Picking up from yesterday –
So, the episode of Hacks they put up for us started with a VERY nervous assistant(?) on a plane with her boss(?). And she’s shaking and SO nervous and she’s internally FREAKING out when they land and they start getting service again.
So, something’s up.
And because I’m not familiar with the show, I’m on the edge of my seat to know what happened. (Also, there are so many cool actors I recognize as this episode goes on! Have y’all been watching Hacks? How has this show been going on right underneath my nose this whole time? It’s really good! I’ve been missing out on so much of the world! (Or at least the TV world… which is… part of the world, I suppose.)
So, in some ways, it’s been cool to catch up on everything.
But also, I clearly just need to catch up on the TV landscape in general. One of the things that’s awesome about being in the Television Academy, is if you wanna vote, you pretty much have to get on top of what’s going on, because you have to have a sense of what you’re voting for.
The landscape is just always changing, and being a voting member (if you’re gonna vote), basically forces you to get back on top of things!
Speaking of some other things I missed, Squid Game is INCREDIBLE. Incredible. Like, beyond words. Amazing. Wild. While I LOVE TV shows, and love to take them in, I think a number of shows you can still get, if you’re doing some other things – if you’re not giving your full attention. But I couldn’t imagine watching Squid Game anything other than COMPLETELY enrapt, barely breathing. (The Marbles episode was the one they submitted, in case you’re familiar.)
And this is where I’ll pick up tomorrow!
