I don't understand how some of the same people who whine about pop artists like Beyonce getting coverage here because they're "too commercial" and "just in it to make millions" are the same people who write thousands of words about Marvel movies.

Exactly. The show has a bad habit of focusing too much on boring love interests when it should just be telling stories about its (well-crafted, fun to watch) ensemble.

Finally watched it, and while not a terrible episode, it was kind of weirdly dead in parts. I felt like the rest of the family should've been a lot more involved than the occasional "are you okay, Bob?" or "take the money, Dad!".

Yeah to me this episode felt more sitcommy. Not in a bad way though, like a 30 Rock/Arrested Development way. It's a little different than the vibe the show had before but not too different and still hilarious.

Post-showrunner change the show definitely hasn't changed much, but was I alone in thinking it was a little more farcical than the show usually is? Something about the ending with Sue/the race relations meeting/the Fitbit runner felt a little bit more "here we are building to a big comic setpiece!" than the show…

Considering they brought back Mikey as a main character after a brief S1 appearance, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Keith again sometime down the line. Kimmy just needed to work through her stuff first.

I know Hulu gives critics the entire season and I think maybe some FX shows do too? You'd think Netflix would but I think they like making the weekend that shows drop an "event" and having critics finish it alongside everyone else adds to that.

What's really bugging me about this season is the return of Sam. Seriously, who gives a shit about Sam? It's frustrating because so many things about the show have improved this year (more Winston screentime! Cece's really funny! More fun ensemble stories!) but the Sam plot is dragging everything down.

Am I alone in thinking this season of B99 was the show's best yet? In Season 1 I felt like the show often tried too hard to be "emotional" at points and had some really generic and forced character development (basically it felt like it wanted to be Parks and Rec but wasn't as good at it) but in S2 and especially in…

Some of the early Season 1 episodes got C-range grades I think, but they were lumped with the Fox animation group reviews and I have no idea where those went.

To me the back half of the season finally became the weird, dark comedy we were all hoping it would become when it first moved to Netflix.

Yeah, critics only got the first 6 episodes and they started digging into Kimmy's trauma right after that mark. Reminds me of when reviews wrote off Bojack S1 as a shallow Hollywood satire when it was episode 7 where it started digging into his depression.

Say what you will about Jacqueine's plot, but her parents are consistently great. They kill every line delivery.

I feel like Anna Camp has mostly gotten stuck in a bunch of projects that don't really highlight her potential as an actress (The Mindy Project, Pitch Perfect and its sequels) so I'm glad UKS finally let her shine, and I hope it leads to her getting more attention. She was fantastic.

The Capaldi era gets much better than the first 2 episodes. Series 9 is easily as good as the best Matt Smith years.

I'm finally catching up on Better Call Saul. For a long time I felt this show was pretty overrated but it's hitting a great stride right now (I'm on episode 7 of Season 2). I still don't know if it's FAR AND AWAY THE BEST SHOW ON TV but it's definitely having a great year.

I was thinking shades of Donna, with the way she kept loudly drawing attention to herself despite the Doctors' requests not to.

Yes let's definitely judge an entire season of television based on a 1:50 clip that probably won't even be in the season.

I get that they're still a thing but every single show has done their "take" on them by this point and it's always the exact same take.

Hipsters can't really afford Williamsburg anymore. They've moved to Bushwick and Bed-Stuy. Williamsburg is now becoming a haven for frat bros whose dads got them jobs on Wall Street.
