I am so excited to watch Beef. Probably more than any other series that’s recently come out. And that includes a few of my favorites, such as Yellow jackets and Dave. I just wish I could pause real life for a few weeks so I could just focus on TV. I’m so behind on even a short list of my long list of shows to watch. I feel like I have to finish You first. I’m on episode eight so I’m getting there.

Bryan watched Beef without me and loved it! It was a little intense for me. I have a sordid past with rage, so it was difficult for me to watch without absorbing all that intensity.

Thanks for the feedback Jen. Ariel (my husband ) watched it on his own after I watched it and liked it. I hear you on the rage-mosis.

I'm slowly getting through Beef and will then read your piece with true attention....I am at episode 5. It is so good I want to savor it. It's way more cinematic and unpredictable than I expected. And so many layers. Ali Wong is a revelation. And Steven Yeun I already knew was amazing but reveals a whole new palette of colors to the hues of his acting chops. And the supporting characters are also so well portrayed. I know I have a lot coming ahead. I'm trying to savor that Las Vegas episode.

Ugh. Season 4 of "Barry" is about to start soon. And I was gonna get rid of Peacock since I finished poker face, but now "Mrs. Davis" is about to start. I have to wash any anything Damon Lindelof is involved in. like you said first world problems.

We have Paramount Plus too which I can’t remember what that gained us when we signed up but feel like we never pay as much attention to it as we should. If “Yellowstone” were a thing for us it would make sense. Then again, rewatched “Mean Girls” - this time with my tween daughter. So I guess I should finish “Poker Face”? I’ve put it down again and not picked it back up yet. Too much TV...

I think that I more or less am watching at most 2 shows per service each month so in a way I'm thinking of it like each series is about 5-7 bucks. Hulu has been in the lead for me. It used to be HBO. Now it's Substack by a large margin!
