Yeh this theme was my favorite part of season 1. Sports fandom sometimes seems a tick short of road rage to me. I love sports and know the feeling of losing your mind in the excitement, but some people become unhinged and that gives way to some wild / awful behavior.

I have a pretty big crush on Britney.

Gypsy is indefensibly bad. Several Naomi Watts boob sightings can't even save it.

Sad!

Had high hopes for a second there.

Appreciate all the Catastrophe mentions. I've skipped over it a ton of times but finally gave it a chance and it is fantastic. Great show!

It's understandable to some degree due to the huge rewards that sports offers if you do make it but considering how difficult it is to make it you would hope that the students would jump at the chance to get an education which would mean a way out of poverty if their football dream didn't eventuate. Plus getting an education would mean hopefully less chance of being broke within no time of finishing their football careers and opportunities that they wouldn't have had otherwise.

It's an interesting show as it shows not only the obsession with sport but also the US fervour with religion. I probably find it most sad that these students are having their hands held to make it through the system when other students from just as disadvantaged backgrounds don't have that level of support.

It reminded me of my high school and how the guys who were good at football just cruised their way through, not making any effort and being excused for bad behaviour that would have resulted in other kids being suspended or expelled. This behaviour then continued on into their adult lives. Yet despite all this they are held up as role models. It really irks me tbh.

+1 to all these. What an incredible story in the first place, and the access Fogel managed to get to Rodchenkov is just amazing.

I was intrigued the whole way, then the end sucked. Might be worth a watch if you're ok with that.

Wut

What's not clear? It was a good ride until the end imo. Great acting, intriguing story, etc. Plus, tits.

+2. Icarus was fantastic, thank you guys for the recommendation.

Is the show called "Catastrophe" on US Netflix? I can't find it.

Nevermind, just realized "Catastrophe" is on AMAZON PRIME.

It's on Amazon prime

Netflix Renews 'GLOW'

I got bored with it and never finished.

I just finished the 10 episodes on Netflix of "Dear White People."

I enjoyed it, and in its own way it was as good as the movie.

Looks like new wet hot is it. What a great show

The Void is pointless. Very bizarre film, would not recommend.

Watched The Founder. Interesting story.

the founder is a great story indeed.

I watched the 1st 2 episodes of Atypical, better than I thought it would be. Not bad.

I wonder how many players (if any) she's banged.

I would bet the under. She seems very professional and almost maternal in her role. And she's a single Mom with tons of self discipline. She might get down, but not with the players.

They don't cover that in the show?

Pass

Seems like she's extra stressed and in need of some serious D in S3.

Unfortunately, her choices in Scooba seem to be between that 400 pound dude at the restaurant, a bunch of kids, and the guy who roars like a lion and that's about it.

Netflix Cancels 'Gypsy'

No surprise there.

The religion episode of Last Chance U is unbearable.

As a whole, season 2 definitely not as good as season 1. Players not nearly as likeable, just complaining the whole time.
