I hate these reviews. You don't have to love a show to review it, but I think you need an open mind. It's not like you have to have lunch with these characters, or split the rent with them.

Factoid is a fact, but a fact bite. As in, an hors d'oeuvre of truth.

Note to myself: my guess is Babe McSomething is behind the assassination attempt. Emma's boyfriend was just arranging for protection for her in prison.

This is more like writing in a diary then an online discussion, but having just watched the first season four years on, this reviewer vs. commenters is pretty interesting. I agree totally with Meredith that the show has a real problem with humanizing any of the characters, but that's something that plagues a lot of…

I agree. Season two took longer to get into, and didn't quite have the hook of McConaghey and Woody Harrelson, but I did like it and it didn't make sense to me that it was so panned. I think they should just keep going, give some free rein to the anthology concept, even if not every season is a hit.

Gee, I wouldn't want to be in her shoes. Mostly because she seems very, very uncomfortable with something she said that can't be unsaid.

Robert Carlyle is fabulous. But I'm starting to question why he stays. To paraphrase someone else on these boards, what do the producers have on him?

The Great Smog (I don't know if that's what they call it) comes up in conservation textbooks as a seminal event in raising awareness about air pollution.

I agree with that. It only becomes more annoying when he presents an apologia for Chappelle's remarks about Trump's tape and consent. I don't know Chappelle well enough to make excuses for him. But I know what it felt like to read his quotes about that. It doesn't make me want to understand him, just avoid him.

Anyone see Get the Gringo? He lets the viewer punish him vicariously. Also, it's a really good film.

Can you narrow the search a little?

Yes.

This was one of the worst series I've ever seen — the first two series. I barely got through the second one. Jamie Dornan is the best thing in it, and after him anyone but Gillian Anderson. But so few characters are grounded in anything recognizably human. I could take that, if there was a halfway decent plot. But…

Doesn't diesel destroy the motor? Like, it's not a little bit broken.

I love Baldwin and Kate McKinnon as those two. They just make me so happy. The opening with Hanks talking to America — except for Hanks delivery, it bored me. Something I just didn't get. I think because I wanted him to stay the way he was when he first came out, all happy and excited.

"Sometimes it's hard to believe these people are actually doctors." Also true in real life, sadly.

That's a good article. The most poignant comment is from director Kim something, who says he wasn't overtly sexist, just generally dismissive in a she's-just-a-woman kind of way. How well I know. It's an awful feeling, she says, and so it is. That one quote gets to me more than a lot of more dramatic stories.

Hey — Edgar kind of bugs me, too! And I like Vernon! You weren't trolling, were you, cause I have felt very alone in these observations.

Yes, she's so pretty and also pretty magnetic. I like their scenes together.
