not only is the drama so great in Heels I'd say its purposefully amped up like that because of its influences. its just a lot of cheesy fun.

Mike O'Malley was also in Wayne (watch Wayne you fucks) and was, bizarrely, the most reliably good thing about Glee.DaveKap posted:This makes me super happy. Every time I see Mike doing something in Hollywood it brings a smile to my face. Love him in Snowpiercer as well. Though I wonder if him being a showrunner for Heels means he'll take less roles elsewhere and (Snowpiercer spoiler) means that he won't be waking up from the fridge in Snowpiercer... or was the reason why he entered it in the first place. Yeah, I think the latter is it, plus maybe because of messed up covid filming schedules and timetabling generally.

Dave Chapelle could have trimmed the fat off this latest special. The last special felt the same so I hope that he sticks to his word and stops for a while. It's one of those comedy specials where it's more applause than laughter from the crowd if that helps.

He was also a longtime writer and producer on Shameless. And he was really good in the very shortlived 'My Own Worst Enemy' many years back. He's pretty great all around.

There were times it was funny, but other parts where it's someone's angry comment history, is that the kind of stuff you mean or just going on a little too long in general?

Hey so I normally wouldn't recommend anime here, or, you know, at all -- and only partly because I know most of you don't like the stuff. However, I finished Sonny Boy this week, and it's easily one of the best things I've seen this year. Despite looking like it's gearing up to be some sort of action anime in early episodes, it actually turned out to be a very weird and meditative show, with strange rhythms and not any action at all really. It's also one of those shows where working out what the plot is half the fun, so I'm not gonna spoil it. But it's heavily influenced by shows like Twin Peaks (not in the sense of being randomly weird) and games like Minecraft and -- of all things -- Myst. Also, look, I was the one who told y'all about Creamerie so I feel like I have a little bit of cultural caché to burn here.

For a guy who made such a huge deal that he claims he was always criticizing white people not trans people the story about the trans friend who killed herself was like absolute whitest "I'm not racist I have black friends" type-bullshit I've ever seen.

Spoilers for my TVIV anniversary poll list: Saul is absolutely better than Breaking Bad for me. I was already pretty sure about this by season 3, even, and then 4 and 5 have just led to even bigger jumps in quality. It’s so unbelievably excellent in every way.

New CSI Vegas was tonight. It was great to see some of the original cast. It feels like they're going with the same formula of the original show, and not the spinoffs, so that's good. I'll keep watching because I loved the first show right up till the original cast started to split. Wu-Tang is getting really great. They've finally started working together, cut their hit song, and now they're finally getting some airplay. Shits blowing up!

I feel weird about putting anything on the poll that isn't completed, you know? Or at least ended without completion. Like, Breaking Bad was excellent until the final season, which was still mostly excellent, but those last few episodes changed how I felt about the show overall. Similarly, the final season of Girls was a real boon to that show, and the final season of The Americans was not. TV isn't so much about endings as it is about the journey, but the ending is still the thesis.

That particular point is just a sore spot for me, is all. Now I kinda wanna dig up my old posts to remember my thoughts on the matter. In any case, it's still probably the best TV Drama of all time because if you asked me to name a TV Drama that was perfect from start to end, I probably couldn't.

The best part is that he apparently said he's not gonna do LGBTQ+ jokes anymore. I guess he really had to get them out of his system in the past three loving specials.

Yeah, the transphobic stuff could have been cut. At this point though he's so rich and successful that the only way he'd stop is if he got bored of doing them. Some jokes in general just went on a little too long.

I'll keep watching because I loved the first show right up till the original cast started to split. It was okay, the style and editing definitely kept the feel of the original series. I did note that the sets look tremendously different, wide open, super fancy, which makes it look much more like a set designed for beauty than a functional lab. I'm slightly surprised that they didn't bring back any others of the cast from the first series, although it probably makes sense to avoid having too many ties and paying the other lab techs a lot of money for reprising the role. It looks like they've got to bring Hodgesback at some point. Maybe there will be more cameos. It seems like the series will specifically have an over-arching plot, but that specific plot will probably only last for one season. But I think that the "clear Hodges' name" plot has a little flaw in that clearly there's SOME bad actor at work involved to have gotten their hands on that stuff, so it's not like finding that person will put an end to the lawsuits and other legal troubles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFqNxm1dfO8 Lord & Miller have a new live action TV show for Apple. "The Afterparty" is a Rashomon style murder mystery about a death at a high school reunion where each episode will be a different character retelling the events from their perspective.

It's wild when you go back to the first season of CSI and they work out of grey carpeted and wood panelled labs until the second or third season when they get the all glass upgrade.

Oof, the end of the season finale of Archer was a real gut punch. It was their way of writing off Jessica Walter and they had her retiring to a beach living happily ever after with Ron Cadillac (Ron Leibman,) her IRL husband who has also passed.

It’s really weird to me that they’re just gonna continue the show without her instead of just ending it. Especially after everyone involved had previously intimated or stated outright that the show was nearing an end now that the coma seasons are done with.

DaveKap posted:I dunno. You're probably right, there's tons about that show that deserves praise and study but, for me, something hung over Season 4 in a way that made me feel ill watching it. In the same way Justified had the Ava in prison story, there's a chunk of Saul that bothers me. We don't have to get into it here and I'm pretty sure I wrote about it in the respective thread but it boiled down to Saul's inability to deal with the end of the previous season in a timely and satisfying manner. I always felt like his relationship with Chuck was missing some spectacularly important piece and even when that piece got filled, it was emptied again when Season 4 rolled along and Saul refused to acknowledge an elephant in the room. Man I really been thinking about doing some longform on BCS, but I think Chuck and Jimmy's relationship was perfectly book ended with the lantern scene. Chuck demanding Jimmy shut up and just listen is a microcosm of what their relationship of a whole was, and Chuck killing himself as a result of Jimmy finally destroying that facsimile with the trial with that lantern that symbolizes it was perfect. As was Jimmy letting go of his grief when he realized Howard was destroyed by Chucks death, Jimmy was emotionally distraught as he thought he was the only one who cared enough to actually help Chuck, even as chuck held him back and tried to destroy him. When he realizes Howard also cared enough, he didn't have to carry that, imo unwarranted, burden any longer.
