Brie Larsen, Lewis Pullman - Apple TV series that, on the basis of the first 2 episodes, is going to be very good. Period piece set in the early 60's. Brilliant chemist becomes celebrity TV chef, but it's not quite that simple.

 

Edited by RPM

On my list for this weekend

Hot take: Brie Larson is not a very good actress. This trailer did nothing to dissuade me from that opinion and, in fact, deepened my belief.

I haven't seen any of the Captain Marvel bs because, excuse me it's bullshit. But I did see her in United States of Tara early in her career and could tell she was going places. Rampart, Don Jon, The League, 21 Jump Street... she's built a decent resume across the acting scale.

My wife really likes the book this is based on, so I will be watching it.

Enjoyed the 1st two episodes, but I hope Brie stops imitating a robot soon.

If sex with Brie Larson is wrong I don’t want to be right.

It’s Apple so… no boobs. That’s a shame. 

It would have really amped up the rape scene.

New episode dropped, doggone it.

If they had taken out that scene, it probably would not be TV-14 or whatever, and more parents could watch it with their kids.

But then you lose the Baylor viewers.

I’m m really enjoying this so far.  I think Brie really nailed her character.  Also, I knew as soon as Evans left for that last dog walk what was going to happen

This is a really good show. Brie is killing it. Pullman is going to be a very good actor, if he can shake the Bob roles.

Even if you think that, it actually works for this role.

That's correct. I have a son with the same kind stuff going on and she's excellent with her portrayal of it. 

My wife read the book and pushed to watch it together. I really like it. I'm trying to figure out if the book is female beach reading or something more, because if it is, I want to read it.

I’m enjoying the show also.  My wife’s book club read it and all thought  it was a great  book.

Not just chick lit, will be reading shortly.

Where is this female beach?

Down at the lake.

I don't think I've seen her in anything other than car commercials and her IG (I'm not a Marvel person)

but yeah, she's pulling the role of socially awkward, feminist chemist in the 60's fairly well...to me.

Nice wrap up. 

I listened to the audiobook when it came out and thought it was just okay. Admittedly could be due to audiobook vs. actually reading the book.

I just finished the TV series and thought it was great. A rare case in which the screen version is better than the book version for me.

Hot take: Brie Larson is not a very good actress. This trailer did nothing to dissuade me from that opinion and, in fact, deepened my belief. 

So she’s like the female Nick Cage, complete with Academy Award in tow?

Overall I enjoyed the show. The negative for me was that it jumped around a lot and struggled to find coherency and consistency. For example, the dog was suddenly the narrator, then it wasn't. The misogyny in a male-dominated workplace and the way a woman requires cover from the top in order to be successful at a big job is something I don't see often on US shows. The kid was cute as hell and there were indeed some very good lessons taught.

I wasn't paying close attention during the beginning of that scene because I just got up to grab something to drink and then sat back down and once it had my full attention.

Strange, I thought about this series the day before you posted this because I couldn't find anything interesting to watch. Guess this is a sign its time for a rewatch.

Just finished a proper binge. 
 

enjoyed it very much. 
 

I laughed. I smiled. It may have got dusty at times. 
 

Another Apple TV banger I think
