Speaker 1 (00:11):
So much. You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mamma
Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waders that
this podcast is recorded on from Mamma Mia. Welcome to
the Spill your daily pop culture fix. I'm Laura Brodnick
and I'm Cassemie Lucas and it is Friday morning, which
(00:32):
means it's we can Watch time, where we take you
through the best new TV shows and movies that have
come out this week because we get to have a
little sneaky watch of everything before it comes out.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
We have some really good ones for you today. There's two. Yeah,
we're gonna talk about I'll start now.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
This one is dropping on Netflix and it's called Sirens.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Even the name, I.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Think, yeah, is alluring, very not to be confused with
that Elle MacPerson movie that came out like thirty years
ago or something completely because so many people said to me, like,
is it a remake of that Australian.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Movie, and like, no, no, it's its own story.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Kind of has the same vibes of like a White
low like big little lies, mystery, sexy, rich people, so basically,
and I think I probably got the white Loatus connection
because it stars Megan Fay, who.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Was actually in White Lotus in season two. If you'll
remember Daphne, she.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Was Daphne's she played you know, the wife of the
douchebag theo J Yeah, you know, who basically can all
with her husband's affairs and all of that stuff. But
so she's our primary character. She plays Devin. We've got
Millie Alcock who plays Simone, who they play sisters now
e Millie al Chock is actually Australian.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
You might recognize her from a House with the Dragon.
She's also going to be starring in the new Superman movie.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yes she's Supergirl, which is going to be Supergirl.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And also I think a lot of audiences first kind
of fell in love with her. She's on that Tim
mentioned show upright and seeing her and Sutton Foster together
because Sutton Foster, you know, all the basic girls in
Australia and one of them loved her on the ball
type Sutton, she was kind of the breakout star. Then
she did White Lotus. Then she was also in that
horror movie Drop Recently, which was like not a great movie,
but she's so great in it. So I feel like
(02:16):
at the moment people are saying like, I'll watch whatever
Megan Faye he's in, and she's so good in this.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
She is really good in it. So I've watched the
first two episodes and I am in trade. Also starring
Julianne Moore, who plays Mikayla. Now, she is the rich
sort of kind of think of like Nicole Kidman in
everything she's ever done.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And I was watching Julianne Moore play this like eccentric,
Is she evil? Is she not?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Like crazy witch woman? And she's like wafting through this
beautiful house and these gorgeous gowns in a crazy wig,
just being like completely over the top, and I was like,
oh my god, Somewhere Nicole Kidmen is raging that this
wasn't her.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Okay, So it also starts Kevin Bacon, but I'll give
you a quick rundown of the plot. I'm not going
to give you any spoilers, but basically Devin and Simona's sisters.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Simone is a PA.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Four Julianne Moore's character Mikayla, and it has this really
cult like environment. So that's there on this island, this
huge estate, and Devon is basically trying to save her
sister from what she believes to be a cult.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I love who I am here. I'm the only person
who has always had your back. He has my back.
I'm not the monster that you think I am. She's
got like a weird power all.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Of us do.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
These are the best times you got, like does.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Mikaela bitch has her talent so deep in your.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Brain okay, that you can't even tell you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
This is the happiest I've ever been.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
There's kind of this really creepy undertone, that really uncertain
feeling that you get, which often is influenced by the
music underneath, you know, when you kind of see these
scenes where it all looks happy, but then they've got
that creepy music over there, so there's kind of like
she's trying to intervene. It's kind of got this step
for wives vibe to it, but really really good, great
(04:15):
cast Meghan Fay, Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, and Millie Alcock.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It is a very like strong series.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And sort of seeing the juxtaposition between the two sisters
because one side you've got this like you still want
to know what's going on. In this like compound that
Julianne Moore's running and why are the staff like scared
of her? And what's everyone there for and what are
they hiding? And there's cameras watching everyone, so you want
to know that. And then the relationship between the sisters
is so good because Meghan Faiye's character Devin is like
rocket chick. She works some like fast food. She's sleeping
(04:45):
with her married boss, but she's also looking after their
father who's sick, and that's why she goes to track
down Simone, and that scene of her like trudging, like
she travels like twenty four hours on like buses and
walks because she's got no money that's seen of her,
like arriving at the mansion.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Where she's all disheveled and like me boots.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, trying to drink out of the hose on the floor,
Like that was so mean. Fai he's really good at
physical comedy.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah she did.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
She just kind of like goes all out of this.
