It's Saturday what have you watched this week?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
- The Studio - First episode - seems fun, but too similar to The Franchise just at the moment, and without the subtle wit of that one.
- The Righteous Gemstones - part way through season 4. This season lacks the coherence of the previous ones and seems to be be relying on continuous gross-out humour to make up for that. There was a natural end point with season 3. I will give this another episode, but may abandon it there.
- Adolescence - I completely agree with those who say that it isn't the kids who need to see Adolescence, but the parents. I found that there was some heavy-handed moralising in eps 2 & 4, but 1 and 3 were intense and excellent and all of them were technically impressive.
- The White Lotus - another compelling season of the wealthy and damned paraded for our judgement. Fine performances from Posey, Issacs and Goggins particularly.
- The Residence - I wasn't sure about episode 1. It seemed to be trying too hard and not nearly as funny as the director seems to think, but episode 2 was much improved. I'll continue.
