You're the Worst was the best. Sure, some aspects didn't get developed as well as they could/should have (Gretchen going to therapy), but the chemistry between Aya and Chris was off-the-charts, and my wife and I still cry out "Sunday Fun Day" when we go out to brunch on the weekend.

You probably know this, but Aya is from major family artsy royalty. Cash was born in San Francisco, California, to poet and novelist Kim Addonizio and Buddhist teacher Eugene Cash. She is the granddaughter of tennis champion Pauline Betz and sports writer Bob Addie.

You are really convincing me to watch Physical. It had pretty bad reviews, but I love Rose Byrne so if I somehow get more time in my life, I will watch that one.

Just finished A Murder at the End of the World and it was more of a guilty pleasure than a smartly written mystery with great acting. I groaned at least a couple dozen times at unbelievable plot holes and I had guessed the "mystery" in episode 1. More as a joke than from any real evidence, but as it went on, I knew I was right. I somehow liked it, despite all the things that I didn't think worked!

Thanks for the comment. I recall that Cash family creative dynasty. She’s amazing. Though she’s on a show on Fox (or was, not sure if it cancelled) that I held out hope for called “welcome to flatch” because it was mockumentary mixed with “My name is earl” IMHO but alas, I just couldn’t get into it. Also, Physical definitely has a tough to watch vibe in certain moments (like the first half of the last season) but Byrne does it for me. She nails the role and it’s a more “ugly” truthful story that has compelling performances by actors you don’t see in everything and are good to watch.

Okay- I’m caught up with TD season 4 and will watch the finale tonight, so if you want to volley back and forth some thoughts and make it a post, let me know. It’s rare that I’m caught up with you on any show so I’m open.
