What I'm Watching: Knock at The Cabin, Party Down, "Long, Long Time," and More

On four shows, three movies, two podcasts, and the TV episode everyone's talking about.

Adam Scott, Party Down, Starz

Here’s everything I watched this week, and what I thought about it.

The shows:

• I rewatched season two of the cult favorite show Party Down in anticipation of its comeback this month, and I loved it a lot more this time around than I did a decade ago. The cast led by baby-faced Adam Scott is unparalleled (and the Veronica Mars cast overlap is unreal!), it has a kind of Curb Your Enthusiasm-adjacent comedy style, and it does a great job making LA people the butt of every joke.

• Did anyone catch Pedro Pascal on Saturday Night Live last night? I haven’t actively watched that show in years but tuned in for him since everything he does lately delights me. The whole episode is really funny, but if you only have time to watch a few sketches, I recommend “Fancam Assembly” and “Lisa From Temecula,” the latter of which has some good old-fashioned character breaking from Pascal, Bowen Yang, and pretty much everyone else in the scene.
