Will Ferrell is completely overrated and ruined the last season of The Office.
The characters in Succession have absolutely no redeemable qualities and I couldn’t force myself to care if they lived or died.
Louie Anderson’s portrayal of Christine in Baskets was the most mesmerizing performance of the last decade.

Damian and the One-Tooth Monster
Benji lost his watch on a Thursday. Damian knew it was a Thursday because earlier, standing on tip toes, nose pressed against the window, he’d watched the old man who drug their full trash bins to the street. He did this every Thursday for everyone in the neighborhood.

Eight is Enough
Here is another old television show that I watched in the late seventies and early eighties. It is entitled 'Eight is Enough' that is all about a family of eight children and the ups and downs of living at the time in history of inflation, the Gas Crisis, and various other personal and professional issues that affected us all at this time. The program starred Dick van Patten and Diana Hyland then Betty Buckley and a cast of characters of the children from Grant Goodeve, Willie Ammes, Adam Rich and others. To me this was an updated version of 'The Waltons' where the children all had a particular talent from writing, medicine, business, the arts, etc. I guess that was to be expected for 'Eight is Enough' was produced by the same company as 'The Waltons' for even Will Geer who played Grandpa on 'The Walton's played a character on 'Eight is Enough'. Watching these old or somewhat old and maybe outdated shows are still fun to watch and remember what you were doing at that time in history. By the way I have the Roku channel that allows me to watch some of my old favorite television shows from a bygone era.

So much agreement on Will Ferrel. I'm not his biggest fan tbh, but he did ruin that final run. Not seen Succession or Baskets, so like Randy, will take your word for them. Succession seemed a bit overhyped, I will say that! Great little critique, nonetheless
Loved "The Office" (watching in reruns as I type this), but it did drop off in the final season. I have not watched "Succession" nor have I seen baskets, so I'll have to take your word for it.
I don't know these shows, expect The Office. But the feeling where we don't care if certain characters lived or died is so relatable!
