Do By Friday

I really like hearing Merlin and Alex talk about whatever each week with a thin veneer of an outline/structure.

I liked the mission impossible bit but oof this is hard to listen to

This show used to be the brightest part of my week. Then the funny one got cancelled & booted from the show and for some reason (maybe the patreon cashflow) they decided to just keep on trucking every week as if nothing happened. People gotta eat I guess. Everyone has their reasons. I like Merlin and Alex as people and really want to like the show but there is just nothing here anymore. They had a good run, but it's over. That long tail of five star reviews may keep bringing people in, but every time I try to listen again it just makes me sad. Imagine your favorite TV comedy but suddenly one season the main character dies, they fire the writers and remove the laugh track, and now the tragic brokenness of the actors - which used to somehow accent the comedy - is all that is left, as they dance around on an empty set with no real destination.

This is a funny, if sometimes offbeat, show. I usually save this show for Friday afternoon as the perfect beginning to my weekend.
