Dopesick had been on my watch list for a while, but it's a drama about drug abuse in a foreign country, so no urgency
After 10 hours of binge watching, I went and bought the book
This was so enjoyable by personalising the opioid epidemic (except for members of the Sackler family - the series definitely didn't humanise them!).
In my mind, it is one of the few things where casting has been a huge part of it's success - with a special call-out to Michael Keaton

Damn Eugene left the show?!?!
To everyone asking why this is not Season 3:
Netflix divides each Season in 2 Parts.
Episodes 01-10: Season 1 Part 1
Episodes 11-20: Season 1 Part 2
Episodes 21-30: Season 2 Part 1
and so on...
LISTEN don't read anything about this. don't watch a trailer, don't do ANYTHING except this:
set aside 3 hours on a not-weekday.
get your favorite bottle of liquor or favorite 2 bottles of wine.
Start watching and drinking at the same time, and don't stop until the finale.
if you follow my instructions precisely, then you'll have an absolute blast.
IT IS A CHALLENGE the first 5 episodes but trust me, it's so fun
Although wrapped in comedy, this series was no less exciting in mystery than other serious murder mystery series.
Selena Gomez's chemistry with Steve Martin and Martin Short was really gripping.
The entrances were very weak :/
A failed attempt to return a certain pulp essence to horror stories for Shudder. The involvement of Greg Nicotero as a writer and director shows his interest in recovering the homage by Stephen King to the comics of the 50's in "Creepshow" (George A. Romero, 1982). Stories are loose, unimportant and poorly developed. Even a direct tribute like "Night of the Living Late Show" (S2E5) feels less succeed than it should.
My least favourite season of the series
I feel like this season took a dip in quality in comparison to the first two. It did have some good moments though, for example I liked the gas station robbery scene and empty house ending.
It's starting to get better (4 eps in) but its still pretty average compared to the great amount of adult animated comedies (Harley Quinn, Final Space, Rick and Morty and South Park, etc.). Jake Johnson's character is really annoying and his character, really unlikable.
The should have been 5 maybe 6 episodes...It has been so dragged out that it became so uninteresting...
Great New Series of Big Mouth!
Glad they renewed it for season 4 and 5 (:
Black Mirror went from sick, dystopian futures to... VR romance, social media and a kid's comedy with Miley Cyrus.
I see why shows get worse over time, but I can't wrap my head around the fact that Charlie Brooker is responsible for both the masterpieces that this show has produced and the big question mark that is this fifth season.
