AnimeIsTrash posted:Also all the USA shows, but I love that garbage. monk was fun and enjoyable burn notice had a very strong (for USA) first 1-2 seasons and woweee it went to loving poo poo real fast holy hell. they clearly wanted to filler it out and string along and the writing (especially fiona) went to absolute dog poo poo quick. fionas character handling was just ughhhh; just constanty flipping between im STRONG FEMALE EX-IRA SPY TERRORIST GUN EM ALL DOWN I LOVE GUNS to being weak cliche ~female jiminy cricket consciousness~ no michael no!! cops are people too you know royals pains was horrible right from the start though. woe is me im a mega billionaire in the Hamptons and my 18 year old son sprained his ankle but I just can’t take him to the PUBLIC hospital because it’ll ruin his future political career if it ever comes out he had broken ankle so I spent 500 million building a private ICU in our guest room just for us to use, plz treat him? and just played completely straight as if we were supposed to nod our heads and sympathize with hampton elite Mr Robot is the best show they've ever done and one of the beter TV shows i've ever seen, I was surprised that it was even a USA show at all. i have no idea how it lasted it's entire length that it did and easily could have been HBO Xaris fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Oct 15, 2020 |

Xaris posted:psych was genuinely a great show. just absolutely 10000% better than it had any right to be. Monk and psych are both really good. I rewatched both of them this year and while monk holds up, psych has a lot of very questionable episodes e.g. there is one where a white dude is raised by an asian family and talks with an asian accent the whole time. Yeah i'm not quite sure what was up with Fiona's character. She goes from being gung ho about shooting bad guys, to being super clingy and so dependent on michael, to feeling bad about shooting people which is weird because she's an arms dealer and an ex ira member. The first couple of episodes are amazing because she has a really bad irish accent which I guess they told her to just stop doing for the rest of the show. Bruce Campbell was on point and really carried the show imo. Suits and White Collar were also 2 USA shows that I stopped watching because they became way too hard to follow.

Xaris posted:I don't remember that episode (tbf a lot of them blur together), but it's common for someone (regardless of ethnicity) raised from a young age in an family who speak with an accent to also speak with an accent (albeit usually much weaker) so that doesn't seem questionable. yeah, when one of my exes went to first grade the teacher called her parents because they thought she had a speech impediment. but it was just that her dad is from argentina

Sagebrush posted:actually 30 rock had the best final season and finale, and will forever. rewatching 30 rock this year and i gotta say it got so many things right that were just waiting to blow up 5-10 years after the snow ended. bill cosby and harvey weinstein are the most obvious, but it’s kinda amazing how culturally relevant the show still is, for being a pretty topical show at the time.

sopranos is good and hilarious. thinking back to people not getting it and wanting to be tony soprano is super funny and adds to the enjoyment of watching it again its like mad men in that some people really get caught up in the aesthetics, the veneer of glamour, and not realize that the people are all terrible and/or horrible failures.

I just finished reading Ninefox Gambit, it was pretty good! some of the military procedural stuff was boring, but the core character driven plot was compelling and kept me interested. I’m having trouble deciding what to read next

Rewatching Fall Of Eagles. Goddamn does this series have strong beard energy. Also Patrick Stewart Lenin!  E: It's especially  because, being a mid-70s BBC production, it's full of faces I'll recognize from 10-15 years later when they were some bit role in Yes, Minister or House of Cards or Jeeves and Wooster or some poo poo.E2: Holy poo poo, Vera Ivanovna is Aunt Agatha! Maybe she was undercover heightening the contradictions?
