Carole & Tuesday

20260117: I finished the series today (technically at 20260118 12:10 AM). Enjoyed it. Some good songs for sure.
(English audio, English subtitles)

S1E1
not a bad first episode. so far the mars setting feels a bit of a weird add. like it's futuristic and yet... it's specifically mars as opposed to some random planet. i guess. anyways... character setup is good. focus on four characters. for a show ablut carol and tuesday though. the manager giy is clear where he would come into play but what about this aspiring singer. maybe ahe acts as the foil or competition to carol and tuesday?

S1E3
hehe. unexpected (burning music sheet) but ertegun was not at all upset.
wait is that because he told them to burn their music so she decided to literally do it
20250922

S1E4
aww.. that robot is a fake. just sold himself for cheap and get beer
hehe not bad actually. i mean they got a bad deal out of it seeing as roddys limited edition robots are broken and seems like the car got totalled. and well I mean it is "bad" but its also not bad. there's no plot but it's more like one of those music videos with no meaning

S1E5
that's cool how her brother heard her and left to leave her be
20250922

S1E6
i figured joshua would perform but i didnt quite think of what that implied of the story for carole and tuesday.
i like that they tried (even though tuesday had her inhibition lowered by alcohol) and happy that crystal talked to them.
20250923

S1E7
that would be too easy (if the show was their ticket to being famous)
hehe their handshake
20250923

S1E8
wait what. he was rapping in his talkingwith them and then he bust out opera
though like why is this a surprise to the judges. well I guess they didn't watch the interviews that passed these finalists? like in American Idol, viewers would know what contestants are capable ofthat was nice.
it's not like pop appealing but it has a warmth.
hehe the AI said something about soul and then jokes that it doesn't know what soul is
I feel like passing first round is of course. and I would say they make it to finals against angela, and... somehow angela wins.
huh angela says she hates it, but I thought she would have liked it; if anything she's jealous of what they have
20250923

S1E9
hehe that's catchy. cursing with melody (but unfortunately disliked)
wow that girl just bit her... yikes
20250923

S1E10
20250923

S1E11
dang. that's so mean. especially considering Tuesday was so concerned about Cybelle
hehe. durian commercial
oh, Roddy will see Cybelle in the background
aww. she didn't get to give her gift
20250923

S1E12
I'm glad her brother got a chance to tell her he saw her perform
this song has a Rihanna sound to it
nice. this song of Angela's has soul behind it. I guess it also shows that AI guy has some heart (in fact, perhaps he's inspired in part by Carole and Tuesday)
Disqualified? What a weird rule
hehe. Even Ertegen stands and sheds a tear
20250923

S1E13
probably her dad
she was totally slipping them a hint (being nice while pretending to be mean) (Angela)
ha! the appearence of the producer as a total mad man with an axe is awesome
20250929

S1E14
all the cigarettes
they show us the scar on Dan's hand
him telling her his story made me teary eyed
wow. they did that well. she turns, yells "Dan!" and I thought she would have run up to him, but she breaks that expectation and just waves (no tears fall but there was like a second rush)
20250929

S1E15
oh wow. desmonds final song.
20260116

S1E16
sweet ending
20260116

S1E17
smile whoami [oh I forgot, that's like his slogan]
well dumb of him but anyways he is bankrupt but he can just do a show to make money right
how strange i would have thought he get carole and tuesday to sing for him since after all they let him use their kryboard... a small but important favor
20260116

S1E18
hehe lack of negotiation
dang how shady. in the other episodenjerry said he put things next step in action. so probably he arranged for the bombing
hehe. heart broken
20260116

S1E19
even if Angela wasn't doing a song with Ertegan, following up his act alone seems tough
oh wow. that's next level. he made like a decoy. but maybe the smart AI music guy [Tao] would deduce as much...
huh. Tao figures it out kind of late ("he's a decoy!")
wow. that's a crazy stalker (gonna shoot the person he was previously protecting)
the audio is "the frequency of this will immobilise you" but the closed caption is "kill you in an instant"
I would say, even though Angela gets a song, Carole and Tuesday are doing an entire set
personally though, this song isn't that great. her other song (I think episode 12) was much better; they have the crowd react here, but I think that's just for drama
cause the thing is Angela also has a powerful voice, but it got lost among all the electric beats; imagine if instead she was a featured artist on one of Carole and Tuesday's songs
20260117

S1E20
Bad news has got to be that Angela was also nominated
Considering they were nominated without having a top ten song, I would say that's an achievement without even winning
That rap was tight
wow. that was awkward (Angela's mom goes off and mentions some things about adopting and what)
20260117

S1E21
Oh dang. Angela didn't know she was adopted
when she asked Carole what song they should end the album with - I thought it would be interesting if they got Amer as a feature artist
crazy that Toby jumps in on the organ. I once watched a video that made me realize how difficult the organ is. apparently in addition to the hands, the feet do a lot of work as well
oh wow. Crystal. Okay. like earlier when he was gonna hunt someone down, my first thought was the person he knew from a couple episodes ago, but she's kind of not popular and he wouldn't have needed to ask for a favor. I think if I thought further I would have deduced Crystal.
it's pretty amazing she showed up to ask, as opposed to just like... phoning them or Gus telling them that Crystal agreed
damn. things are getting heated (Tao ready to attack Schwartz)
20260117

S1E22
Dang. Last words
hehe. Steve Aoki?
I think in-story, this song with Crystal is underwhelming, but on its own, the song sounds good; not the best but good
wow. where did this song come from? she's been writing it? or this was the song Tao wrote for her?
wow. collapse...
credits show her being rushed to the hospital
20260117

S1E23
dang. this artist [Skip] being arrested
Don't they need to write the song?
ah right. they want to invite Angela (Pyotr and GGK; "there's one more person we need to invite")
at least he's upfront with why he feels the way he does
oh. Desmond didn't pass away. he just... went into a coma?
as with the last episode, the credits in this episide also advance the story
20260117

S1E24
wow. what a reveal. first and second
I'm trying to remember what song I like has "mother mother mother" sound to it [oh I think the that one Black Eyed Peas song]
is there not going to be a rap verse? [oh, the one artist I thought who would be rapping is just playing the violin; which she explicitly showed]
hehe. "will be continued... in your mind"
