But who is asking for this? Seriously, who is this storyline for? It's clear that, even though some people think the outrage is overblown, nobody really seems to be expressing a desire to see where it goes. Even among its defenders, it seems like people either just want this to end now, or are just waiting for the…

Yeah, comedy is where we're dropping the ball.

What? British TV is pretty damn good. The BBC and Channel 4 are consistently good. Channel 5 is terrible but I just like to pretend it doesn't exist.

One of the reasons why there's so much ecchi bullshit series is that the hardcore otaku who are pandered to by it are such high spenders. They usually buy all the blu-rays, all the merch, figurines, everything. However, the paradigm of anime consumption has changed and, in time, so will the viewership. Streaming can…

A little late, but for me, I appreciate that SJ is the only episode of the entire season where the audience is actually trusted to make up their own mind about the ideas of the show, instead of being browbeaten into feeling afraid of whatever neurotic nightmare scenario Brooker has concocted - which is why it's…

While you have a point with your examples, I think there's something crucial you're overlooking.

I can't speak for everyone, but I don't really ever feel that shows are too 'American' for me to enjoy. I guess that America has enough cultural penetration, in the UK at least, that it's not offputting at all. No offence, but it's one of the reasons Americans are stereotyped as ignorant of other countries - because…

The weird thing is that, having watched more of the show beyond those few episodes, it's not nearly as didactic as I thought. I actually quite enjoy it, even if I'm not completely sold on it yet. Gotta say I do love whenever Laurence Fishburne turns up.

So if he has an album that has different styles on it, he's inconsistent. If he doesn't, then he's repetitive. I don't think there's anything he could do that would satisfy you.

I'd say If You're Reading This… holds together sonically and conceptually.

Well, I think there might be a few reasons.

I didn't see the destruction of K'un Lun as his fault at all. Realistically, while the Iron Fist s powerful, he's just one guy. If K'un Lun is filled with warriors on the level of Davos, who kicked a lot of Hand ass, then the Hand must have taken some serious firepower and a lot of dudes in order to defeat the city.…

For me, the Hand and the Order of the Crane Mother will never be on the same level, because the Hand are killers, drug dealers, blackmailers and thieves. Sure, you could say that the Hand do some good, and the Order has not given Danny an honest or workable version of the world, but they are miles apart in their…

Eh, I don't expect total realism in those scenes, mostly because to most people the intricacies of legal cases or pharmaceutical business is incredibly boring.

I don't think he's a good businessman. I think he's an ethical businessman, and that comes at a cost. The thing that he challenges is this idea that you have to be ruthless to survive. As much as Ward Blames Danny for this and that, it's his own scheming, greed and envy which lead to his downfall. Which is why I…

True, but I just don't really buy that a rich white British guy feels like an outsider in the US. Like, everyone looks like him, broadly speaking they share the same beliefs. Let's be honest, Luke Cage would be more of an outsider due to his blackness, and he was born in the USA.

He didn't leave to be a businessman. He left to come back to the world, to find his purpose, and, crucially, because he always wanted to return, but couldn't. He never went to K'un Lun by choice and he always wanted closure for his mother, who he suspected survived the crash as he didn't find her body. I thought when…

I think it was for 2 reasons - to showcase her as a badass so we can believe it when she's taking down multiple enemies in later episodes, and because without those scenes the first few episodes would barely have any fighting in it. I can't say that either of those are bad reasons but it doesn't really work as…

Or they could have just made the Rands British.

I kinda like Danny's interactions with the corporate world. It's like, you don't have to be a psychopath to be a good businessman. You can be ethical and still succeed. It's just a problem that it takes an outsider to prove this, and the two character arcs of Ward and Joy adjusting to Danny are perhaps the most…
