agree with the politics want to gaslight you and tell you it's not there.

I guarantee dlphg9 would get his panties in a twist if it were CNN instead of Fox, Biden instead of Trump, etc. but since he agrees with it it's fine and you're a cry baby for noticing and simply complaining that it took you out of the series. It just NEVER goes the other way, so of course you get to pretend that anybody who points it out and dislikes it is just crying.

The difference between people like me and you is that I just don't want the on the nose politics period. It's not about whether I agree or disagree. Honestly, they could've just as easily been more subtle about it like Succession and I wouldn't have even had an issue with it.

Through episode 7, there's nothing politically that stands out much. The pics of Verna were mostly with "captains of industry". Zuckerberg was in one of them.

To me the most "woke" thing about the show is the fact that in 1980 a young, black, openly gay attorney A) is given the task of prosecuting one of the most powerful companies in the country, and B) damn near succeeds.

Never used the word "woke" to describe this show.

IIRC pics of Verna included multiple Republicans and zero Democrats.

Also, I said it's not much until the finale, but you also get the Fox News is bad reference when they do exactly what Camille wanted them to do.

Edit: old pics of Verna included Kavanaugh, Murdoch, McConnell, Trump, Bush, etc. with zero Democrats. Surely that's just a coincidence!

All the others were rich people that the left have grievances with.

The 'cat' episode is a little weaker. Greenwood is still killing it, though and there was some necessary character development (notably Usher's ascendance and additional insight into his father).
