Was that a knock on Fargo the TV show? If so, agreed. Holy hell is that show overpraised.

I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it more or less. It's hard to deny how sloppy and lazy the writing could be, though. Two or three characters were given almost all the spotlight at the expense of the rest of the cast, and I never got the sense that the writers knew what they wanted to say about these characters…

Girlboss was fun and had a handful of really solid episodes. Friends from College is highly watchable despite its flaws. I can't see too many people getting upset one way or another about either show, though.

"Herstory of Dance" was my personal favorite, and I think it holds up with some of the best of the Harmon years. Agreed about Brie Larson's character and the conception of Jeff's dad; I thought both were well done. "Paranormal Parentage" is another episode I liked a lot, which, despite a few clunky one-liners, did a…

This is how I've described it in other discussions about the show in the past. To me, Community embodies this concept that I describe as "self-weariness." It's this sense that you can never quite be the person you'd like yourself to be, and that you're doomed to let down the people you care about, but the mere fact…

So the dad ended up in prison and the son wound up Chief White House Dimples Strategist, or whatever he does. Remind me to never watch that show.

And that kid grew up to be? You guessed it…

Oh come on really?

6 seasons and a movie, goddamnit.

For Sense8, I've tried selling it by telling people that it's literally every genre in one show. It's got action, romance, melodrama, comedy; it's both a travelogue and an angry plea for empathy and tolerance, on top of being science fiction; also, it's got a shit ton of sex. There's gotta be something there that's…

I should add the caveat that this is only hard to explain to people outside the A.V. Club, but Community. Even a lot of television critics seem to refer to it as the "paintball show" - in other words, a show known primarily for its gimmicks. I still feel that at its best Community had a worldview and an undercurrent…

She made bank when that United ad went viral.

Everyone in the photo looks like they want to be somewhere else, except for Mike Pence, laughing appreciatively in the background for no discernible reason.

*discovers two-thirds of his own followers are spambots, ignores evidence, forces black people to present birth certificates before creating profile*

I think he would. I loved the casual reveal of Leonard's black live-in boyfriend while he's reviewing potato chips for youtube. Leonard wouldn't stand for any of this current bullshit.

Trump has a similar photo where he's explaining to a group of orphans what it's like to (watch another man) have sex with a beautiful woman on a yacht.

I've listened to them since just about when they first appeared on the radio, but I was young enough during their first couple albums that I didn't respond to their first departure with seething rage. And really, you're right, Pinkerton is the only outlier; I guess maybe in later albums they leaned into the power pop…

"Put Me Back Together" and "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" are both very solid. They don't quite make up for "The Girl Got Hot," but the album is still probably worth it overall for those two tracks.

Haha, understandable. The cover for Hurley is bizarre enough to work for me, but I get the reaction.

Eh, some bands are just fun to shit on. I don't necessarily think it even has much to do with the quality of their output, to be honest. I know I'm in the minority, but I really believe Weezer has only put out one truly bad album (Ratitude), and everything else has been at least pretty good. But they've basically…