And then seeing her like confront her sister Simone, who's
like beautiful wearing a pink gown and pearls and she's
had a nose job and like watching their kind of
back and forth and Devon have all of these like
she's all these crazy one liners throughout the whole thing.
Like sometimes I'm like this is just a funny family comedy,
and sometimes I was watching it thinking this is like
a sort of like almost like a psychological thriller.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The two things come together.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, Look, Milli Alcock does a really good job at
playing this naivete like really like she's scared but she
wants to do really well, like people please her, and
you know, Devin mcan Fae is trying to sort.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Of look after her a little bit.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
But I feel like Milliarcock did a really beautiful job
in this great performance by her. So that actually dropped
on Netflix yesterday. There are five episodes they've all dropped.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Give it a watch, and also feels like one you
should binge watch. I'm not always about the binge watch,
but this every episode ends on a cliffhanger that leads
into the next.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
No, I'm a heavy binge.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, well this is main feat.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
This is made for me.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, speaking of our good friend Nicole Kidman. Look that
woman's not out of a job. She's doing okay. Not
only does she have a thousand movies out this year,
but she also has a new TV show that came
out this week. It's Nine Perfect Strangers season two. So
Nine Perfect Strangers, the first season came out a couple
of years ago, based on Leanne Moriarty's best selling book,
and in that, Nicole Kimmon plays Marsha, who is the
(06:29):
founder of a wellness resort, and you had all of
these different people come and stay at the resort. Samara
Weaving was in it, and Melissa McCarthy and Asha Kenny,
and you kind of found out towards the end that
she was microdosing the more.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, I look, I am a huge fan of
anything Leanne Moriarty rights.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I mean, if you've seen Big.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Little Lies she wrote that, she wrote like basically anything
she touches turns to gold.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I think it's one called The Perfect Daughter that I
really like.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
So many because it's so many She's got so many
incredible books that are just made to be made into
TV series. So the first series of Nine Perfect Strangers
came out in twenty twenty one. So this season, what
is this season about?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So we've got a whole new cast, and it's really
the cast of these kind of shows that you it's
almost like they're doing a little bit of a White
Lotus thing. Not that I want to tie everything back
to that, but you know, that's the kind of TV
we love at the moment. Rich people in beautiful places
doing terrible things, behaving badly. It's all I want to
watch on TV. And nine Perfect Stranger season two has
done a similar thing where it's Nicole Kimman being like
the central figure, so she's almost like the White Lotus
(07:32):
if you will, of the storyline. And this time around
there's a whole new bunch of guests who are staying
at this health retreat that she's working at. She's had
to kind of flee the country because surprise surprise, from
the last series she's getting sued for microdosing people and
giving people drugs against their will. So this one is
set in a beautiful result in the Austrian Alps, which
(07:53):
is also lovely because you know, white Lotus is always beachy.
The first season of nine Perfect Strangers was like woodland, hinterland,
and so this is seeing everyone in this it's so
remote where they are, you know, they go up in
the big cable car, they drive through all these like
remote areas to get to this place that's sitting up
on top of the Alps, secluded. And the cast for
this one is amazing. So we have Murray Bartlett as
(08:14):
one of the guests who arrives in like just a state,
so people would know him from the first season The
White Lotus, but also his very important guest role on
the Last of Us.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
We've also got.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Annie Murphy Shit's Creek star, who plays Imagen and she's
acting a lot of the time opposite Christine Baranski who
plays her mother, Victoria. And it's so interesting because, like,
Annie Murphy became so famous from Shit's Creek and from
that very unique character and seeing her play like a
NEPO baby who's like at odds with her very rich
mother and is kind of like in her thirties and floundering,
(08:46):
and she's like all about wellness and she speaks in
a very cultivated voice.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I invited you all here because sometimes you shouldn't deal
with pain gently. Wait, this is no a spar She's
going to bleach our brains, darling. It is a cleansing
of the mind to recharge, to rediscover inspiration. Oh god,
we actually to.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Drink and Kristin Baranski. Her mother Victoria shows up with
some guy twenty years younger than her that she's like
picked up at a bar who she's brought along to
like have sex. And also they're all staying in the
same room. Like the sound is so good at the start,
and she's like about stay in the room with you,
and you're like, fuck buddy, which is so good, and
then the rest. Lena Olan plays Heleno, who's like the
head of the Result, and she has a very kind
(09:31):
of fraught relationship with Nicole Kimmens's character. Henry Golding's there
as Peter, like it's just such a good star sudded cast.
