It got a spread in our newspaper not long ago and I look forward to watch it. It is not possible to watch here however.

I am 3 episodes in and hooked.  I will finish it over the weekend. Do you receive an error that it is blocked in your country? I am able to stream it without VPN from Singapore without an issue

Yes: "We're sorry, but this video is not available in your region due to right restrictions." :(

I'll get to it later.

The pilot of The Good Doctor is impressively bad, just shy of the point where you could read it as a satire of these kind of medical shows.

Neo Yokio, season 1

A constant poke at the aristocracy of New York City, it really only becomes worthwhile in the last couple episodes, and I can't recommend the rest of it to slog through it.

2/5

American Vandal, season 1

A mockumentary, Serial style, takes place in a high school where a reject is accused of spray painting dicks on 27 teacher cars.  All the evidence points to Daryl until a high school journalist determines to know the truth.  The satire is weak at best, but the final episode is full of great insight about the drawbacks of documentaries.

3/5

I know.  I didn't get the memo in time.

Is anyone watching The Tick (Amazon)? It’s pretty fantastic/hilarious and I’m surprised I’ve just stumbled upon it without hearing any buzz.

I am now in The Sad Place because I finished binging season 1 of The Good Place on Netflix and have no more episodes to watch for a year.

Season 2 is on Hulu!

(I'm guessing you don't have Hulu?)
