No, I get it. And as someone who has done TV reviews almost exclusively of shows that didn't really catch on with audiences/readers/commenters, I've seen firsthand how tricky it is to cover the "right" stuff.

C'mon folks

That may be a rough estimate based on someone who only watches a few shows at a time but has noticed that there are a LOT of shows out there.

I don't think that turn is so abrupt, though. The movie is pretty smart about the subtle ways he's actually being manipulative to Hathaway's character even early on. There are several times where he gives her something she "asked" for (furniture, a job, etc.) and it seems increasingly likely that he actually made an…

YES. There were even some cool shots and color choices here and there on JJ, but I wonder if some of the creative resources were diverted to making it an overlong season that's supposed to play as an overlong movie (with some digressions) rather than something that snaps and crackles in the moment. I wish it had been…

That was my major favorite missing from this list, too! I'm surprised by how shruggy a lot of the reactions to it were. I found it a surprisingly moving (and very funny) look at the very nostalgia it seemed like it was indulging.

I think he meant that the directors are not "male and white." Not directed by people who are both male and white.

This apt comparison makes Jessica Jones even more frustrating for me, even though I mostly enjoyed it, because the comic it's based on is a lot funnier (while still being plenty dark and emotional). They really didn't nail the dialogue of the comics, and though I hadn't thought of the comparison, yes, Colossal gets a…

And with good cause.

Mad Men may be mentioned! That's a good idea for a piece but I haven't seen enough of Vinyl (none) or Halt/Catch (few episodes) to write that one. Halt and Catch Fire sort of became a modest, critically respected not-really-hit, eh? My wife digs it.

Hi! A little late on this. You have guessed correctly that regular coverage is over. But there will be something coming soon addressing the most recent episode (though not a TV Club review, per se). Thanks for reading the coverage while it lasted!

Peggy and Steve aren't always side by side during that tour or on the battlefield against HYDRA, though. I love both characters, but it does sometimes loom too large over the rest of the MCU (as @Rocketpilot alludes) for my taste, given that they basically have a very sincere and heartfelt flirtation.

It's also barely a romance! How much actual time do they even spend together?

I love all of those actors you mentioned but I found Gadot terrifically winning in the role. If you want to hear some gals and guys talk about it more at length, it was a major topic in a recent podcast I did:

From what she's said about the project, she reworked the script pretty heavily.

Gold is totally fine in those scenes — in some ways, she's almost too good, because I didn't see enough differentiation in sensibility between her jokes and some of the "edgy" young comedians' jokes. And most of those scenes worked OK on their own; I just don't think the show has gotten good at synthesizing its…

To suggest that any culturally literate individual has not seen Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip, the most influential and groundbreaking sketch series of our time, is ridiculous. Next you'll be telling me that some thinking people *don't* get their news from News Night with Will McAvoy. Absurd!!

It's definitely compelling in its way — I just thought the third episode was pretty bad after the second showed some real improvement.

I would imagine that Reid & Dreesen's bit might not have been purported to be created and emerged almost fully formed on the fly, though, which to me is what really rankled about that scene.

I put an extra "that" in there. Should be "if it demands thanks to Jeff Dunham"
