Lady Dynamite: Whole season or episode-by-episode?

May 21, 2016 5:08 PM

Lady Dynamite just dropped on Netflix this weekend. I'd love to hear responses, but I've accidentally binged the entire thing before thinking of starting a Fanfare post, and I suspect many of y'all also did.

Which should we do? It's a short season, but it's so good it probably deserves a post for each episode. Actually...did anybody else watch it all this weekend, or is it better that we all start over and let people catch up?

I'm about halfway through the season but I'd be fine with a whole-season post. Each episode can certainly stand on its own but I feel like there's so much to be said about the show as a whole that it might be worth discussing the entire thing.

In any event, it would be nice to start talking about it soon. Such a great show.

We're forcing ourselves to ration it to two episodes a night at my house ('cause, well... bipolar impulsivity would have us up all night binge-watching it otherwise) so if there's a full-season thread it'll take me a week or so to join in. But no problem if that's the way it works best for other folks. Love love loved the first two, anyway.

After watching episodes 8 and 9 last night I realized it might be better to do a post for each episode. There's so much to this show and I think I'll be rewatching it as soon as I finish the series so I can see what I've missed.

Sounds like a good idea would be to start with an entire season post for us who blasted through it, and then if there's a lot of interest that builds up, we can go back and do episodic posts.

Seriously, imo the best show Netflix has produced and one of the best sitcoms of the decade.
