I’m not entirely sure how boxing scoring works (I feel like 10-8 is the most "lopsided” I’ve seen), but Kendall just took Rd 1.

Brilliant start!  Also the soundtrack guy in this show is a genius. The music is always right on par with everything.

yep. I remember being blown away when in the penultimate episode of BrBa they closed the episode with the full intro song, the first time in the entire series we heard it in its entirety, and not just the chorus so to speak. This show seemingly puts different iterations of the intro song into every episode, and it never gets overused or feels out of place. Remarkable series, across the board.

he's a little too giddy though. Gonna need to tighten it up to really take on Logan. 

Roy is basically the Charlie Brown of this show.  If Logan ever goes down, it won't come from him.

I think the point is to show that he is mentally unhinged by all of this. That was some brilliant acting to show what a guy off the rails, drunk on his own supply looks like.

So when I say Jeremy Strong gives one of the best performances current only TV, you aren't going to drag it out sarcastically for a decade like you do with Wedding Crashers?

You’ll appreciate this Sit down with the composer for the show https://youtu.be/X0WzqanwlG0

For perhaps the first time I’m your life, you’d be correct.

The truth is that the only person who knows where the files are is Greg.  He’s the key to the whole thing, right?  He burned some of it but he kept the most damning evidence I’m sure.  So they make him look like he’s a clueless pawn, but dude might be the ultimate king when it’s all said and done.

I want to be in his shoes waiting for that $250 milly

It actually gets a lot better in the back half of season 1 and all of seasons 2&3.

I pay too much attention to the intro segment for TV shows. I'm keen on the classic jingles that were common for TV shows from the 60s thru the 90s, but I'm more interested in how the intro has become an art form.

Here's some that I love - both the graphics and the theme music. For these I choose to watch the intro every time, even when bingeing:

Sopranos "woke up this morning"

Big Little Lies "cold little heart"

House of Cards - The video work and moody theme music - perhaps my all-time favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy9ubIxYpcM

Succession - Great images suggesting how they became who they are, with a foreboding theme in the House of Cards style

On the other hand, it's hard to think of a worse intro than Apple TV's "The Morning Show" with pointless cartoon graphics and an annoying tune to go with it. SKIP

Have you ever watched B positive?  Season 1s intro was awful.  This season it the same song but different visually.  Still awful.

A filler/"this show isn't for everybody" episode. Sheesh, that was bland.

A little too HBO-Entourage-y too, with the "oh no Vince may not get the part" (Roys may lose the shareholder vote) , wrapping up nicely with "Vince got the part! Toast to Vince!" (Roys avoid the shareholder vote outcome they didn't want). 

This show hits more often than it misses though, obviously, so I'll deal with it. But a "Logan is having an episode, can his opinion/leadership be trusted?" centric episode in Season 3 is a little bit of a cop out/recycled angle we've already seen enough. Whoever directed this one gets a "f*** off" from me.
