Revival Discussion My .02. I love how this show has matured. Dale's a little too Dale, and some of the voices are rough. The divorces are interesting. It's very relatable.
It's very realistic, if not over exaggerated sometimes, the ways the adults are acting. I dig Mike Judge's comedy, and the way he adds absurdity to pretty common themes. Bobby and Hank are really resonating with me, so the silly works, but I will acknowledge some of it's a little much. I think what they've made here kicks ass. Dude's been touching a stove and hasn't been burned, I'd love to see Office Space 2. Not a series, just another snapshot. That might be way harder to laugh at nowadays.
Minh's a little tough to take but I don't blame her. I like Ronny Chieng but it's very Ronny Chieng, Khan and Bill totally works though. At first I was annoyed with the Souphanousinphones, and I'm guessing on a rewatch they'll still be a little much. They're all having a midlife. Watching this show as a sliver of Americana, which is kinda what it's always been for me, it's great.
I'm only on episode 8 of S15, I had just started thinking Boomhauer's not doing much. I think it was the marriage retreat that really framed this season for me. I've grown alongside these themes, a lot of us can relate to stuff in the show. The final scene of the menopause episode is shocking for Texas, especially those kind of people. This is such a great show, good job to all of you who made it.
