The pandemic has kept many of us from leaving the house, but honestly, why would you want to? There is too much TV to watch to go outside. Outside doesn’t have Hulu or Netflix or HBO Max. To encourage you to stay home and stay safe, comedian/writer Rima Parikh and myself (two people who watched just as much TV in the Beforetimes) will be diving deep into the shows we’re loving or lovingly hate-watching, social-distance-style, over Google chat.

BW: Please do!

BW: I also find it fascinating how Darren Star is obsessed with trendy young women who work in media without seemingly ever talking to young women who work in media. For example, why were we not consulted?

RP: Do you think Darren Star is mad that he didn’t make this about TikTok.

RP: OK what a fucked up thing to play for . . . laughs?

BW: It feels as if there’s almost no attempt to make Emily likable.
