I thought it might be funny, not necessary good, from the previews - watched episode one. One and done; agree with the others here, it is not good and not funny a all.

Ditto. Given that the show was created by the same team that did Veep, I was optimistic that this show would be the next best thing. Alas, it was not to be. Disappointing.

I'm liking it just enough. But I don't think it's really a sci-fi parody.

It's more a spoof of corporate bureaucracy amidst the disaster of late capitalism.

Kinda like WALL-E, but with no heart.

Thanks for sparing me the time. I saw a couple of the previews and thought, "If this is the best of show, god only knows." Like everyone else I had a hope because there were Veep creators involved. However, I am not even going to bother.

What is going on at HBO?

 

Was there a change in ownership? Management? They traditionally premiered new (new-for-tv, new-for-HBO,) movies on Saturday evening. Several years ago, they yielded the first release on TV segment to others, like Starz, but the movies were still recognizable as something that was in the theaters in the recent past.

 

For the past six months, they're premiering horrible movies I've never heard of each week. Their made for HBO stuff has gone sideways.... the only original I watched since mid-2019 was Succession.- I rarely watch HBO anymore.

 

I'm sorry I'm locked into an HBO subscription, and I'll be dropping it when the subscription package ends.

A good news item there is that the new season of High Maintenance has started. If you have not seen it I would recommend. It is a little different in tone than when it began but I would still recommend it.

Agree! If it wasn’t for the fact I’m getting free HBO via my AT&T wireless plan...I wouldn’t be subscribing to it.

Succession ????

the Outsider I’m enjoying ??(I’m a shameless Steven King constant reader)

Westworld ??

Avenue 5 ?

New Pope....undecided but Season 1 was better for me than this season 2 so far

And don't forget Curb Your Enthusiasm - the funniest show on TV.

Completely forgot!! I’m actually binge watching from season 1 with a family member that had never seen the show. So I’m delaying season 10 for now. Pretty, pretty.....good!

Binge watching. Excellent! Season 10 so far is fantastic. Larry. Jeff. Susie. Cheryl. Leon. They are all at their comedic peaks.

Only because you mentioned S1 from Curb Your Enthusiasm - The episodes where Larry picks up the prostitute so that he can drive in the express lane and the episode where he is looking to buy a bra for Cheryl for her birthday and in trying to determine Cheryl's bra size looks at Susie's bra in Jeff and Susie's laundry room. He does a couple of things he shouldn't not realizing that Susie had put monitoring in the room because Susie thinks her housekeeper is stealing from her. Two of the funniest things I have seen on television.

It’s all as funny the second time around for me...and for my family member seeing for the first time. Such good stuff..
