I'm glad The Mitchells Vs. The Machines took time to let us know that son character is definitely into girls and not gay.

https://mobile.twitter.com/latimes/status/1402077589536002048 i could not for the life of me figure out why this show was getting such hype when it just seemed like racist trash to me and i am intensely validated that my take based on the shows actual content has been vindicated over their woke marketing campaign

It was a cute, funny little show the first couple seasons but I kind of lost interest somewhere along the way. Typical issue of contrived personal drama intersected with increasingly ridiculous plots to keep all the plates in the air.

Felt the same way, the fact that it was such a nightmare to work on won't make me miss it now that it's gone either

Yeah, it quickly went from a “sit down and watch” show, to a “background while doing chores” show in a bout a season and a half.

It's seems the fate of so many sitcoms and comedies that after after a few seasons the writers decide you're tuning in for the plot-arc and things descend into a crappy soap opera

likewise Louis CK’s final curse onto the world was to reduce every comedian helmed show and arguably comedy itself to a protracted jerkoff session

watched SAINT MAUD last night and it loving ruled, great religious/psychological "horror" (kinda but not really) at a tight 85 —— and what an ending it leaves prime in like 10 hours if anyone wants to catch it before then

On the recommendation of TVIV, I've started watching The Americans. Up to episode 4 right now and it's of acceptable quality. Buuut I've just read on wikipedia the writer is a former CIA spook Does this show degenerate into veiled American and CIA propaganda or is it worth sticking with?

There's a sense of nostalgia for the bygone conflict and a sense of "this enemy was so great that our victory was all the sweeter." That said as a spy drama it's not bad. The two leads carry the show imo

That's our media now. It's amazing how quickly it fell into reporting rumours, memes, speculation, disaster porn, recaps, pure opinion, press releases and non-news, just to fill time and space.

Cool to the first part, a big "why" to the second Just make your own series then lol E: like if the gang just wasn't part of the story and didn't ever show up that's one thing, but "doesn't exist" like at that point it's just your scoobyverse OC

recently busted through superstore as a 2nd monitor show while i worked, and it was alright. it was a michael schur show if he was about 75% more cynical and 50% more mean, so it was totally fine it got a little courageous with the unionization stuff but then dropped it immediately after because of a sudden new plot point it was lame

I'm not a fan of the series but what the hell happened to the second Kingsman movie? The first has a plot where every rich and powerful person on Earth (including Obama) is conspiring to wipe out the unwashed masses - and it ends with every rich and powerful person on Earth getting their head exploded. In the sequel the big bad gal's evil plan is to force the President (who is a generic nobody) to end the drug war, and then when he decides to let every drug user on the planet die instead he is eventually punished with... impeachment?

i was kind of unnerved how in the second kingsman movie they murdered three villains in a row in cold blood after specifically going to the trouble of neutralizing them first maybe thats why the president got off with just an impeachment since there was literally no one left to contradict whatever story he told

Seeing as Julianne Moore gets a weak-rear end death and Channing Tatum almost immediately gets removed from the plot and is gone from the movie it feels like there was some kind of last minute hack job edit.

kind of funny to think that with all the villains dead and also the american cop they were working with there isnt really anyone who can actually verify the kingsmens story just yup this crazy woman tried to kill everyone in the world with drugs nothing to do with us also we had to shove the guy we were working with into a meat grinder because uh he was really mad that his girlfriend died from an overdose yeah thats it

In lighter news, I was wondering why the score in Hots Shots! Part Deux is so good and it turns out they got Basil Poledouris to do some uncredited work.

I don’t know the temperature of this take, but I think New Girl is really good and fairly consistent. Source: overnight worker binging the show again in the background.
