watched it. liked it.
sideshow freaks, an evil preacher, weird religious stuff, and the great depression. this show has all my favorite themes. it's also one of my comfort shows.
i want to place a curse on every exec who canceled this show and continues to cling to the rights so that the show's creator can't finish it in book/comic form.
carnivale would be a perfect 10/10 for me if it hadn't left us on a cliffhanger. if i had a nickel for every time clancy brown starred in a really good show that got canceled without resolving plotlines and answering questions, i'd have way too many fucking nickles and i hate loose coins scattered around in my purse.
sometimes, when you die, you don't pass on. you become a reaper and help guide souls on their final journey into the great unknown. death, another one of my favorite themes.
as with carnivale, i want to curse the showtime execs who cancled dead like me and thought they could get away with undoing all the depth and development the characters achieved throughout the show's two season run with a shitty direct to dvd movie, and THEN saying they'd bring the show back if enough people bough the piece of shit. guess who made her mom take her to best buy the day it came out hoping we'd get a third season? me. and i'm still salty about it.
another comfort show.
i was first introduced to joe pera during a long and extremely painful labor. i hadn't had cable in years at that point, so i decided to turn the delivery room tv to adult swim. just after they stuck the epidural needle into my spine, joe started jumping on his furniture while having a religious experience to baba o'riley. i knew then that he would become one of my favorite entertainers.
i completely forgot about joe pera after the birth. what can i say? i had a newborn and i still don't have cable.
but not forever! a clip of the baba o'riley episode came across my fyp and i suddenly remembered that night in the delivery ward. then, after binging joe pera talks with you and all of his other content, joe pera actually became one of my favorite entertainers. he may be one of my favorite people. well, the persona is. i don't want to sound like i'm suffering through some kind of unhealthy parasocial relationship. the man behind the glasses and soothing voice may very well be a complete dick. i don't know him. but i like the idea of joe pera.
you guessed it, this is a comfort show.
i watched midnight mass a week postpartum. I SHOULDN'T HAVE.
10/10 no notes. not a comfort show.
making my way through
slowly making my way through gilmore girls hoping it heals something in me. it's not, but it's a good show. kinda envious of rory and lorelai.
while i really enjoy evil, i'm really struggling to get through it because kristen's mother pisses me off to the point where i have to step away from the show.
i should probably seek therapy. too bad i can't afford it!
