Echoing the sentiment that this show is not "catered towards millennials"in the slightest. The whole idea is highlighting human stories you don't usually see on television - all ages, races, and types of people are represented.

That's a great way of putting it. I always thought he'd come across as a fairly dull person unless you really got to know him, or if you were somehow involved in one of his cases.

"Meg Tilly—nigh-unrecognizable, save for that unmistakable voice…"

I've had to google a few of your replies to make sure they're not just stereotypical "angry manbaby" copypasta, but with like My Little Pony replaced with Metroid. But no - seems like you can do bad all by yourself.

The reason why I like Looking is because it DOESN'T feel like it has a "responsibility" to educate people on the "correct" way to handle things.

Walter White is the lead in Breaking Bad. You think the show endorses cooking meth and killing people, just because he's the protagonist?

Depiction does not equal endorsement. We're supposed to see Patrick as you see him - a fussy, privileged doofus.

For the record, I think the original Bron/Broen handled Saga's Aspergers quite well. It wasn't so much that her magic autism powers helped her solve crimes, rather that she was a great cop who happened to have Aspergers. Haven't seen the US remake, but I'm not surprised they'd fumble that.

The original Bron/Broen is not Swedish-Norwegian, it's Swedish-Danish.

Is it, though? I think the overwrought pathos of it is part of the joke as well. Like "can you believe we are pretending to take this ridiculous concept seriously??"

Yeah, I really don't get the outrage over Jacqueline's Native American background. The fact that she's a blonde, blue-eyed woman IS the joke. It's not as if a genuinely Native American actor would get the part, because then there'd be no joke.

Soooo…he DID say that women who get abortions should be punished? I don't see how his words were twisted.

TRAILER SPOILERS

Her behaviour during sex seemed so weird and out-of-character. She seemed like a perfectly nice, pleasant person - no idea where the wacky "THIS IS WITCH SEX!!" came from. Like the incest in episode 1, these crazy sex scenes feel way out of step with the more subdued tone of the rest of the show.

The whole series aired last year in the UK.

I get'cha. It's not really a complaint against your review, just a general weakness in reviewing a story-driven TV show like this. Like reviewing a feature film 10 minutes at a time.

No spoilers, but a lot of these complaints are made irrelevant by later developments. A lot of the stuff you find draggy or superfluous adds up to something.

Yeah, you really proved how little you care by responding to every single comment here with sputtering "NO U R!!"-responses.

True that. So many incredibly catchy, lesser-known songs. Rock n Roll With Me, Big Brother, 1984…I also love the alternate Candidate that was released on a few bonus discs. So good.

Yeah, the story I always heard was that they met only once: Warhol only said one thing to Bowie ("I like your shoes"), and hated the song. I've seen people claim they were friends, but I think they just met that one time and that it bummed Bowie out immensely.
