The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

[SpursforSix]

Nah I saw 2 episodes of Frankie and Grace and just couldn’t make myself watch any more of them. Thats one more episode than I spent on House of Cards lol. I like the limited series best (Waco, Big Little Lies, Sharp Objects, Escape From Dannemora—all excellent) because my attention span is too short to keep up with multiple seasons of anything. I’m going to check out Miracle Workers tonight

I should prob keep a list of shows I see recommended but I just don’t watch that much tv. Between one limited series, PBS, Turner Classic Movies and Spurs games I get pretty much as much tv time as I can handle.

My attention span has definitely gotten shorter. I've gotten to the point where I'd prefer a series in 6 episodes or a do entary in 4. Seems like most of the docs I've watched that are longer always feel like they've been stretched out a couple episodes too long. I assume that this is all about contracts and money but I'd prefer that the director just shoot and deliver however many episodes he believe are best for show. Whether it's 3, 5, 6...whatever.

The FX limited series I've seen (haven't seen the OJ one) have been really good.

The episode of the OJ series that focuses on Marcia Clark (I think ep. 6) is one of the best hours of television I've ever seen.

The episode of the OJ series that focuses on Marcia Clark (I think ep. 6) is one of the best hours of television I've ever seen.

The casting for that series was phenomenal. I thought Cuba Gooding did just an OK job as OJ but everyone else was perfect for their role (Travolta especially as Shapiro).

Thanks, I'll go back to that one at some point. Sounds like it's on par with the Getty and Versace series.

I liked the Versace series maybe slightly better, but probably because I didn't know anything about it going in.

I liked that Versace really fleshed out the characters of the victims and those around them (Judith Light and Mike Farrell in particular were fantastic). I thought dedicating the style of some episodes to Miami Vice and the like was a nice artistic touch. The only thing that really disappointed was that Cunanan's end was altered for dramatic effect. I thought the real suicide story was a perfect statement on what a coward he was.

Thought the pilot was great but the first season progressively lost steam. Been sitting on the season finale for like a month trying to finish it. Probably won't watch season 2 tbh.
