Date: August 1st, 2026 6:53 PM Author: Hyperventilating knife mother JfC seemed kind of goofy. it had elements of magical realism, but was generally too mundane for those elements to mean anything. from what i remember, a lot of it was a domestic drama with annoying and unsympathetic characters.
also, in terms of failed HBO prestige projects, Treme must be one of their biggest flops. they poured a lot of money into that thing, and nobody watched. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5888491&forum_id=2#50039738) |
