I disagree, I think it has a decent chance of being pretty damn good.

I disagree with all of your comment. Michael C Hall couldn't save Dexter, but he was always, always watchable, even when the show had turned into steaming garbage. Finn Jones has so little charisma that I resented every time he was on screen. A good actor can't totally save a bad script, but a good actor can sure as…

Our thinking pretty much matches up here. If the second half of Luke Cage had been as good as the first half of Luke Cage, it would come damn close to topping the list, but those first 7 episodes are so fucking good that it actually makes me judge the less stellar back half less harshly. Daredevil Season 2 was awesome…

Alex's reviews of AoS have shown that he's pretty much the only reviewer on this entire godforsaken website who actually gets MCU TV.

You mean all the Ward scenes. Jessica Henwick is fine, but I don't think she's the acting god a lot of people have made her out to be. Tom Pelphrey on the other hand turns an utterly thankless role into amazing character development at every turn.

Sexy young terrorists hide out in a department store and have weird subplots while wearing expensive clothes. Sounds like the most subversive, edgy show the CW has made in years.

The islamophobia, mostly.

I really liked Ozark too, but this is a whole different ball of wax. You might just be trying to troll though, who knows.

It still is. As reprehensible as this drivel seems to be, at least it isn't willfully showing material that will encourage depressed teens to take their own lives.

Thank you for posting that. As I said in my own comment, I usually don't feel straight-up revulsion for a TV show, at least not since 24, but this certainly did the trick. Stephen King should denounce this garbage himself.

Does anyone care that this woman is actually kind of racist and has a well-documented history of not wanting her kids to go to school with black kids? I mean, I know she makes good jokes, but come on.

Yeah, fuck this show for all the reasons the reviewer just said. The kid who has all the stereotypical indications of being somewhere on the LGBT+ spectrum is a raving psychopath and his racist father is suddenly a hero. The worst part is that I'm sure this isn't even remotely intentional on the part of the writers,…

The National is one of my favorite bands, been thinking about that song lately. Freaky that you should post it.

So I'm going to go to bed tonight a hell of a lot more terrified than I did last night. I really want to think that the most likely option is that this whole North Korea situation ends with no nukes/missiles fired, but I'm questioning that a lot right now. Anyone out there have a decent argument on the side of 'don't…

First! I was actually first on a WOT, for once. And I have the double privilege of being one of the last people to get that distinction, considering the kinja takeover. I feel accomplished.

We've all liked something before it was cool, you are not alone. It doesn't necessarily make you a hipster, it just makes you a person. I experienced that with several TV shows before they became cultural phenomenon. It sucks sometimes, especially when there actually IS a drop-off in quality from the early stuff, but…

I'm not one of those people who feels even the slightest urge to see even my favorite musical artist live. I enjoy the music, and concerts are about the social experience more than the music itself.

The best music, in my experience, connects to something so deep within you that you're not even sure what it is at first.

I've never been a fan of indie bands. I've found them pretentious, overrated, usually too self-important to actually be enjoyable as a musical experience. By all accounts, I should hate The National. And yet, they are one of my favorite bands of all time. Their music is able to draw out so much genuine emotion that…

The Invitation is great because of how rationally the main character acts. It's so rare to see a horror movie protagonist not make stupid fucking decisions constantly, and Logan Marshall-Green's character is pretty much on the ball from start to finish.
