The first episode of the new season of American Crime Story was pretty good. The first season was really great so i have high hopes for this one.

It's weird how uneven the quality of Ryan Murphy shows are.
Scream Queens had a good pilot too.

After that, ehhh

The first season was good but the second was indeed awful and the show is probably better off being done.

Yo for real. Murphy is only a director/producer on ACS, he isn’t part of the writing team for either season. And People vs OJ was all the better for it.

In fact I don’t think he wrote on Feud either and that’s the other best thing he’s ever been involved with

Jesus what a loving ego. It's one thing to push back against criticism, but yelling about how young and hip you are and nobody cool would ever bother listening to your critic makes it really hard for people to take you seriously.

It's not enough that the whole Aziz Ansair thing is polarizing as gently caress, but even the author herself is now stepping into it and making it worse when any competent journalist or PR rep would say "Don't loving do this, just say you stand by everything in the article".

The dogs aren't even doing anything entertaining, they have a stick and it's apparently a big loving deal. People are coming around to realize that dogs suck, so Big Dog is spewing propaganda as hard as it can to convince people that dogs are good.

The new series would feature an immigration twist and would follow the Buendias siblings, whose parents are unexpectedly deported to Mexico.

I don't see why it has to be a Party of Five reboot, just make that concept and it can be its own thing.

Also from that article:

quote:

In addition, Freeform is also developing a series based on the legendary Egyptian ruler Cleopatra, who, after being exiled as a young woman, decides to stand up against the patriarchy and fight back for her freedom and rightful place as heir. This tale will follow her rise and transition to becoming not only the first, last, and only female Pharaoh, but also the world’s most powerful person all while engaging in a classic love triangle that changed the map of the world forever.

Pretty sure there was another guy around at the time that might dispute that most powerful person in the world epithet.

All the reviews say so, yeah. Except it jumps around in the timeline a bit. I think it starts after the Versace murder and then goes back to cover the rest.

Enemy is interesting; Prisoners is outstanding. Jake G. is fantastic in both of them.

Some news host went after a woman recounting an awful sexual experience that can be seen as sexual assault for complaing about it, the 22 year old here is the woman who reported the story.

The reporter went overboard with her response, but I agree with her whole heartedly. That takedown by the host was deplorable.

Ahhhhh, gotcha. Didn’t realize a news host was ripping into the woman that came forward. Reading that, I misunderstood and thought they were asking for an on-air interview with the reporter and had maybe said something negative about the accuser in an email. I’m probably just dumb and bad at reading.
