Honestly it's not that bad, but every grocery store legally has to play it once a day, so it's a case of overexposure.

I really liked Cliff as a character. You could see in his face, how deliberately he kept choosing his words to not lie. And he was honestly quite smart about it. Actually, was there even an instance of her bullshit detection in this episode? I can't recall one. Also, gently caress his boss. After all of this bullshit he should at the very least let him kill her. Great season of a show! Will probably be high on my 2023 chart. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Mar 9, 2023 |

Yeah, really dug that he was so careful about not only not saying anything that was a lie, but framing his responses in a way that felt natural rather than tiptoeing around her ability. "How'd that chip get there?" "It was there when we arrived."

hm, episode 3 was pretty crappy. mostly boring situation, and the plot felt too jokey. BBQ master turns vegan after seeing one movie. didn't like the whole talking to the dog stuff, or the patronising way the right wing radio was inserted with charlile going 'ugh! i disagree with these things. like me' and calling the dog a fascist every time. they feel like desperate attempts at likeable comedy. the wood tasting thing was so farfetched, the radio guy being such a good voice actor he managed to fool taffy's sister-in-law/girlfriend, too. i know this is a light-hearted show and i'm up for that but i want it to feel clever, too, not so obviously contrived. i liked the prerecording a radio show to sneak out and do crime bit, but that was the only element that didn't feel like the boring kind of goofy nonsense. roomtone fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Mar 10, 2023 |

Just finished the pilot and immediately hit the forums to look for the thread, which has always meant "Oh poo poo this is fun" to me. Definitely should've done the "Serpentine!" down the casino hallway avoiding gunfire but other than that good job. Now to watch the rest of the season.

I thought it was really funny how she couldn't get the dick ring off, but then put it back on after she did get it off. For some reason it suited the "I suppose I might as well" nature of the character.

its a talisman, the penis ring is symbolic of a guiding light/protective ward, and its shaped like a penis because that will draw the attention of half of the audience (men) i do not think you are meant to read this show as a 1:1 simulation of reality finale was emotionally devastating, and then restorative, 5/5 television, and then it ended in a coors light commercial? what

In season 2 they should introduce someone who has the same lying power... but uses it for evil. Legit would probably make me like the lying super power more if they did something goofy like that lmao.

Spoilers for finale and first episode: my wife and I watched the finale tonight, and she pointed out that Sterling Sr. said, “I told my son three things when I gave him the casino, the first two don’t matter, but the third is keep Hasp out” In the first episode, Sterling Jr. makes a speech about when his father gave him the casino, his father told him three things: keep the floors clean, keep the Russian guy happy, and the third doesn’t matter. Just an amazing call back. And just amazing acting and writing throughout, I think the highlight moment for me was the FBI guy coming in to arrest Cliff and starting off formal and tense and immediately dropping it with, “whoa wait dude, your eye is hosed up, do we need to take you to the hospital?” Can’t wait for season 2. idonotlikepeas posted:She seemed surprised that she had it back on, like she did it accidentally or just without thinking about it. Yeah, it seemed to me like it suddenly stunned her and disappointed her that suddenly it was there again. cant cook creole bream posted:Actually, was there even an instance of her bullshit detection in this episode? I can't recall one. Pure speculation but it really felt like when her sister said, “y’know what? We’re fine. We’re doing fine.” that Charlie was going to call bullshit. I wouldn’t be surprised if her family is the only place she’s learned to hold back from. But this is just pure speculation.

I think it makes sense for her to have that power as a v open and willing to be vulnerable kind of person, who sees the best in others etc- she's early middle aged, in her 30s, right? you don't survive that long with a spring in your step like that *without* a decent bullshit detector. She's an exaggeration of lots of little traits that I think a lot of median adults (that I'm wagering means about our age) exhibit: we're nicer than our ancestors, more trusting, more traumatized, more resilient, more tolerant, more hosed over- idk there seems to be something important about Charlie Cale as a character, in the current culture- lol idk, it's like- this is the first tv character that makes me feel generationally seen as an adult, and they're showing her persevering over and over despite all odds. And that rules, kinda need that right now tbh skeleton warrior posted:Can’t wait for season 2.

I don't want to say Bratt is a bad actor, but his style doesn't mesh with the show or the more grounded and real performances the one-episode actors are giving. The Big Bang Theory guy is unsalvageable though, takes me right out of the show every scene he's in.

Ron was telling the truth that he wasn't going to kill her skele war said it's speculation about her sister but I think she meant it when she said they were fine (as in we're fine without you in our lives). BB knew enough to tell only technical/half truths, and even though she was setting him up it still seemed dumb to me for her to get on the boat with him since she knew how ruthless he was

Alan Smithee posted:it still seemed dumb to me for her to get on the boat with him since she knew how ruthless he was I think this tracks with her character and part of why they have the bullshit-superpower - she's inherently really trusting of other people. And at that point she still reckons he's also in the same boat (heh) as her – someone who's outside the law, and the one person who, she assumes, knows she wouldn't have the will to pull the trigger.

roomtone posted:hm, episode 3 was pretty crappy. way I saw it, the episode was a good episode of what the show does well (empathizing with killers even if they are shitbirds and their victims don't deserve it) though in this case through a lot of unspoken stuff (the brother telling him he was gonna miss him since he's killing him, but he actually meant it. You really get the sense he just wanted to run a business and make people happy if it weren't for the show necessitating he be murderer of the week). And also what the show does not so well (The two timing wife stuff was kinda bad soap opera territory)

Even though it didn't work out this season it would be fun if Charlie did get a big pool of money at some point, so we can see how she lives when she's blowing through mountains of cash like she was before Sterling ringed her. Or it could be done with flashbacks.

Columbo sucks sometimes. Like this episode with the smugest douche who has a made up accent that only exists in fiction for science douchers. The episode ends and the guy is got and you know he is busted, but they just pan out while the guy let's out an irritating mad im-busted laugh... Which literally gives him the last laugh and robs me of my catharsis.

The first and last episodes of the show were definitely the strongest. Wish they had weaved the main plot a bit more into the middle episodes instead of just having Cliff show up at the end just having missed her over and over again.

Now that the season's over, what are everyone's favourite and least favourite episodes? My favourite is #3, The Stall. I love all the characters and the way Charlie arranged to have the murderer arrested. Every actor, no matter how small their role, killed it. My least favourite is #8, The Orpheus Syndrome. I didn't hate it, but I just didn't find the murderer to be a compelling villain.
