Supposedly based on Edison's assistant who was a demonstrator for touring x-rays, who got sores on his hands and then eventually had his hands, forearms, then whole arms amputated before dying. Happy living, Barrow, ya dick! https://twitter.com/AtTheKn…

The more I think about it the more it seems like abuse. But she was so happy, too, which is insanely conflicting.

Yeah but Kimmy Schmidt was the bright shiny new thing that, I wager, bumped Broad City out. And while I love UKS, its last three episodes really brought its season as a whole down by comparison.

My theory is a somewhat judgemental and mistrustful one, which is that it was such a strong year for feminist comedies that it basically just got forgotten about in the wave of Amy Schumerism (which I'm otherwise fine with). I'd suggest that a lot of critics inherently favour shows that are really ABOUT SOMETHING,…

Seriously, Getting On packs more humour and pathos into six episodes than your Transparents and Masters of None combined, but it's so comparatively unfashionable to like something like that it's no wonder no one wants to stump for it.

There are so many sitcoms/comedies on these ballots that don't even come within a stone's throw of making a season of television as funny and weird and warm as Broad City's second season. The apparent slip in critical favour for such a consistently great show is this year's biggest TV mystery.

I didn't really care for it as a whole but it has some standout scenes.

Fair, and yes, though you could easily single part of it out - probably the pitch itself - and it'd qualify.

It's pretty non-essential.

I loved it. That's when it truly transcended into screwball farce, which is what it was destined to be.

I saw it!!! It had some good moments between the languid, dull ones.

Good. I just want them to spend two hours brutally side-eyeing awful men.

Can we put Viviane Amsalem in the Mad Max sequel alongside Furiosa?

I actually liked it way more than I thought I would, but I agree that McDonald was way underserved.

A few additions from unmentioned films:

I dunno if I've ever watched a TV show that forces drama in quite the way Transparent does.

This show >>>>>>>>> Nu-Bond.

Yes! Exactly. All we learn about her is how being trans affects other people's behaviour, but we don't really learn how she changes (other than physically), whether her interests are the same, or new, or whatever else. It occurred to be watching the first episode of the second season that it's not a very well-written…

They're very different and, if anything, complementary. It's not like one's existence affected the other.
