Yeah, that is my one gripe about the show. Yes it is slow and that is fine, but sometimes it is just unnecessarily slow. You have these fanboys whining about character development and loving the long intricately shot scenes, but I don’t need to see a guy search a dumpster for 10 minutes to get the point. Or make…

I feel weird reading this review because this was the first ep of the new season that didn’t really ring with me. It was initially great to see Saul’s office again, but I don’t really get why that scene was necessary to this particular episode. There didn’t seem to be anything in it that connected to the rest of the…

Every time they have a strip mall location on this show, i think it’s going to be where Saul eventually puts his office. They all look the same, i guess.

Absolutely. Jimmy knows exactly where to find more of those Hummel figurines. This storyline wouldn’t be playing out if he didn’t.

I loved that little nod the Cousin gave him after he saw that Nacho was willing to get into the gunfight even with a bleeding wound and on the brink of collapse. Up to this point that is probably the most respect he’s been shown by any Salamanca.

There’s been praise of the sound editing in the ball scene, but it's the judge eating that got under my skin. Long silences with just the crunching and slurping. Ugggh. 

Yes, I was thinking that, too! Just needs a giant inflatable Lady Liberty right there.

It reminded me a bit of Fargo Season 1 when Lorne Malvo went and took down a whole building of people. Except Nacho eventually in after them compared to just hearing the carnage and seeing bits of it play out from the outside as in Fargo.

Does the interior of that cell phone store remind anyone of Saul’s office? That strip mall looks awfully familiar too.

All this has happened before, and will happen again.

Time is a flat circle.  Oops, wrong series. 

Eggplant and okra were the kale and quinoa of the mid-aughts. It was a simpler time back then.

The book makes it more plausible. I can’t tell if the failing here was in the script or in Amy’s acting - as lovely and likable as she is, she has never moved me as an actress. In the book, you understand that Camille is succumbing to her mother because she wants to finally escape from Marion’s shadow, because she’s…

I don’t necessarily agree with your take on Sharp Objects, but I can’t argue that I think The Terror was better. I’m not, however, excited for the second season. The premise is interesting but I think it’s a little far afield from what I think made the narrative of the first season so compelling. I’m just getting real…

I really admired everything about Sharp Objects except ‘the murder mystery’...which was god awful. Denouements typically suck because they try and explain away everything....but the show’s reliance on shock value requires us to believe things that neither stand up to scrutiny or merit a closer reading. Instead of…

What are you going to do now that you can’t whine about anyone disagreeing with your fangirl worship of this multi-week train wreck? Amy Adams was fine in this, but she couldn’t save this from her director and writers.

I think that’s a total stretch. Were that the thing she should kill boys., not victimize more girls. The whole gang-raping history of the town, and Camille ”pulling a train” was completely dropped by the director/producer, yet wasted so much time on it. The entire Calhoun Day episode ultimately meant absolutely NOTHING…

I have to admit, I was leaning toward Dad, but by the half way through they were making him look so complicit it had to be Amma (who was my main since the episode where she sticks gum in Camilles hair).

most who read the book (myself included) would tell you the ending was disappointing for the build-up. They didn’t match. So yeah, you can see why most objective people thought this show could’ve dropped a few hours and not missed a beat.

I was a little disappointed. This was a very lopsided episode and rushed despite how slow paced and methodical the entire series was up until this point. The post credits scenes were unnecessary in a “whoa you didn’t see this coming so let’s show you what this looks like” sort of way. It felt almost condescending.
