They don't carry them and you hardly ever see anyone shooting during the whole series. The guns are actually locked away in a safety locker and you need to get special permission to check one out and it needs to be immediately checked back in when you return to the station. There's an action scene where the main guy busts a sex trafficking ring and he does it while holding a bat or pipe or something. If this was happening on SVU I'm certain Stabler would blow away at least a few guys. Well if you have vikings you don't need guns

God drat that’s an awesome premise for a cop show.

Latest episodes especially have been so good and I'm hoping they bring the Rebecca is working against the interest of the club storyline to a close before the season ends, now that this is causing an issue for her. S2 needs to start with everyone on the same page, and a new arc for sure. Just saw the episode description tomorrow and it looks like it relates to my spoiler - After a series of mistakes on the pitch, pressure mounts to bench Roy. Rebecca finally reveals the truth to Ted.. That makes me happy.

Really the only reason I haven't watched Bob's Burgers in a few years is I just can't be arsed to tune into Fox on Sunday nights since everything else is so dire, it's a lot easier to just pop a movie on, or hand over the controls to my roommate, and let her go willy nilly on whatever Netflix series she's into lately.

Started watching Schitt's Creek this week, about halfway through S2. It's hard to describe what I like, but it is sometimes very funny and somehow relaxing. I do love Eugene Levy, too. Some of Alexis's scenes are still hard for me to take tho

It's definitely more of a drama with comedy elements than a comedy with drama elements. But when you're 13 isn't everything a drama?

Kinda funny that Shawn Ashmore is playing a someone in "The Boys" that manipulates fire. I also just assumed it was going to be Aaron Ashmore, but I guess the X-Men money is over.

GreenNight posted:I still watch Simpsons and Family Guy every week. Same here. And it's also momentum for me, and because Simpsons trivia nights at bars (rip real life events) often throw in questions from recent seasons and I have to stay competitive. No but seriously every season still has a couple real gems.

Amazon has fastracked a The Boys spinoff which is about a superhero college. Also Soderberg said they're working on a new season of The Knick, which is loving awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uruYyBjtq0Q TV shows in the time of Covid zoux fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Sep 25, 2020 |

I'm guessing the Knick S3 is going to be on HBO Max? It's not like Cinemax is doing any new programming.

Seasons 1 and 2 aren't, which is a shame because I feel like very few people watched it and it's one of the more interesting period dramas I've ever seen. quote:“Yeah. [André] and Barry took that on,” he confirmed, suggesting he would only stay on in an executive producer role as he usually does with projects he passes on to others like ‘GFE.’ “I told them, ’Look, I had, I had my shot. Godspeed, take it in whatever direction you want.’”

Speaking of Family Guy they've also announced the new voice for Cleveland Brown and they went with a guy named Arif Zahir who apparently got noticed from doing impressions of Cleveland on YouTube.

STAC Goat posted:Wow. It’s not really that surprising, just sad. Grade school history basically ends at Reconstruction and the bulk of what you’re taught about civil rights and the Jim Crow era south focuses on the 60s. I wasn’t even aware of the Tulsa poo poo until I saw the show, and I’ve probably read more US history than the average viewer. It’s just something that’s been largely ignored by pop history until the last decade or so. It honestly says more about the state of US education than the viewers.