And then you just have all of these rich people
and they all have like different backstories, like you can
tell that people have secrets, and they're all at this
Result in the French Alps, and Nicole Kimmens Marshal in
a great week. It has to be said, like she
shouldn't feel bad about Julian Moore. I'm spying on them.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I do want to say, like, I mean, look, white Lotus,
you know, sirens, nine perfect strangers, big little lights. It
really does seem like it's a lot of them are
very similar.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, is it.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Too much or are we like are we into this?
How do we feel about this? Because I'm like, I
really like it, but I do feel like I'm going
to get over it soon.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I mean, it's just really tapping a particular thing that
people just want escapism in TV and like life, I
feel it is really hard for people behind the scenes,
and so you just do want to watch. There's something
so comforting about watching rich people in a beautiful place
have problems because it feels so far removed and I
think everyone's really people became infatuated with the last season
of White Loaders, like trying to figure out who's done
(10:33):
this and who's going to die, and like it's like
everyone wants to be part of a mystery. So the
fact that there's a lot of little mysteries in nine
Perfect Stranger season two, and same with Sirens, like you're
so desperate to know what's going on. It's like you
need that hook to pull you through. So it's like anything,
it'll go out of fashion after a while. And I'm
sure say, like nine Perfect Strangers the first season was
like quite good. I thought, this is quite good. It's
(10:53):
the thing is, it's no White Loatus, but it'll do
that list.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Nine Perfect Strangers. The book was not my favorite of Liege.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I still enjoyed it. I still read it.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
The series again, I didn't think it was like amazing.
I still watched it and enjoyed it. Yeah, but it
wasn't like my favorite thing the world. So I'll be
interested to see.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
This second season because I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yes, well, I've been watched the first two episodes and like, yeah,
like I said, it is quite good. It does the
trick if you're looking for something to really kind of
fill that void, and also have because the first two
episodes have come out on Prime video now for nine
Perfect same just season two and then after that it's
a weekly drop. And I would say, like you just
watch it for the ensemble cast performances, like you just
you want to watch it for Christine Baranski, you want
(11:34):
to watch it for Annie Murphy. It's not exactly as
good as White Lotus, but it'll do the trick.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Love that.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Well.
Speaker 1 (11:41):

we're gonna talk about I'll start now.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
This one is dropping on Netflix and it's called Sirens.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Even the name, I.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Think, yeah, is alluring, very not to be confused with
that Elle MacPerson movie that came out like thirty years
ago or something completely because so many people said to me, like,
is it a remake of that Australian.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Movie, and like, no, no, it's its own story.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Kind of has the same vibes of like a White
low like big little lies, mystery, sexy, rich people, so basically,
and I think I probably got the white Loatus connection
because it stars Megan Fay, who.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Was actually in White Lotus in season two. If you'll
remember Daphne, she.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Was Daphne's she played you know, the wife of the
douchebag theo J Yeah, you know, who basically can all
with her husband's affairs and all of that stuff. But
so she's our primary character. She plays Devin. We've got
Millie Alcock who plays Simone, who they play sisters now
e Millie al Chock is actually Australian.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
You might recognize her from a House with the Dragon.
She's also going to be starring in the new Superman movie.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yes she's Supergirl, which is going to be Supergirl.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And also I think a lot of audiences first kind
of fell in love with her. She's on that Tim
mentioned show upright and seeing her and Sutton Foster together
because Sutton Foster, you know, all the basic girls in
Australia and one of them loved her on the ball
type Sutton, she was kind of the breakout star. Then
she did White Lotus. Then she was also in that
horror movie Drop Recently, which was like not a great movie,
but she's so great in it. So I feel like
(02:16):
at the moment people are saying like, I'll watch whatever
Megan Faye he's in, and she's so good in this.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
She is really good in it. So I've watched the
first two episodes and I am in trade. Also starring
Julianne Moore, who plays Mikayla. Now, she is the rich
sort of kind of think of like Nicole Kidman in
everything she's ever done.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And I was watching Julianne Moore play this like eccentric,
Is she evil? Is she not?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Like crazy witch woman? And she's like wafting through this
beautiful house and these gorgeous gowns in a crazy wig,
just being like completely over the top, and I was like,
oh my god, Somewhere Nicole Kidmen is raging that this
wasn't her.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Okay, So it also starts Kevin Bacon, but I'll give
you a quick rundown of the plot. I'm not going
to give you any spoilers, but basically Devin and Simona's sisters.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Simone is a PA.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Four Julianne Moore's character Mikayla, and it has this really
cult like environment. So that's there on this island, this
huge estate, and Devon is basically trying to save her
sister from what she believes to be a cult.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I love who I am here. I'm the only person
who has always had your back. He has my back.
