    You just described why I gave up on Game of Thrones early in season 1

    Southland is a great show. I don't know why it never found its audience.

    I endorse. I liked the first season a little better... it was a little more complicated. But both are really good.

    Was about the check that out after I heard that Jeremy Allen White is always recognized in Chicago for his role in Shameless, not The Bear.

    I really enjoyed the second season of "The Bear". Yeah, it makes me nostalgic for a Chicago that no longer exists, with all its dysfunction (then and now). But the acting is great and the storytelling this season got a bit more personal.

    Yeah, busted by the Osman. :D The characters are reprehensible though. Let's not kid ourselves. The sooner their kind would be erased from the world. the better. But the acting is the draw. It's terrific. It's of course pretty hipster for actors to play damaged characters, and they've been...

    I can't believe the reports of people in tears after that episode. For despicable, damaged, conniving people, the only fitting ending of that episode was very Burke:

    I get being too lazy to read the book so you watch the movie. But video games?

    I watched The Bear last month. I loved it, and I didn't expect to. The cast is amazing. It also represents a working class Chicago history that's like family to me, so I carry a bias. My criticism is that it can go really intense and then 5 minutes later everyone acts like nothing happened. But...

    I can't get into Yellowstone. The dialog seems so stilted

    It got a lot of write-ups in the media. Most of it focused on the politics of his words and none of it on the quality of his incisive comedy.

    I wrote pretty much the same in this thread four years ago and everybody jumped on my ass for it. [emoji24]

    I’ve just learned that sci-fi fantasy is a boner-killer genre for me. [emoji880] As in I’d rather slather my genitals with Ben-Gay than watch another TV show where some dude with plastic ears and a mullet tries to bone Baby Yoda.

    Me neither. I don't get how people in Victorian era attire, wearing white gloves and carrying a lace umbrella over their 17 petticoats, fanning themselves and pausing every third word in a sentence on a slave plantation makes so many women wet. But it does. And it makes my testicles shrivel and...

    Two episodes in and I honestly think it's sh*t. The script goes beyond homage and is essentially a formulaic ripoff of every 80s movie cliché. I can't believe they wasted hundreds of millions of dollars to mash up movies I've already seen a long time ago.

    I'm having a hard time suspending disbelief that a bunch of actors who in real life are now getting divorces and IVF treatments are somehow still in school. Bolder and more surprising still was a character like All In The Family's Archie Bunker, who was written from the beginning to be an...

    BCS shows the evolution of the Gilligan team as master storywriters and craftsmen. The way they play scenarios off of each other and still don't have a word out of place is amazing. I like it more than BB. BB has a bit grander existential mythology to it, and Walt's character arc throughout the...
