Rental car companies seem so insanely helpless at their one job. You show up at the airport, reservation in hand, and they’re like “wait really? You wanted a car? Sorry, you totally caught me off guard.”
Every Taylor Sheridan series:
> 58-year-old guy with good intentions, a bad back, a nicotine problem, and an arsenal of clever one-liners
> unnecessary sexual dialog between guy and his young blonde daughter (“you let him do WHAT, honey?! In the Arby’s drive thru? On a school night!”)
> quiet Army Ranger type who wants to be left alone yet ends up in hand-to-hand combat every episode
> middle-age guys living in “man camp” environments, playing poker until 2 AM before getting up at 4 AM to work 16-hour shifts
> star-crossed relationship between an awkward white guy and a confident, assertive woman of indigenous origin
> CEOs regularly getting kidnapped by criminal gangs over minor business disputes
> aggressive product placement of beer brands nobody likes (“been a long day fighting off cattle rustlers, amigo; how about a cool, refreshing BUD LIGHT LIME, available wherever premium adult beverages are sold?”)
> young female lawyer/banker in Jimmy Choo stilettos casually schooling half a dozen middle-age men in business negotiations
> still 10x better television than anything else produced in the last 20 years
Shrinking is a beautiful and hilarious show.
Season 1 was about grief.
Season 2 was about forgiveness.
Looks like season 3 is about moving forward…
The Michael J Fox scene included here is perfect. Can’t wait.
