I’m all in. But I really hate waiting week by week for new episodes.

It's starting to lose me. Last week's episode was almost boring and this weeks episode had some interesting parts but most of it seemed stupid. There was a nice twist revealed in this episode, but I hope it starts picking up again overall.

Is this show making anyone want to do 'shrooms? No? Just me?

yes! DH and I were actually commenting that they look like false teeth. It makes her entire face look a little off or strange.

She has very quirky “Alexis from schitts creek” moments.

Agree. It's distracting. In the scene where she's talking to Melissa McCarthy by the pool in episode 2, I kept thinking it was Alexis.

YAS! I said the same thing to DH. She was doing an imitation of Alexis...it was weird.

^agree! Her American accent is bad and that's distracting.

I'm distracted by Nicole Kidman - in this and in Big Little Lies. I can't get past the wigs, thinness, and plastic surgery to appreciate her acting but I suppose that says more about me than her. The intensity of her look is actually consistent with her character. But sometimes I think, do we have to give every role to her?

When you buy the book & produce the series, you get a say in casting decisions. Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Kerri Washington and other women have committed to better roles about and for women. I don’t love all of her work, but Nicole Kidman works her ass off and wears many different hats in the industry.

Maybe be more concerned with putting the right person in the role rather than yourself?

The scenes with Kidman are completely distracting and I'm not thinking about Masha, I'm thinking that's Nicole Kidman. I know I'm in the minority on this, but I don't think she's that great of an actress.

Totally agree with you.

She was excellent in Big Little Lies. Somewhat distracting in The Undoing. Horrible as Masha.

NP and while I never saw the undoing I think Nicole Kidman in a stringy blonde wig with a fake Russian accent is so distracting. All I see is that description, not Masha.

I liked her in big little lies but think she does an awful American accent. I get distracted by her slipping up and don’t notice if her acting is good or not. Because all I think is this is someone faking an American accent. Maybe they should just make all her roles Australian.

This week's episode was my least favorite. And what was up with that weird scene between Masha and Delila?

I still can’t decide if I like it, it’s a bit slow and I’m pissed they killed poor Richie the goat. If they were on an island for days without food that’s one thing. But it was literally one day with no food, but they had a smoothie in the morning. It went all Lord of the Flies a bit too quickly.

Haha, I agree! I get hangry easily, but if I eat breakfast and I know I'll have dinner, I'll survive the day feeling a little tired. Definitely no need to kill a goat!

But they were being drugged at that point. If it really was a micro dose then they should have been ok...so I'm wondering if that's just a clue that they're doing more to them than microdosing.

I thought that at first, but I don't know. I'm not really feeling any chemistry between them. Maybe they'll just end up as really close friends?

I feel like we haven't really heard much from Lars. He's clearly building a friendship with Zoe, maybe they help each other the way Francis and Tony clearly are (McCarthy and football guy). But I don't know what Lars is there to work on.

I heard an interview with the Director. He said Francis and Tony are friend IRL and they changed some dialog while filming or I guess improved, and he likes how they connected on screen.

Makes sense. Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne (Bobby Cannavale's significant other) starred in Bridesmaids together.
