Only made it through five or six episodes and I was impressed by the production and acting and bored to death by almost every other detail.

HBO seems to have a much better handle on the budget thing since every post show interview about The Leftovers with the producers has them talking about how the budget constraints made some of the choices for them plot/setting wise and music wise, even the opening credits are recycled from the second season because…

I bet the Get Down budget is the reason Netflix is going to kill a lot of shows.

I'm amazed House of Cards has run this long on Netflix considering the source (if I remember correctly) material only lasted twelve episodes or half a regular US TV season.

Sort of like how she was Alexander Skaarsgard's sister in True Blood for a bit?

I forgot but I imagined Lucy would have thought Jesse and the vampire being *friends* would have counted for something or was it more obviously sinister?

DJ Qualls warped himself in from The Man in the High Castle.

Yes, when the reviewer brings up Orange is the New Black as the other show where she's not interested in the men, had to roll my eyes because they put so much time into Healey and I ended up hating him more than I did at the beginning of the show, versus here where it's more nuanced than the lesbian hating/misogynist…

I haven't seen the two guys (Lutz and the hat guy, Frank?) from the writer's room that make an appearance in anything else since 30 Rock (besides this), or Siri (however that's spelled) for that matter.

The first time I watched this two parter it did seem a little off as the reviewer is saying, just couldn't put my finger on what was going wrong for me. Also, never watched Overboard, got the gist of the joke.

I haven't seen Leisha Hailey since The L Word and she looks even better now.

The false equivalence on South Park when comparing two sides of an issue is the more grating thing for me, the creators sounded like cowards when they dismissed any notion of their season long Trump/Clinton proxy battle having any influence on people.

Takeaway from the article is that means Kushner is absolutely crazy and stupendously naive, and that US intelligence thinks leaking this is important enough to reveal to lose whatever method they used to manage to intercept the Russian ambassadors report from Washington to Moscow.

Person of Interest delayed an episode where they used guns(!) for a week after one of the real life USA mass shootings.

There's a ton of coverage on vox/vulture/ew, if you don't mind lousy/absent commentariat.

Jordana Brewster seems like a class above the rest (for her part), and the actress who plays the innocent one is pretty good for what is asked of her, too.
I can really see how there is definitely the germ of a good movie in there, it just didn't come out fully baked.
It's been a long time since I've seen it does Show…

It was a lot of fun, reminded me of a very different TV series, Sleepy Hollow, with the parents of you know what but where Sleepy Hollow managed to crash and burn, 12 Monkeys stuck the landing.

I gave up on the plot being coherent towards end of the second season and just watched for the Maslany performances.

Definitely not. It's actually kind of chaste. I Love Dick might be more in line with what you are talking about.

Or maybe Emmit has basic first aid training. I groan every time I see someone pull something out of a puncture wound in a 21st century setting.
