If anything, album covers were probably even more "guilty" of this.

Which is a very fitting and I assume deliberate point of that poster.

Speaking of Netflix and pop culture, I think "The Ranch" is one of the oddest and most unusual shows I've seen. It's not really "good" per se, but it's… different. A very strange hybrid of drama and multi-camera sitcom. But even though it's not really "good", it is a just as interesting a show to me as "Master of…

I just wish the show built around the character lived up to the praise I had read.

Bojack is fantastic.

For me, the best moment of Master of None was in the very last scene when the ethnicity of a passenger was used as a way to make us think that Aziz was going to one place when in fact he was going to another. It was a fun way to play on stereotypes in storytelling.

I thought Bill Pullman was Judd Hirsch at first. Eek.

I guess I was just disappointed because I had seen the praise and used my limited time to check out these shows with very little reward for it. My tastes usually align very much with critics and AV Club members, but these were examples of when it didn't.

To me it was jarring how stilted and unnatural the interactions between Ansari, Wareheim, Waithe and Yu were.

I blame Aziz and the other producers for hiring the parents. Cute stunt casting, but it was a terrible decision. I don't blame the parents either.

On Netflix? The one show I can think of is "Flaked", which I thought was excellent and also seemingly misunderstood by many reviewers.

Haha. I mean I don't know people that speak like they are trying to remember what it said in the script, and trying their hardest not to glance at the camera.

True. But the averageness of both Jessica Jones and Master Of None stood out in stark contrast to the inexplicable praise they both received. They weren't shitty shows, just perfectly…. average.

I have never seen people act like that in real life. Everyone except Aziz's girlfriend (who actually was very good) looked like they were taking turns reading off of cue cards. His parents looked like they were about to throw up from being nervous.

Wall-E, Ratatouille, Up, Toy Story 3, Inside Out…. I think the universal Toy Story 3 praise was the most inexplicable of all.

Netflix is the new Pixar.

They're playing the Purple Rain album now on The Current. Just started with When Doves Cry.

This might be what Tidal needed to finally get people to take a 30-day trial.

Indubitably.
