🎲

"As they said in Barry, 'when you don't know what else to do, there's teaching.' Or something like that. I'd have to watch Barry a second time to fully understand snd catch certain themes I missed."
I started teaching in an inner city high school and I love it · u/SoftAd6434 · ↑388 · 2024-10-28
"Just unsubscribed from the Barry and Succession subreddits, even though I love both of those shows. Every post is either some idiot thinking they're making some revolutionary discovery i.e. 'maybe the Roy's are bad people????' or it's super weird fan worship for fictional characters"

"I enjoyed the first two seasons as kind of a fun dark comedy, but I don't really understand the acclaim about season 3 and the current one. The direction is good, but it's like too self consciously cinematic for me. It feels like every scene is trying to get screengrabbed and retweeted by @OnePerfec"

"Dude looks like shiiiiit recently and Barry season 4 genuinely feels like the result of some sort of nihilistic meltdown, he genuinely seems suicidal"

"They did the gay ass Breaking Bad arc/style and ended it as such."
