The Other Two
(2019)

Incredibly funny, fast, witty and obvs written by "peers in the industry"
No idea why the rating is so mediocre, the writing is spot on, and cleary the various subcultures this pokes fun at are involved in the writing of the show itself.

The minute-long montage about the hole pic along is emmy worthy, but what do I know!

Veep: Oslo
(2019)
Episode 6, Season 7

If you only need to see one episode of Veep...
... it's this one. The speed with which we follow Selena and her gang through absolutely outrageous situations combined with almost every line spoken being comedy gold. One point minus because it doesnt give the finale enough build up. It would make more sense earlier in the season.

He's All That
(2021)

Incredibly bad, but watched it drunk, hilarious!
Title says it all, its cringe-topia. Who makes such movies? Why?

Kevin Can F**k Himself
(2021)

Great concept, seems like some people miss the point...
... whilst not all jokes land, it's a refreshing spin on outdated sitcom tropes. Seems this goes over some people's heads though.

Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
(2019)

Has the right ingredients but just doesn't come together
Great destinations, fun guest stars and exploring foreign foods. What is not to like? Unfortunately nothing really works.
  • Is it an interview show? There's a lot of very shallow interviewing happening. One wonders why they need to fly to all those destinations to have the vast majority of the programme like a late night show interviews.
  • Is it a food show? Food gets surprisingly little air time and it rushed through without much impact. It is of zero help to have the so-called "host" /chef on board as he knows next-to-nothing about the respective cuisines. The show reveals almost nothing about how dishes are made and they barely seem to try slightly "riskier" or "edgier" foods. often just point at things. Food comes and goes but the show isn't really about that. The host often asks very uninformed yet patronising things, it's cringe to watch.
  • Is it a travel show? It tries in bits. Some good tourist spots get walked around in, but again it's not really in-depth. The attitude of the travellers is often very condescending and reducing the locals to complete stereotypes. My "highlight" was the host learning some basic facts about Cambodia after overcoming the pure shock of not being in America and meeting a celebrity after a whole 7 minutes to then immidiately asking a Cambodian chef about how much of the food is "pre-war or post-war".
If you like travel, food or witty interviews you strangely get NEITHER. TH

Hello, Privilege. It's Me, Chelsea
(2019)

Decent conversation-starter
Whilst it still only scratches at the surface, Chelsea and her commentators raise some valid points and offers ways to start working through issues as:
  • How white people need to solve this problem instead of just projecting it onto the black community
  • How to better become more aware structures that work in your favour/against
  • What some of the forms of structural dicrimination is currently happening in the US.
For little over an hour, it's a good conversation starter.

P.S.: There seem to be a lot of angry white trolls on this page.
