Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH
THE JESSE ARMSTRONG REWATCH S1 E01: Celebration
•
Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten! From the Battery to the top of Manhattan! It's the perspicacious Firecrotch & Normcore reporting for duty, and we are back at the beginning of all things with THE CREATOR, Jesse Armstrong.
In the first of our week-by-week rewatches, we establish a dynamic that says 'I respect you, but I'm not awed by you.' And that 'I like you, but I need you to like me before I can love you.'
Did we bend for him? How much sage was burnt? And did he hit the million dollar homerun?
It's a magnificent effort. Magnificent.
