When I saw the hat I did start to wonder whether the show is just one big troll.

I think about this often, but my experience of this group is that they're *very* sincere, so I'm just baffled.

Maybe it’s The Emperor Has New Clothes Syndrome.

I wasn't able to get through season one because I found it cringe. Should I revisit, and give it another chance?

It's still just as cringey (at times even more so), but Jennifer has seen the first six episodes and says it gets better starting episode 2. So maybe can start watching again this season?

Agreed, it does get better and less cringey. Honestly you could just pick up at episode 2, you wouldn't miss a thing (except the discourse about how bad episode 1 is). I'm not promising greatness, just better-ness.

Also -- have you guys watched Sirens?

I have! Overall enjoyed it. It's soapy and ridiculous, and I'll watch Meghann Fahy in pretty much anything.

Loved it, and now I've moved on to The Better Sister. It's getting juicy and complicated, I recommend!

Do you remember when Carrie ran in the snow in those white boot heels (her pajamas, a fur and sequin hat) - this was the first movie? She was going to see Miranda on NYE in that Chinatown apt she had when she left Brady. What I'm trying to say is that she runs with inappropriate footwear.

This is very true! And now I can't help but wonder...have we ever seen Carrie wear sneakers?

OMG where have you two been all my life? The first thing I said about the S1 premiere was that they wasted that entire episode. The show should have started with her opening the door to Miranda with the EMTs wheeling Big out.
