I...I just finished watching the finale of Season 5. I think it's a great show--clever and well acted with interesting comments on Silicon Valley and workplaces beyond. Although I tend to dislike the closing credit music which is usually some form of rap.<br /><br />However, I never liked the character played by T.J. Miller which, from what I read, was just his real persona. And I'm sure he was probably a terror to work with. <br /><br />But the complaints that nothing was done about his behavior brings to mind other workplaces where those in management (mostly male) are either behaving inappropriately or looking the other way. So what was happening on the Silicon Valley set was not unusual. In Hollywood, it's rare for a studio to dismiss someone they think they need because of complaints. As a producer once told me, she could work with a "high maintenance" actor if he/she delivered. TJ was that character and it was obviously thought he was delivering what the script called for...until he didn't.<br /><br />So, I must say Season 5 was much more pleasant to watch without his grating character. I look forward to Season 6 which is more than I can say for Season 3 of Westworld. But that's another posting.barryearlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047665760261437156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-10047756436789885992018-07-20T22:59:01.363-04:002018-07-20T22:59:01.363-04:00t.j. miller's first appearance a few minutes i...t.j. miller's first appearance a few minutes into episode one caused me to immediately stop watching the show, how anyone could not see his repulsive personality is beyond me.northalabamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972806479237521858noreply@blogger.com
