The actress in The Last Of Us cold open is Christine Hakim who's the Meryl Streep of Indonesia (her fans were very excited they cast actors from Indonesia to play Indonesians - apparently that doesn't happen a lot). And give her an Emmy right now...

Thrilled American Auto is back!

Have you seen the UK Ghosts? I loved it but I've held off watching the US remake because I'm a bit wary of UK->US remakes (possibly residual IT Crowd trauma, the US pilot of that made me want to leap off a building). Interested in your opinion on the comparison, if you've seen both.

Haven’t read the book but truly puzzled why we had to keep on sticking with Toby 90% of the time. I stopped giving a duck about him waaayyy before the “revelation”. It feels like a concept that wants to have its cake and eat it too

Omg you nailed it on Toby. I enjoyed the show but something was off and it is everything you just wrote.

Damn I haven't seen Fleischmann or Paul Goldman yet, but that was a great analysis. Keep killing it.
