Synopsis: Ruben turns up at his estranged brother (Niall)'s wedding, acting as a catalyst for a revival of the last 40 years of their relationship.

Six episode limited series

He graduated to HBO, next is an Apple series, then an A24 produced series, then an indie film bought by NEON, then next thing you know he’s in a Star Wars project

HBO churning out dog s*** recently

Read this as a two and a half men reboot

I’ll be tapped in

Reviews ain’t looking too hot 😬

kinda figured this dude was gonna be a one hit wonder tho

Issue with blowing up with a story based on your experience is the question of are you really a creative with good ideas or did you just have some crazy s*** happen to you

Might be able to continue as just an actor tho

yeah the only thing that’s been consistently praised from the reviews I’ve seen are the acting.

based on what I’m reading it doesn’t sound like the dude is a bad writer necessarily, just very one-note. like I already thought Baby Reindeer, while well-written and well-made, was a difficult watch. and it sounds like this show is an even more miserable and depressing thing to sit through, and that’s just not what I want out of my tv shows tbh

Damn!

2 episodes deep as of tonight
I really like it so far

I'm caught up on this. Super rough watch, and not just because of how intense it's trying to be.

So much disbelief to be suspended. Not an ounce of empathy to be found for these characters.

I'm there watching the hospital scene in episode 4 completely stone-faced when I know I'm supposed to be feeling something.

I will say, the acting's good especially from both Nialls.

It's just so absurd and overly melodramatic that it's hindering my enjoyment of what could otherwise be a really interesting show, if everything was turned down a few notches.

I have not started this yet based off how intense people say it is

I really like this show.
I like that as the show progressed the story switches from black and white and Nial becomes very unlikable.

My fav show right now

watched an episode and a half of this & realized it wasn’t for me lol

The blow-up at the jail?

The awful final scene of them forcibly laughing, revealing secrets when you just know that Niall is obviously gonna tell Ruben the baby isn't his?

The mother being the worst of all time in every single episode?

Lol yeah this show didn't go over well with me at all in the en, unfortunately. Older Niall acted his ass off the whole show tho, kudos.

Nigga that ending was insane what the hell. Richard Gadd a special talent

This was really great.
What a talent.
Lots to think about

Surprised that this thread is still on the 1 page
