Those goddamn feral kids ruin this show for me. The review is right on the money when it says that the broad caricatures that make up a sizable chunk of the supporting clash too much with the depressingly grounded main plotlines. It doesn't work.

The main character is supposed to be an asshole, but in a very relatable way. Your supposed to sympathize with him for some of the stuff that happens, but also understand that he brings it upon himself most of the time by being selfish and lazy. You're right for calling attention to his complaining to your daughter,…

I think Tandy's great in the quieter and more serious moments he occasionally has. Like when he briefly reflects on Mike's death and his own survival in the season 3 premiere. I just wish that he had more of them. The show is structured around him developing as a person, but he really hasn't done any of that since the…

Everything about season 1 was really clumsy to me. The episode with his parents was pretty inspired, but other than that I just found it all dull, heavy-handed and poorly-executed.
Oh, I also think the opening sequence is really cool. There's that too.

More like they just make it up as they go, hence why Plastic Beach's "story" was an incomprehensible mess. I'm glad that they seem to be letting that kind of stuff take a backseat to the characters just being themselves and screwing around this phase, a gimmicky cartoon band has no need for complicated myth arcs.

Richard may be the weakest of the main five (and even then, I still think he's fantastic, the other four are just that perfect), but Thomas Middleditch himself is a hilariously funny guy. Listen to him on any podcast, watch him on any late night show and I guarantee he'll be the highlight. I'm all for him squeezing…

The main five on this show are outstanding. Pretty much the perfect comedy ensemble in every way.

I'm interested in what, if any, changes adding Monica to the main team will create. She's basically had no personality beyond "the girl" for the last three seasons.

"I accidentally fell into a serious relationship with Peebee after initially agreeing to keep our fling as a casual incident."
Oh no, it's Zevran all over again! I literally just gave the guy a pair of gloves and he was suddenly confronting me over who I loved more between him and Morrigan.

I'll say that I think the show probably could've benefited from having someone more conventionally attractive play Gus, since the guy in a romcom is pretty much always a non-threateningly handsome Paul Rudd-type.

I was looking way more forward to listening to Gilly and Paul run the podcast circuit to promote this season than I was to actually watch it.
It's… alright, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't watching it pretty much exclusively out of loyalty to Gilly, Paul Rust and the Birthday Boys.

She (incorrectly) sees him as a "nice guy" who can help her get her life together. Just like how Gus (incorrectly) sees her as a "cool girl" who will bring excitement to his life.
People tend to overlook that this show is meant to be a deconstruction of a cliched indie romcom and assume it's Paul Rust's jerkoff wish…

I wouldn't have a problem with it if he actually coherently explained why he hates it. So far, though, it's pretty clear that he's just blinded by nostalgia.

I know it's a different Mike Mitchell, but by god Spoonman's poorly-explained hatred of episode VII (up to taking a completely revisionist "they were actually good" stance on the prequels) gets really grating sometimes.
I love the guy, but it really is amazing how similar he is to the stereotypical image of a MRA.

Jesus, they go by so quickly. I guess I just have to accept that nothing lasts forever.

At the beginning of this season, I was sure the wedding was going to be a fake out and Josh would end up dumped by the finale. But now… I dunno, that would be a pretty big dick move considering how effectively they've developed Lucy (and her relationship with Josh) over the season.
I just hope we'll get more from this…

That was actually two seasons ago. I know, time flies with Sunny. The later seasons are so short they sort of all blend together for me post season 7.

It's quite a legacy. I mean, everyone can relate to that little donkey.

Please. She'll come back to haunt the Gang from beyond the grave next season.

I'm surprised that I'm not the only one who finds the Ponderosas to be "comedic dead ends". They have potential, but they've never really managed to deliver like any of the other supporting characters do. When Cricket or Artemis appear, I know I'm in for a treat, but when Bill or Maureen shows up, I brace myself for…
