This is a problem imposed by the networks and their algorithm data. It isn’t preferred by screenwriters or tv writers. They lose customers in the first five minutes, and this has made them worry that stakes need to be spelled out early and often. tl/dr: Don’t blame writers.

One thing I know from watching THE PITT is that the Dourif genes are strong. Sometimes I feel like McKay is possessed by Doc Cochran

The last few truly great documentaries I’ve seen have involved guerrilla footage like this. MR NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN, MY BRILLIANT FRIENDS, etc. It sets them apart from the usual churn because they’re inside the subculture filming.

Anyway, I’m serious, watch this one.

They’re rare and far between, but Netflix actually has a great docuseries out called Trust Me that sees the woman below empathetically infiltrate an ex-FLDS polygamist sect and turn the leader in to the FBI for child sexual abuse. Great participant-observer stuff.

My wife has been nursing an ankle issue for 3 and a half years, and it has been a rude awakening about how awful it is to get around here, the uneven terrain and weird bumps and awkward parking lots…

It is a crime against God that there are only six episodes of Neighbors, the greatest show on television.

it’s really just a question from me. I wonder why it shook out this way. Doesn’t feel like the result of a conscious choice

Also Joe Sachs who writes many episodes was very helpful to me when I was very ill after I contracted an antibiotic resistant infection. No hate! Just observation.

Not hating on THE PITT I am watching it for Nurse Jesse who is a real nurse at my real urgent care and he is a great nurse. But I just noticed all the male series regulars are white, that’s all.
