Seriously, Fitz went to war in West Angola for Olivia killing a bunch of soldiers for his own personal interests with regards to a woman he was having an affair with.

Which would be fine if all the characters were such caricatures. Just because the show makes revolution seem listless and fleeting doesn't change the fact that the show massively simplifies the context in which it operates.
This show has threatened to boil over the deep end of self-importance and juvenile politico-economic analysis and the finale finally tipped the scales, like all the worst things about Fight Club with very few of positives.
I guess that's the advantage of the streaming service binge model. What we all thought was the low point of the show actually turned out to be one of its most formative episodes as a turning point and for context, but only with hindsight.
I should have realized and given the benefit of the doubt that this was a glitch, I probably need to lurk more.
Back to my potentially insulting, but really just badly wanting to avoid spoilers and read the review… on a skim, it doesn't seem as though the grade is discussed, deliberations and historical precedent wise. I won't go on from there just now, but am I right in assuming that?
No, honestly, I've loved this show and was so excited about the second season pickup and the darkness was kinda cool, made the show something different and exciting and likely to be cancelled… but this episode, yep, it seems almost ironic that a show which at least in part is designed to critique some of the nastier…
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm trying not to potentially spoil the show (I'm irrationally OCD about spoilers) but I'm wondering how many episodes the critics would have access to with a show like this, in mini series format on HBO.
Loud Places is my track of the year. The made for rave DJ vibe with all that energy and all those elements mixed in and out encompassing the delicate heart and soul of somebody stricken Stu the height of electronic music's bombastic, drug fueled peak. It resonated with me because it reminds me a very important but…
I think you're right, but in the sense that I think they could do it and, with more time to think it through, she might have chose differently but given the pressure and considering how manipulative and charming Blaine is (i.e. he is actually a sociopath) I think he confused her and got to her.
Honestly, I think it might be more complicated than that. It's a time honoured tradition that villains and heroes hold some degree of emotional bond. I think partly it comes down to his ability (as a drug dealer/supreme evil overload) to charm and persuade, and partly down to some link between the two that will be…
This review needed more proofreading. The spelling/grammar/structure leave a bit to be desired…
Is this list serious? Is this a joke? I don't understand, the number of classic Beatles tracks on this list is mind boggling.
Damn this episode underrated by reviewer. Jonah and Dan should spin-off, next level Odd Couple HBO edition.
It's like I disliked this season slightly for a completely different set of reasons as everybody else did. I disliked it because the show finally convinced me Alicia should be and wants to be state's attorney, and then made that entire arc pointless (maybe because nobody else was convinced like me). I disliked many of…
The reviewer is beginning to disrupt the subjective/objective balance that should apply to critical analysis of pop culture. Sure, you can't divorce yourself entirely from your own, personal experience as someone reflecting on the quality of pop culture, but you reach a point where your disdain becomes too personal…
I actually disliked the 3D printer plot more since the politics were blended with the morality too much considering how light and ridiculous the case was anyway, and, yeah, we haven't seen McVeigh enough for the emotional stuff to pay off or seem anything other than featherweight and easy.
Just thrilled, not only by the reliable craftiness from the writer's room and the production team and cast's ability to rise to the challenge, but by the gutsiness of the plot in general.
Tell me I'm not the only one who thought Aiden's piece went to dark places that some might even consider, dare I say it, triggering? This whole episode felt dark to me man. It's not a bad thing, just think the silliness contains within it some terrifying loss of control at times that makes comedy and improv. at their…
I think this was my least favourite episode of this show so far. It wasn't very funny and a tad too snide for me, even by Portlandia standards.
