Basically an excuse to talk about the season, but the interview is super interesting.

op, is the show fun?

[djbbgoose]

Imo not really? It’s really dark and heavy but also weirdly heightened and surreal

[analievelyn]

hmmm. is it a solid show, acting-wise?

[djbbgoose]

Acting is the best part. Logan does a lot with a little

[crimps4]

Haven't seen great reviews for this show, which is disappointing. I like that they have an actual Jew (Lerman) in a role. We need some solidarity.

Do we not have a tag for Amazon Prime shows?

We have an amazon tag OP.

god damn he is so hot

[babarsuhail]

he is? I don't see it.

[colorfilm]

hes so cute i love him im embarrassed lmao

[coulson]

this show is entertaining. i can see why it's getting mixed reviews tho but i'm not smart enough to have a nuanced criticism beyond "it is entertaining".

[djbbgoose]

I’m literally watching rn, I think the tone is a little scattered and I understand the criticism of the inaccuracies. I just watched the dance scene and it gave me spiderman 3 teas
But Logan Lerman is really good, he’s a good crier and can play on all the levels the role requires

[meow_tan]

literally WHAT was that dance scene. is logans character supposed to be a daydreamer head in the clouds type? bc it wasnt established enough at all.

[djbbgoose]

I think he’s just supposed to be young? That’s his major defining character trait but they treat him like he’s 14 instead of 20
The bullying scene in the first ep was too on the nose

all of those weird meta moments in the show are jonah's thoughts in his head
