Good Morning, World


One of the things that's fallen by the wayside over the past couple of weeks of my busy-ness with my trip home and the Fantasia Film Fest has been television shows, several of which i have some catching-up-with to do, but I did managae the night before last to finally watch the first episode of Surface, Apple's new series that obviously has a casting director who loves MNPP as the cast stars MNPP-beloveds like Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Stephan James, François Arnaud, Ari Graynor, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and, seen here flaunting that full bush (top half edition) of his, Mr. Oliver Jackson-Cohen. (I previously shared the trailer here.) I know there have been a few more episodes released so y'all don't spoil anything for me please and thank you, but if you want to share your vague non-specific thoughts do so in the comments! I'm drawn in already, but mainly because of the cast -- it feels like it's hitting the Big Little Lies / Little Fires Everywhere with its mystery and world notes a little hard though, right? Like it's underlining all of the prestige-cable lady-story points really hard. We're rich and terrible people! We will see. Anyway hit the jump for one bonus gif (this scene shoulda been longer)...

It's very slow. I'll stick it out b/c of the cast, but 3rd ep in and it feels padded. We shall see.