I'm not the monster that you think I am. She's
got like a weird power all.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Of us do.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
These are the best times you got, like does.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Mikaela bitch has her talent so deep in your.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Brain okay, that you can't even tell you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
This is the happiest I've ever been.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
There's kind of this really creepy undertone, that really uncertain
feeling that you get, which often is influenced by the
music underneath, you know, when you kind of see these
scenes where it all looks happy, but then they've got
that creepy music over there, so there's kind of like
she's trying to intervene. It's kind of got this step
for wives vibe to it, but really really good, great
(04:15):
cast Meghan Fay, Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, and Millie Alcock.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It is a very like strong series.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And sort of seeing the juxtaposition between the two sisters
because one side you've got this like you still want
to know what's going on. In this like compound that
Julianne Moore's running and why are the staff like scared

they hiding? And there's cameras watching everyone, so you want
to know that. And then the relationship between the sisters
is so good because Meghan Faiye's character Devin is like

(04:45):
with her married boss, but she's also looking after their
father who's sick, and that's why she goes to track
down Simone, and that scene of her like trudging, like
she travels like twenty four hours on like buses and
walks because she's got no money that's seen of her,
like arriving at the mansion.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Where she's all disheveled and like me boots.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, trying to drink out of the hose on the floor,
Like that was so mean. Fai he's really good at
physical comedy.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah she did.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
She just kind of like goes all out of this.
And then seeing her like confront her sister Simone, who's
like beautiful wearing a pink gown and pearls and she's
had a nose job and like watching their kind of
back and forth and Devon have all of these like
she's all these crazy one liners throughout the whole thing.
Like sometimes I'm like this is just a funny family comedy,
and sometimes I was watching it thinking this is like
a sort of like almost like a psychological thriller.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The two things come together.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, Look, Milli Alcock does a really good job at
playing this naivete like really like she's scared but she
wants to do really well, like people please her, and
you know, Devin mcan Fae is trying to sort.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Of look after her a little bit.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
But I feel like Milliarcock did a really beautiful job
in this great performance by her. So that actually dropped
on Netflix yesterday. There are five episodes they've all dropped.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Give it a watch, and also feels like one you
should binge watch. I'm not always about the binge watch,
but this every episode ends on a cliffhanger that leads
into the next.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
No, I'm a heavy binge.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, well this is main feat.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
This is made for me.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, speaking of our good friend Nicole Kidman. Look that
woman's not out of a job. She's doing okay. Not
only does she have a thousand movies out this year,
but she also has a new TV show that came
out this week. It's Nine Perfect Strangers season two. So
Nine Perfect Strangers, the first season came out a couple
of years ago, based on Leanne Moriarty's best selling book,
and in that, Nicole Kimmon plays Marsha, who is the
(06:29):
founder of a wellness resort, and you had all of
these different people come and stay at the resort. Samara
Weaving was in it, and Melissa McCarthy and Asha Kenny,
and you kind of found out towards the end that
she was microdosing the more.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, I look, I am a huge fan of
anything Leanne Moriarty rights.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I mean, if you've seen Big.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Little Lies she wrote that, she wrote like basically anything
she touches turns to gold.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I think it's one called The Perfect Daughter that I
really like.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
So many because it's so many She's got so many
incredible books that are just made to be made into
TV series. So the first series of Nine Perfect Strangers
came out in twenty twenty one. So this season, what
is this season about?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So we've got a whole new cast, and it's really
the cast of these kind of shows that you it's
almost like they're doing a little bit of a White
Lotus thing. Not that I want to tie everything back
to that, but you know, that's the kind of TV
we love at the moment. Rich people in beautiful places
doing terrible things, behaving badly. It's all I want to
watch on TV. And nine Perfect Stranger season two has
done a similar thing where it's Nicole Kimman being like
the central figure, so she's almost like the White Lotus
(07:32):
if you will, of the storyline. And this time around
there's a whole new bunch of guests who are staying
at this health retreat that she's working at. She's had
to kind of flee the country because surprise surprise, from
the last series she's getting sued for microdosing people and
giving people drugs against their will. So this one is
set in a beautiful result in the Austrian Alps, which
(07:53):
is also lovely because you know, white Lotus is always beachy.
