Could be. The Good Wife is an example of a prestige drama that serves up fantastic character writing for both female and male characters, but it does tend to be the exception rather than the rule.

Lucha libre has exoticos, dude, who are male wrestlers in drag, many of them out-and-proud gay men. Lucha libre has to be rated either flexible or open-minded.

I liked Faking It despite myself until the last episode, where the last scenes made me go "Nah, you know what, fuck this". Whichever they go from there in the new season, I just don't care anymore.

I really, really hope so. Every involved is talented, so it has a lot potential to go places.

This comments section is making me look it up at my local library's system. They're all out, and there are like four reservations on both copies. Goddammit.

I'm re-reading Anuja Chauhan novels. She essentially writes these frothy clever rom-com-y Indian-English (dash of Hindi in there) books with hilarious heroines and dashing heroes. Perfect cold autumn comfort reading.

So the show went from "waste of talent, nope" to "has potential", which is a good sign, but everything about it is so referential to current internet culture, I don't know if it has staying power or shelf life, even if it becomes really, really good.

He has a backlog of episode-focus and scene stealing to do, for sure. I hope this is the Cary season.

I will always remember the moment I learned the moai had bodies, and how much my mind was blown by the discovery (made watching a random documentary about the transportation of them).

I love carrot cake so much when my friend offered to bake something for my birthday I requested carrot cake. Carrot cake done right (moist, just enough spices, especially cinnamon) is the best cake.

I agree. Earlier Alicia fantasies have been good, even if they jerk you out of the 'reality' of the show a little. Like the scenes with Will and Jackie interrupting her fantasies. This one just felt ..kind of awkward. Maybe it's because Steinem is not a professional actor?

Wow, this episode (I just typed 'movie', that's how filmatic this show sometimes feels) hit something home for me: I think Cary might become the moral centre of the show this season, whilst Alicia gets corrupted further by getting into the politics and all the rest of it. Look at how focused the episode is on his side…

I think Henry was the one who said something about her morals so he was being a sexist dick. Not sure if the show was, though - it could just be further proof of how self-involved she is. You're dating a guy and don't care enough to google whether he's married? Surely it shows up on Facebook? Like what the fuck. That…

You nailed it. It's an insultingly silly premise, overall, which is why I hope this show dials down on the "gif! meme! feels! internet reference!" bullshit and just becomes a work comedy with two central characters who can both learn from one another. Predictable but could work.

I know it's uncool and all, but dammit if that EC3 mention didn't make this review for me.

This is such a slap in the face to all of us Nordic folk who do actually live in ice houses singing empowerment songs about our ice-making magic.

Not when Smith is on an endless show-long ramble about something. When they actually riff about something or talk about something not-Smith's-career, it's fine, even good.

Fuck, it's sad. SModcast, for all its endless filler episodes, can legitimately be one of the funniest podcasts out there when it gets going, and Smith can be good about mocking himself in a way that's not awkwardly self-loathing or an uncomfortable glimpse into his own psyche. And Mosier is amazing when he's on fire,…

It sucks because I agree Arrow gets a helluva lot better but it does so after around, what, 8-13 episodes? It gets intriguing around episode 5 or 6 but not great. I don't remember when I got sucked in but I do remember it was multiple sittings with my best friend just snarking the fuck out of the show. So that's quite…

I was whining about this show already in another thread, because it's an answer to my dreams with the casting and the romcom-feel of it, and a downer thanks to just about everything else. Unless it becomes a completely different show than what the trailers promised, I foresee a doomed show.
