Apparently the reason that Henry Cavill is no longer in the new season of The Witcher is that he, being an avid gamer, refused to go along with the new storyline that deviated substantially from the video game scenarios.

good thing he has since found warhammer

Watched the first episode of Shrinking last night on Apple TV+. My wife and both really enjoyed it and had several moments if audible laughter or chuckles.

I'll watch pretty much anything featuring one of Judd Apatow's people, so I've been looking forward to this one. Hoping to get around to it on the weekend...

I will say, after being trained to binge whole seasons at a time this one episode a week thing is rough.

Aw, you look that up then you see Jason Segel and then you remember how great Dispatches From Elsewhere started and how badly it ended.

I was a little meh about the first episode, but liked the second one much more.  Luke Tennie (Sean) is great.

Coming to Netflix tomorrow!  She is hilarious!

 

The trailer does not do the show justice.  Funniest show I've watched in a while.

Weird how much she looks like Kat from The IT Crowd.

I don't know they can even come close to the manic portrayal and semi-demented character interplays of the original. I get a belly-laugh every time I watch my DVD series of that show.

It reminds me of the old Daily Show with Jon Stewart correspondent reports.

Curious loophole that they don’t get paid because they aren’t “writers” as everything is improv. But the show is now being sold overseas and to cable. Wonder if they could claim copyright infringement for the unauthorized usage of their “intellectual property” without fair compensation as a way around it.

Not sure if I've posted about this yet, but "Shrinking" with Jason Segel and Harrison Ford is pretty good. It's not quite Lasso good, but it's really good. I think there's 4 eps so far...

Haven't watched ep 4 yet, but it does get better with each episode.  A solid series so far.
