'Mrs. Fletcher' comedy series on HBO

Starts October 27.

That Murder, She Wrote reboot really took a turn!

by Anonymousreply 1September 27, 2019 1:20 AM

I'd watch Kathryn Hahn read the fucking phonebook. Jen Richards played Anna Madrigal in a flashback in Tales of the City recently and blew me away. Owen Teague was in It and It Chapter Two, and has recently been cast in King's The Stand. Bitch has a bright future ahead of him.

One episode features Cameron Boyce. RIP, lil' buddy. 😥

Anyone watched the premiere? Started out pretty frau-y, but then the naughtiness jumped out and it went super porny towards the end. Literally; can't believe they showed an actual porn clip on HBO. 😮

Hahn is amazing as always. Her son is such a douche but his bod is incredible, so... Looking forward to the next episode.

I can already tell I’m going to love Owen Teague as Julian.

r4 Yes, forgot to mention him, but I was intrigued by him the most.

by Anonymousreply 5October 28, 2019 11:35 PM

I usually like Tom Perrotta, but I wasn’t crazy about this book and the series shares its weaknesses—the two main characters aren’t interesting or likable.

Also, if there has to be an extensive full frontal scene with Mom, there better be one with Son.

by Anonymousreply 6November 5, 2019 10:14 PM

R6 I agree with you. The novel was well-written, but I just had to struggle to finish it, as I did not give a damn about either of the characters. I don't have to like them, but they have to hold my interest in some way.

by Anonymousreply 7November 5, 2019 10:18 PM

So far it’s okay, but just that. Okay.

I do love Kathryn Hahn though, so I will keep watching. She’s incredible!

The son's face is meh but hot bod.

by Anonymousreply 9November 6, 2019 7:42 PM

The second episode follows the first one - okay for the most part and then a bomb ending. This week's was just transcendent; cathartic with so much humanity when it could have easily been played for laughs. I like Hahn's chunky coworker and the trans teacher at that class she's attending. Great presence on both of them. Hahn is absolutely amazing. One of those fearless performances, I believe they're called.

But her son... man, I truly could not give less of a shit about his college adventures. Also, the actor looks thirty and it's throwing me off. Huge chest and then a teeny tiny butt. I cringe every time Cameron Boyce is on screen - such a charismatic actor, I can't believe he's not with us anymore!

That weird kid the son bumped into as he as leaving the counsellor's office... what's his story? He intrigues me.

by Anonymousreply 10November 6, 2019 8:42 PM

The son is supposed to be unlikeable and we assume there will be a reckoning. Also the nerd he bullied, in his HS, is going to fuck his mother, soon. Right?

by Anonymousreply 11November 7, 2019 12:11 AM

Also, for the mother of a. college age son, her body is SICK!

by Anonymousreply 12November 7, 2019 12:11 AM

I think she will fuck Owen Teague eventually, yes, though she seems to be exploring her lesbian side right now.

Her bod is banging, agreed.

by Anonymousreply 13November 7, 2019 12:24 AM

The son is such a hot loser. It must be odd to play that part. This is turning Into a show about almost unlikeable characters and their awkward situations in life.

by Anonymousreply 14November 24, 2019 12:52 AM

I kinda love this show at this point. That reversal of his mom exploring her sexuality while he - the previously cool hot jock - is now the loser who has to hang out with the same people he had bullied previously in high school, is amazing. His arc is still the least interesting, though. I wanted to slap that aspie kid, his dad, and the mom.

When she kissed the lesbian (bi?) woman and the awkwardness that followed... as painful as if it happened before me. Great writing. The trans actress is so adorkable and charming, I love her.

Cheech Manohar is so handsome in this show, it drives me nuts. Exactly the kind of guy I go for. 😩

I don't like the trans teacher because she is TROUBLE and unprofessional to the max! She's also a hack teaching a hack class. Is that a community college? Just some random adult ed class? What? In shows like this, about the awkward, I need ONE character who is not pitiable, maybe more cynical.

by Anonymousreply 16November 24, 2019 1:15 AM

Yes, she's a bit of a hack. And I didn't like how she told that guy he's the only one with talent. Oy vey.

Don't you think Mrs Fletcher is herself a bit of a cynical character? I only read her as pitiable in the premiere as well. She's amazing once she starts masturbating everywhere like a teenager - how empowering to watch!

by Anonymousreply 17November 24, 2019 1:24 AM

Are you a woman? I'm a gay guy and have masturbated through my life no empowerment necessary. The MTF teacher is coming on to a student. NO. Just no.

For the moment I'll keep watching but both mother and son need a shift into overdrive or I'm out.

by Anonymousreply 18November 24, 2019 1:29 AM

She is going though her second adolescence by exploring all the carnal possibilities available to her that she had previously closed her senses to because she got married to her high school sweetheart and then had to take care of her kid. The fact that she is now masturbating furiously on the floor of her kitchen while hammered and eating snacks, after having experienced a rebirth and coming into her authentic self in that majestic pool scene, is very empowering to watch for this homosexual, yes. Like a Naiad, freeing herself from the shackles of the patriarchy, which was the only thing she's known her entire life.

[quote]The MTF teacher is coming on to a student. NO. Just no.

It's not optimal, but the situation is a bit different when it comes to adult education, especially in a creative writing class that seems to be more of a workshop than a proper class with grades. And they're both middle-aged adults so no one should judge them, I think.

by Anonymousreply 19November 24, 2019 1:45 AM

It's an adult education class. The normal teacher/pupil rules don't apply. It's not like she has a duty of care over her students. If they're all of an age they can all fuck off down the pub when they feel like it, they're all old enough to deal with adult relationships.

In the coffee shop pick up scene, they held a shot on the son's face, and the Jackson White seemed really really pretty. I know he is AWG cute, so some of this is smoke and mirrors and magic of lighting and framing. I like when he got to let loose at the underwear party! Such a stud muffin.

I loved Cameron in that sushi place or wherever, when Jackson said in the bathroom he could've just told him he was gay. Cameron's "Whatever, we're good" was basically like... "dude, we're roommates, not friends." Love it!

Just saw the latest episode. Bitch needs to dump that girl, get on Grindr, and find a mouth that's into that hardcore stuff. Yes, boundaries should be established and throatfucking isn't really ideal for first time, but I hate that he now feels embarrassed about his very valid sexual preferences. On another note, I watch straight porn now and then and this is exactly what happens in most scenes. Straight guys can get so fucked up, watching that shit.

Hahn's character needs to start working at that sex parlour and become a huge slut.
