SO GOOD, the quarantine episode where they were on zoom calls, probably i think one of the greatest and most poignant and real episodes of television created, and an example of how we as people can take the bad things that happen to us and use it to make incredible art.
they just captured the feeling of the pandemic, the joys, the downs, all of it, and presented it to us, in a celebration of all the ways we should be proud and grateful to be human, especially in the face of a worldwide crisis, they just nailed it perfectly, cried tears of laughter and sadness for about 20 minutes from that ep
I watched the 90s show and it brought me back to being a kid watching the 70s show.
It did bother me that the lead female is 15 and theyâre drinking, getting stoned and sexual stuff. Maybe Iâm getting old but Id prefer hiring adults that look like teens if it comes to those themes.
One thing which was pointed out to me about the intro was the virus originally spread in a Jakarta flour mill. In the first episode Joel and Sarah come close to eating pancakes (werenât made), biscuits (Joel makes up an excuse), cookies (raisin, not chocolate chip so Sarah wasnât interested) and birthday cake (Joel forgets to buy it as he worked late). All foods with flour as a base. We see the old lady being fed the biscuits and she later turns.
I would not have noticed myself. Brilliant writing.
Watched infusion on Stan, Matt Nable (Mr inbetween)wrote , directed and acted in a key role. Heâs very good and will win awards for this.
Also started 11.22.63, a show about a time traveller who goes back in time to prevent Kennedy assassination. Book by Stephen king and JJ Abrahams is involved.
That 70âs show was my favourite show when I was in my late teens. Although Channel 7 wouldnât put it on tv until 11pm on Tuesday nights.
I absolutely loved that 90âs show. I thought the pilot was a little bit sloppy as it found itâs feet, but Topher Grace is an incredible comedic actor and hadnât lost a beat with comedic timing. He was easily the stand out, and easily slotted back into the role. Shame they couldnât get him to do more than one episode.
But as a teenager of the 90âs and being a teenager who watched that 70âs showâŚâŚ Iâm the main target audience.
I finished the season, and it hit all the nostalgia emotions.
