Not exactly related to Jason, but to Tom who's playing main role...

Now I really want to know what happens in that show. 🧐
First 3 episodes should be out tomorrow on 🍏tv.
I just hope it will show up on some streaming platform soon, so we could watch it.

I am so pleased that men are speaking up about their mental health issues. My Dad fought in WWII in Africa and Italy and never once spoke of what he saw. He had Maleria as well on top of everything as well. He never even told me that. It damaged him. Too many men try to self medicate which is no help. I had great respect for Ritchie Edwards and Kurt Cobain and I still recall the shock at their loss so young in life.

Good on Tom for trying to sort things out. Maybe this generation are learning before it is too late.

They definitely do. Tom Felton in his book also says a lot about taking care of yourself in context of emotions and addiction.
It's good they are open about it, it might help others, change ways how mental issues are percived, and that's ok to not feel good every day.

Well. This review is awful. :roll:

https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the- ... eview-2023

Take one part “A Beautiful Mind.” Add a few dashes of “Euphoria.” Sprinkle in some Oscar bait-style writing, cinematography, and a ceaseless strings-heavy score. Èt voila! You have the utterly pointless and eminently skippable limited series that is “The Crowded Room.” At best, these 10 hours of Apple TV’s latest drama will provide some background noise while you fold laundry, but at worst, this is the shallowest dramatic exploration of mental illness in some time.

Here's another, better review:

https://screenanarchy.com/2023/06/the-c ... lowly.html

"I can understand why Goldsman chose to structure the series in this manner, yet I am not convinced that an episodic series at this length is as continually gripping as it's clearly intended to be. Minute by minute, it's slow going. In that sense, it's much like reading a novel that spends hundreds of pages telling a short story."
