Homelander is the least interesting part imho

wtf?? Please go back to commenting on Maniac and leave Homelander alone.

I agree with star seed. Homelander is a terrible character. Everything he says and does is predictable.

He’s like the only interesting part of the show

I'm just going to keep talking Ted Lasso up. Episode 8 came out on Friday. They just keep getting better and better.

It's the definition of "feel good."

Totally agree. Save it for Saturday this week tho.

Binged the first three episodes of "Long Way Up" on AppleTV+ over the weekend.

Big sucker for shows like that and I loved LWR and LWD (which, I see, are also available now on ATV+)

Pen15 on Hulu is incredibly good.

I get that, particularly with some of the issues. But the nostalgia and the realness of the vulnerability and absurd confidence of that age, and the very funny set ups won me over.

Started it last night. I agree with your take. I enjoy how they're willing to sit in the most uncomfortable moments.

As you go there are some really funny ways they handle some of the obvious problems with having 33 year old 13 year olds interacting with 13 year old actors.

Also some serious moments which are not played for laughs and are genuinely affecting.

I felt like Ramy worked itself into corners and tried to go over the top with scenarios meant to provoke emotions and failed, I think Pen15 is navigating that better as you get to know and care about the characters.

It is also keeping itself tethered to reality a bit more than Fleabag (which I love) which is an interesting choice as 13 year olds are some of the most unreliable narrators out there and that would have been really fun to explore.

Overall it is gripping me more and more.

I'm watching alone on netflix.. interesting who drops out and who hasn't so far. haven't watched it at all before and netflix starts and season 6. seems like it would be a miserable experience. fascinating to watch though

Great show! There are 1-2 other Alone watchers on here. They have more seasons on Hulu, FYI.

I enjoyed the show quite a bit. The seasons are really uneven for me as I think they do a lot better job connecting you to the final competitors in some than others.

I can definitely see that happening. On episode 3 and so far there are quite a few that I've only seen for maybe 5 minutes of the almost 3 hours worth of show time. One guy broke his leg within the first week and another looked like he was going to die of dysentery.

Season 6 of Alone is awesome.
