Seven months late to the discussion, but ehh.

I'm waiting to see how it finishes (I've just discovered this show and I'm only one episode in season four), but I'm with you. The show manages to juggle a large number of characters and *two* whodunits (neither of which are as interesting as the characters themselves, which is saying something), and it does it all…

I actually like that this season is RuPaul's Best Friend Race! I disagree that this show needs drama and conflict to be entertaining; if anything, I think it's unique among reality TV shows in that it's entertaining *without* that aspect.

Hey, at least Tatiana got two nominations (including one win) after you posted this!

Three years late, but I'm with you. I think the line between "melodrama" and just plain ol' good drama is usually a question of how well something is written and, especially, acted. There wasn't a single moment in that Teddy/Tawney scene that didn't feel 100% truthful to me.

When you say something like that, it actually *does* make me kind of want to know. I've got a few friends who don't cry and have issues with expressing grief/sadness, and there's often been some kind of issue stemming from trauma that causes them to sublimate a "vulnerable" act like crying.

So I'm only discovering this show now, years later (I'm a couple of episodes into season two), but for me this comment crystallised everything I've been enjoying about the show and hadn't quite identified as a pattern yet.

I can relate. I think I censored myself a bit when I was younger because I was worried about acting "too gay", but eventually came around to the idea that I could adopt the stereotypical behaviours that felt right for me (like wearing pink and twerking whenever I damn well feel like it) and ignoring the ones that…

It's kind of funny because by today's standards even Will seems a bit campy. I mean, we now have Max on Happy Endings.

I think the show was helpful for a lot of gay people around that era. It was the first show with openly gay characters I watched, and while the bar was very quickly raised by the more complex gay relationships on Buffy and especially Six Feet Under, Will & Grace always held a special place in my heart thanks to its…

Eric McCormack also got to kiss Bobby Cannavale and Taye Diggs in the later seasons.

Weird to be replying to this after about three months, but no. Sex and the City has aged horribly because both its themes and its fashion were obsessed with being current (and because people have wised up to the ways in which the show was sometimes actually rather disempowering for women).

Weeds also had a couple in its first season or two. I remember Andy gifting Nancy with a vibrator.

Five years late to this discussion, but my partner and I end up switching every few months. He likes the side of the bed that smells more like me, and after a few months he starts lamenting that it's on the other side of the bed and wants to switch. I'm not that attached to a bed side, so I don't mind.

No problem! Glad you're still actually using this account!

Do! You'll have much to look forward to.

That's disappointing to hear. I always understood Showtime's poor reputation to be based on flogging every dead horse imaginable, never heard anything about their movies.

That was Sean O'Pry, also one of the most successful male models of the past 15 years. I've seen him on a lot of magazine covers.

I've only just finished Veep season five and only just saw this review. I'm in Australia and we don't have Showtime, but of the Showtime-originating series I've seen, Masters of Sex is very good. The rest, though… ehh.