The first season of nine Perfect Strangers was like woodland, hinterland,
and so this is seeing everyone in this it's so
remote where they are, you know, they go up in
the big cable car, they drive through all these like
remote areas to get to this place that's sitting up
on top of the Alps, secluded. And the cast for
this one is amazing. So we have Murray Bartlett as
(08:14):
one of the guests who arrives in like just a state,
so people would know him from the first season The
White Lotus, but also his very important guest role on
the Last of Us.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
We've also got.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Annie Murphy Shit's Creek star, who plays Imagen and she's
acting a lot of the time opposite Christine Baranski who
plays her mother, Victoria. And it's so interesting because, like,
Annie Murphy became so famous from Shit's Creek and from
that very unique character and seeing her play like a
NEPO baby who's like at odds with her very rich
mother and is kind of like in her thirties and floundering,
(08:46):
and she's like all about wellness and she speaks in
a very cultivated voice.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I invited you all here because sometimes you shouldn't deal
with pain gently. Wait, this is no a spar She's
going to bleach our brains, darling. It is a cleansing
of the mind to recharge, to rediscover inspiration. Oh god,
we actually to.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Drink and Kristin Baranski. Her mother Victoria shows up with
some guy twenty years younger than her that she's like
picked up at a bar who she's brought along to
like have sex. And also they're all staying in the
same room. Like the sound is so good at the start,
and she's like about stay in the room with you,
and you're like, fuck buddy, which is so good, and
then the rest. Lena Olan plays Heleno, who's like the
head of the Result, and she has a very kind
(09:31):
of fraught relationship with Nicole Kimmens's character. Henry Golding's there
as Peter, like it's just such a good star sudded cast.
And then you just have all of these rich people
and they all have like different backstories, like you can
tell that people have secrets, and they're all at this
Result in the French Alps, and Nicole Kimmens Marshal in
a great week. It has to be said, like she
shouldn't feel bad about Julian Moore. I'm spying on them.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I do want to say, like, I mean, look, white Lotus,
you know, sirens, nine perfect strangers, big little lights. It
really does seem like it's a lot of them are
very similar.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, is it.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Too much or are we like are we into this?
How do we feel about this? Because I'm like, I
really like it, but I do feel like I'm going
to get over it soon.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I mean, it's just really tapping a particular thing that
people just want escapism in TV and like life, I
feel it is really hard for people behind the scenes,
and so you just do want to watch. There's something
so comforting about watching rich people in a beautiful place
have problems because it feels so far removed and I
think everyone's really people became infatuated with the last season
of White Loaders, like trying to figure out who's done
(10:33):
this and who's going to die, and like it's like
everyone wants to be part of a mystery. So the
fact that there's a lot of little mysteries in nine
Perfect Stranger season two, and same with Sirens, like you're
so desperate to know what's going on. It's like you
need that hook to pull you through. So it's like anything,
it'll go out of fashion after a while. And I'm
sure say, like nine Perfect Strangers the first season was
like quite good. I thought, this is quite good. It's
(10:53):
the thing is, it's no White Loatus, but it'll do
that list.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Nine Perfect Strangers. The book was not my favorite of Liege.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I still enjoyed it. I still read it.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
The series again, I didn't think it was like amazing.
I still watched it and enjoyed it. Yeah, but it
wasn't like my favorite thing the world. So I'll be
interested to see.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
This second season because I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yes, well, I've been watched the first two episodes and like, yeah,
like I said, it is quite good. It does the
trick if you're looking for something to really kind of
fill that void, and also have because the first two
episodes have come out on Prime video now for nine
Perfect same just season two and then after that it's
a weekly drop. And I would say, like you just
watch it for the ensemble cast performances, like you just
you want to watch it for Christine Baranski, you want
(11:34):
to watch it for Annie Murphy. It's not exactly as
good as White Lotus, but it'll do the trick.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Love that.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Well.
