David Spade IS still here.

I think Bojack's more about a protagonist whose best days are behind him … which is very much relatable for anyone who peaked in high school/university.

You only have to look to Arrow and compare Caity Lotz (background in dance and martial arts) to Katie Cassidy (background in CW-ing) to see the benefit of hiring people who know how to fight.

I'd call it a post-apocasnoozefest game of Russian roulette where the bullet is made of contractual obligation.

Captain America handled that exact situation quite well.

Maybe some people just have awful taste? Nobody ever seems to consider that possibility before berating all critics … funny that.

"Hey police detective guys, did you start investigating the crime scene yet?"
"No Dexter, we decided that every single one of us would wait outside until you, our blood spatter guy got here."
"Gee thanks guys. This'd sure be a convenient time for some incriminating evidence to be left at the crime scene that heavily…

I miss Banshee so much this year! FYI: Lucas Hood is a great example of how to create a great character about whom we know very little.

It's no 'Dexter's son on the treadmill' though (thanks Buck!)

And how long, realistically, would that naivety last? If an intelligent person, who's never seen water before, falls in the river, would they just keep trying to breathe underwater until they drowned?

I think GoT is the one to watch for multi-stranded storytelling. In its first season, it dealt with only two locations, then later expanding to three. It wasn't until people were hooked/in step with the characters that it broke out into the world and started juggling 8 or 9 locations.

Are you providing your own echoes in this echo chamber?

As it is, this just sounds like a retread of Doctor Strange, played back at 10% speed… with Buck's patented, awful dialogue.

Let's not forget the wonderful conversations between Dexter and Ghost Harry, which generally took up 20 minutes of screen-time per episode narrating what we were either seeing happening at that moment, or around 5 minutes prior.

At least Buck's consistent in presiding over the most awful, on-the-nose dialogue known to humankind.

There was a one-line mention of it in the stray observations … you're the one bringing it up here.

Probably. But I think it's safe to assume that if a show's first six episodes are terrible, few people are going to stick around for the rest… whereas if the last six episodes are terrible, people are more likely to power through to see how it ends.

As someone who watched Dexter from the very first episode, to the the very last one as they aired, I can conclusively state that: no, it was just so bad … so very bad to the point where it opened a vacuum of sucktitude which almost threatened to consume the greatness which preceded Buck's reign of error.

Hey, if he can't sex them up, he'll kill them down … Hell, usually he does both come to think of it.

Funny. All of the reviews I've read have put IF's main flaw down as being that it's just terminally boring and lifeless. Sure, they touched on some social issues, but no one's been saying that those are the reason the show is deeply average, if not bad.
