Better Call Saul for me. It felt like Breaking Bad but playing out at like 25% speed. Also Saul is a whiny bitch, I really lost patience with him when he gets to his “boo hoo being rich isn’t fun I don’t wanna work at a law firm anymore” phase.

Yeah I really liked the first season but sort of lost interest… honestly I felt like the whole modern-day arc was a waste of time. I thought they had plenty to work with with a lord of the flies type story just set in the wilderness.

I thought I left reddit :,(

Well, I mean convincing to the public at large. Yeah I know I guy, otherwise perfectly smart, that is convinced that aliens are real based on the cheesiest, most obviously faked videos from back in the 80s or whatever.

BY GOD

Yes. Get off the goddamn internet for a while.

Man what am I doing wrong? Still nothing from her. Oh well. She’s probably too good for me anyways :,(

-Very skilled songwriter. I don’t necessarily like all her stuff but I legitimately think she’s the best songwriter (meaning, composing music and writing lyrics) of her generation. Probably since Bruce Springsteen or Billy Joel.

-Very attractive and a good performer

-Well connected in the music industry let her get an early start/inside track

-obsessed with being popular. I don’t mean that in a negative way, but her primary objective with her music is to please as many people as possible. I think the documentary “Miss Americana” on Netflix explains that very well-at one point she straight up says “I just want people to like me” or something like that. That means her music/career has always focused on mass appeal as opposed to making more… limited-appeal music like most artists do at some point in their career

-she’s kept a remarkably clean image even through being famous for close to two decades. It’s very telling that the worst thing her haters can say about her is “but her plane uses a lot of carbon!” This means parents let kids listen to her, brands love her as a sponsor, nobody boycotts her, etc.

-one last thing, I think people love her songs because they feel like they’re true. Her songs have a very intimate, almost confessional quality that a lot of artists strive for buy often comes off as fake.
