i'm on my fourth rewatch and just finished the episode where Gretchen takes Jimmy on a sadness tour after Ronny's death (Men Get Strong)

there's a moment at the end, where Jimmy stuffs all of Ronny's shit into his drawer, closes it and officially declares that he's free of him and thus able to move on with his life, only for the drawer to open up as soon as he leaves.

this completely destroyed me because we're all aware that death isn't something to quickly and easily process through and it wasn't until the end of the episode did jimmy ACTUALLY believe that something worked only for him to be wrong.

god, this show is amazing

(off topic, but this is a really good song: disease

How many times have you watched the show? Also, how close together have you rewatched? I've personally have watched the show in it's entirety around 10 times, usually twice a year. I'm trying to space out the next time I watch so it doesn't lose its sparkle lol does anyone else try and do this? I last watched about 4 months ago and I really want to again but feel like it's "too close" from my last binge

Apparently the show is leaving Hulu in 2 weeks. I just checked My Stuff to see if anything was expiring, and the show pops up in the Expiring section. 🥺

Everytime this song shows up on my playlist I think about your the worst. Miss this show a lot.

Hell and You, Amigo and the Devil

You're the worst shower thoughts.

Let me know what you think:

Honestly I'm always a really big fan. I thought he was characterized and portrayed really well as an alternate love option to Jimmy, and that the way their relationship went was a perfect kind of counter to pave the way for Jimmy and Gretchen's reunion. But I remember my first watch I was genuinely torn on which guy I wanted Gretchen to be with. I feel like she genuinely could've had a great life with him but part of her would always feel unresolved with Jimmy. What do y'all think

Fuck/marry/kill? Vernon Paul Jimmy

I'm doing a rewatch because things are weird for me right now and this show is a hug. I've also been getting into cooking a lot lately and every single kitchen montage this show gives me makes me perk up a little bit. I don't suppose anyone knows any of these recipes? I don't imagine FX was kind enough to post them online or anything.

My head was down looking at my phone when I heard a voice memorized from the phrase “What am I a sucker?”

As per title. He's popped up in the second episode of the new series of Only Murders in the Building and it looks like he's going to be a series regular (and murder suspect!).

Just started watching from the beginning. I watched the first season or two when it aired originally, but somehow lost track of the show. I remembered laughing at the pilot and started to get back into it.

Jimmy was ahead of his time and passed the trick onto Gretchen.

So I (32M) was recently invited to my ex-girlfriend's wedding (let's call her Becca). To give you context, I'm an esteemed novelist and she left me to marry some surgeon that acts like a frat boy well into his forties. I truly think she invited me purely to rub her new relationship in my face.

I decided to attend anyway and at one point during the wedding, I told her that her marriage to this idiot would be a complete disaster. I likened it to a burning building and said that I mainly attended so that I could tell everyone I was there when they installed the faulty wiring, so to speak. She didn't take it well even though she knew better than anyone that I enjoy a good heckling.

I may have also hoarded all of the disposable cameras that were distributed to wedding guests and used them all to take pictures of my dick. She also did not find this prank funny but her husband thought it was hilarious.

But what seemed to upset her the most was that after the wedding, I met her sister's best friend (that Becca strongly dislikes) and we ended up hooking up later that night. Not sure if it will lead anywhere but us meeting at all seemed to really bother Becca.

AITA?

Also, you can purchase my novel "Congratulations, You're Dying" on Amazon and in various bookstores in Los Angeles.

for me, it's the tragic yet comedic crumbling of Killian's life

I've loved this show since it aired the first episode. Doing a rewatch and damn this episode slaps.

Some of best writing for television I've ever seen.

The pathways each of the characters make in this episode are fascinating. Where they started vs where they ended the episode plays on the typical restrictions of a bottle episode.

But this show loves to invert common experiences to the share the serious shit with some obsidian-level dark humor.

So bottle episode, and the characters cannot flea, so they must actually have these conversations that had been building up all season long.

Immediately following a wedding.

And then a "friend" gives birth to a baby just when the serious shit goes just a bit too far for everyone's liking.

But a master class in 24 minutes.

I wanted to look up the writers in the credits but Hulu just crashed. But as always, give the artist credit whenever the modern world lets you.

Bravo Stephen, Philippe, and Eva.

This show is timeless and so very underrated.
