This Amazon show has put the nail in identity politics for me. I watched the first season and thought it was ok. Read a bunch of reviews and many were about feminism and white privilege and I just got a bit queasy and forgot about it. Season 2 came out not too long ago and I wasn't even sure if I should watch. Google some reviews and more identity politics. Yuk. Well, we watched it and it was amazing. After 6 or 7 episodes it finally hit me that despite my white skin I have NOTHING in common with any character. Nothing in my life was remotely similar to the people in the show. Not a single thing. Watching rich Jewish families spend two months in the Catskills was like watching Avatar. Unreal to me.
Easy answer - don't read reviews. I think the show is excellent. I love the writing and the actors are top notch.
spoiler... Susie and her plunger killed me. Not that she had it which was great but her attachment to it. Writing excellent as well.
Yup. But Tony Shalhoub really is excellent. I can't believe Midge is the same chick that was the prostitute from House of Cards.
spoiler.... His frigging romper outfit. It wasn't as bad as I expected. Want some tomato juice? GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!! I hope people are watching this.
It's catsgills or something like that isn't it? The only word that popped up was Catskills until just now. Catsgills? Maybe Trump's unprotected Iphone he tweets from is hacked!!
