It’s sad when someone is a really good actor, as Jason Thompson can be, and he’s simply a poor fit for his role. I thought he was really strong today. Lily is a twit.

Paul Wagner is his “stage” name. He’s also gone by “Barry.”

Yikes. I do wonder what the nature of his religious-exemption request was.

Now watching The Chair on Netflix with Sandra Oh, Holland Taylor, Bob Balaban, and Jay Duplass. I’m reminded of my ex, who was a history professor, and not in a good way.

Tuned in for the first time in a while, and they’re doing another missing person story, this time with Abby? Josh is lazy af.

“Daytime” vs. “Primetime” seems like such an antiquated 20th-century distinction in this age of streaming. Most of the Daytime awards are handed out to web properties nowadays, and a lot of the Primetime awards are going to Netflix, etc. The Daytime Emmys always felt like such a hodgepodge of genres compared to the primetime awards, but it feels even weirder now. I guess this addresses some of that by creating genre distinctions.

This guy’s name is Artem. 🇷🇺

I just watched the first episode. I agree that Kenya is the MVP, followed by messy Ramona. It’s refreshing to see the women break the fourth wall and acknowledge their status as celebrities/Bravolebrities and not just “a group of friends.” I wish they did that more on the actual Bravo franchises.

The 2019 comparisons are interesting. DAYS demo numbers have basically been halved.

Reusable for all the soaps, but I agree re: KKL/Brooke. I feel the same way about MTS/Nikki on Y&R, who is also used as a buttinsky/glorified Gladys Kravitz, instead of the icon of soaps that she is. At least Brooke is not playing ping-pong between Bill and Ridge, as that’s the only story Brad seems to give her.

Ugh. He’s so beautiful.

I read them, although I’m so out of the loop with watching DW these days. A little burnt out. Haven’t really watched consistently since the first Peter Capaldi season.

Sabalenka is a mess. She just unravels at the worst moments.

Feels like an odd tonal/stylistic fit IMO. The synergy I get. I’m curious what the day-to-day audience will think.

Cross-promo between two Disney properties (NatGeo and GH) but an odd fit.
