HBO has been killing it all year, from Watchmen to The Outsider and A Plot Against America, etc. They have a few new shows that are shaping up to be just as good. We’re three episodes deep on The Undoing (Nicolle Kidman and Hugh Grant) and it’s fucking insane. Great psychological thriller/mystery. It will have you counting down the days until the next episode airs so you can figure out more pieces of the puzzle.

There’s also a new show on HBO Max called Two Weeks To Live with our old friend Arya Stark playing a teenager who has been sheltered with her mom in a doomsday bunker her whole life. She has a lot to learn about the real world once she finally escapes, but she’s trained to kill like a super-assassin so she’ll probably be ok. I’m only one episode deep so far but it’s very interesting and pretty funny. Will keep watching.

Listen, I know seasons 2 and 3 of The Office get all the praise and acclaim, but a recent rewatch of season 5 revealed something remarkable. It’s quite good. Maybe even great. Weight loss saga, the CPR scene, Crime Aid, Stanley’s heart attack, and the scene that still gets me every time, the Bill Buttlicker roleplay.

Also, Chappelle’s Show is on Netflix now and there were so many amazing sketches I had forgotten about when I started rewatching. The pilot episode is absolutely insane and it’s amazing that he came out the gates like that. Really set the tone for the entire series.
