Nine years after its premiere I still remember how much I hated this show. It was the only thing going on HBO at the time iirc, and I watched due to the hype. I could only make it through the first two seasons - and that was a rough slog - hoping for some answers, but none appeared. I am a big fan of so many amazing HBO series - quality, thought provoking and dense - like The Wire, True Detective, Six Feet Under, and, of course, The Sopranos. This show not only failed to resonate with me, it was uncomfortable to sit through, it made no sense, and I found all of the characters unlikable. Ugh and the smoking people. That grossed me out. Nope.

Love, Lizzo
(2022)
I thought I was going to LOVE this...

Lizzo superfan here. VERY disappointing. Clearly, Lizzo had no creative input in the outcome. She's not even listed as an EP on her own "documentary". It was part Lizzo's past, part album, part inclusive messaging, but not enough of any of these. I actually signed up for HBOMax just to watch this. IMO, this was put together hastily to pump up sales for her new album for the holidays. Yes, I'm that jaded, and I feel like a sucker for watching this 90 minute disservice to this insanely talented, gorgeous, powerful woman and her beautifully inclusive message. Epic fail for the EPs & the director.
