I'm bummed you're no longer writing about AJLT, but excited for your future music posts! It's depressing the show never found the magic of the original.

it's extremely disappointing, but we also need to stop giving them good streaming numbers!!! if people didn't watch, they wouldn't keep getting renewed.

NOOOOOOOOO. I think I've only slogged through these episodes just so I could read your reviews/recaps. What a missed opportunity to explore life after a-certain-age for high-functioning and fabulous women in NYC. It could have been smart, savvy and sassy. Instead, much like women's healthcare, we are left by the wayside with an eye-roll and what are you complaining about? attitude.

it's SUCH a missed opportunity. watching the OG show just demonstrates how truly terrible the writing on AJLT is. they're doing the franchise a huge disservice; these characters were beloved and now they're nothing but caricatures.

thank you for reading, though!! this substack isn't going anywhere :)
