I totally get the people (including you) who have decided the show isn't really for them. It's clearly not for everyone, and I've known that from the start. What I find baffling are the people--many of them smart, critical viewers--who seem to be missing everything that the show is about. Like, I have a friend who watched every episode of seasons one and two and still wasn't sure which one was Stan and which one was Gaad. And there's a critic who does a podcast with Andy Greenwald who's constantly saying that every episode is the same as the last one, and nothing ever really happens in them. I'd love to talk about that at some point and see if we can crack what all that's about, because it just seems so strange to me. I've been trying to phrase it into a "question of the week" for a while, but the right wording hasn't struck me yet.
