Rats? That’s the homage? To rats? Sweet fancy Moses we are doomed as a society

Part of Amazon Prime Video’s coming out party and flagship attempt at entering prestige TV. Gael Garcia Bernal brings his typical burning charisma and earned his Emmy, a time when the Kirke sisters were getting a lot of work as with Malcolm McDowell, Bernadette Peters does a yeoman’s effort, great cameos and commentary on Arts, wrapped up nicely and beautifully shot. The prison episode was especially thoughtful, glad it was made

Who else feels the Louis & Katrina dynamic duo was spin-off worthy- has the potential to be a sweet, sweet combo of a 40s screwball comedy / disturbingly unhinged- oh the potential is endless!

After the blessed experience of watching the Top Guns on IMAX in honor of the 40th anniversary a different aspect occurred to me.
Charlie doesn’t get enough credit for being an educated, strong, independent woman in the midst of her own target rich environment especially for back in ‘86! She’s got her PhD, the sweet crib in Oceanside w/ baby Porsche , and when Mav goes deep into his feelings (RIP Goose), emotionally distances himself/quasi vanishing act (good looking out, Wolfman) she does all the right things! She tries to comfort him, she challenges him and expects him to be the man he is. When he can’t deal, she doesn’t stick around- she follows her path when he shuts her out, but doesn’t give up on him and comes back when she knows he’s dealt with his demons and is ready to be in a relationship.

…wait for it…Best coffee shop for 1st date roughly equidistant from Hillcrest and OB, if it is super awesome /or super ambiance a bit either way is considered! Thanks SD hive!

…do for old friends of their father’s. This epic line was delivered to me in the wild and it absolutely worked, on my way to the meeting now.

A crazy talented cast in this 23 episode fever dream of a prime time soap about the fabulously wealthy against the reality of the global great recession/ meltdown! Peter Krause, Donald Sutherland, Blair Underwood, Lucy Liu!
