After one episode, Lodge 49 is far better than I'd expected, and every bit as meandering. I'm enjoying how efficiently they're getting their character and story bits in-- so they can basically spend the rest of the episode "just kinda hangin' out." It really does feel very... Californian. Nothing happens, but it brings great ambition to that nothing.

@LeDiva A bit, yeah? But it's got a much more leisurely pace than any Coen or Coen-adjacent production I've seen. It's got a much gentler touch than Lebowski, and... honestly, the humor almost feels more like Ken Keelerish? Just that, so much of it comes from constant little subversions of the joke you're expecting. And it's been pretty sincere about its occult/Pynchon leanings so far. Yeah, in general it just feels a lot more... earnest than Lebowski? More character than plot driven.

@LeDiva Oh holy crap, and I think that's the late Trish Keenan's Broadcast dubbed over the final scene. OK, I am in love with this show. :D
