HBO is still the leader in quality programming. And imho, the best show currently airing Euphoria is coming back for a second season. S1 was Rue's (Zendaya) perspective on the world. S2 will be seen through Jules eyes...I've already mentioned what an awesome actor Hunter Schaffer is.

 
The young stars are already getting choice roles. Angus Cloud (Fezco) has been cast in Tom Hardy's Vietnam epic.

 
The Big Basque (Australian via San Sebastian) gained many fans, even though Nate was completely fucked up.

 
I was watching the NFL playoffs until I got a notice that the Euphoria Specials were online - don't know what happened to the Bills.

The Specials delve into the psyches of Rue (Zendaya) and Jules (Hunter Schafer). The Rue episode was ok, nothing new 7.5/10, the Jules episode was harrowing 10/10.

The surgeon who did the transition on Hunter Schafer is extremely talented, if someone told me she was once a boy I would have told him/her to get out of town. The gaps from S1 are explained. In the E3 expose Jules gets placed in an asylum by her mother but we don't get the full reason why. Hunter Schafer puts so much detail into Rue that you can't look away. I wasn't expecting the Gregg Allman gait. She's such a tortured soul that she makes Rue's hardship almost trivial by comparison. Hunter Schafer also co-wrote the script with Sam Levinson (Barry's son), I'm assuming that Jules darker angels come from her own life. Painful though it is, I'll probably watch it again.

Kaitlyn Jenner doesn't look like this.

HBO was the brainchild of Charles Dolan, father of current NY Knicks owner James Dolan. After Ted Turner broke the mold against the Big Three, he wanted to create a channel that would be a Supe version TBS. He didn't get the sports portion right, he was too much of a penny pincher to pay for prime sports content. Then the company changed format which effectively left boxing in the dust. It started with the signing of Tom Fontana (Homicide: Life on the Strets).

Interesting comparison, Skins went on too long. The initial format went downhill fast with the introduction of two new student bodies repeating the same old same old. Euphoria can't go beyond three seasons, Zendaya and Hunter Schafer are irreplaceable.

The title is inaccurate.

So Disney+ latest piece of trash, Wandavision, isn't tracking very well. Not even remotely close to the numbers The Mandalorian pulls in.

There are to reasons for this, a) it's stupid, b) Paul Bettany is an arrogant piece of trash who thinks his shit is made of gold. He got really dumb with his arrogance, he baited a pit-bull. He publicly shamed Tom Hardy, in his mind's eye for being a bad actor. For his arrogance he got laid out horizontal, Hardy ended up temporarily black-balled from Hollywood. Vincent Kassel stopped Hardy from laying waste to Bettany's face, they spoke about the incident years later.

In other news S2 of Euphoria was postponed due to Covid-19. In the meantime Zendaya and John David Washington made a film together.

 
Vincent Cassel, even though he's a Frenchie, is no slouch either. He's a master of Brazilian jujitsu, his work is mostly in french films, but he has done his share of English films....and he was married to Monica Belluci.

 
So now we know where the Archie Slap came from. Mark Strong was Tom's best man at his wedding.
