except this review didn't make me want to projectile vomit

Not seen this one before but Melville's Army Of Shadows is one of the greatest WW2 films ever.

"just what I wanted to see," said no-one ever.

I thought Season 4 was a step back in the right direction (albeit with cartoon villains) until the finale which was probably one of the worst season endings ever

holy shit, "Werner Herzog of butlers" might be the funniest thing I've heard all year
