A call back:

And while I readily enjoyed The Americans (MAILBOT FTW!), I wouldn’t put it top 10 because of the problem I had with its narrative—-nothing really ever happens when you stop and think about it—-they do a slow burn, but nothing ever actually ignites. Even at the end, with the brilliantly acted parking garage scene…

lol at Dexter. Too true.

This Brit watched it religiously and never fails to answer questions about recommended TV with “Have you heard of Justified”?

It was underseen over here though.

Justified is top 10 material for me . We dug coal together. 

I was actually going to be pretty pleased with this list when I saw the top ten and then saw reassuringly that Atlanta and BoJack were just outside the top ten.

No Justified is a major omission. Perhaps the Brits just don’t get such a quintessentially American show. 

Whoa, Justified didn’t even make the list?

The Americans gave me so much anxiety I had to stop watching it.

Yeah but f**k that RC plane mission though.

And yet you can do everything “correct” and still have bad things happen to you.

I personally know someone who was a seat belt wearing back seat passenger and died because someone under the influence of drugs and looking at his phone plowed into the back of the car she was in at freeway speed and didn’t see that all…

Stop “just asking questions” if you won’t listen to the answers.

👍 In 1777 George Washington ordered that his soldiers be vaccinated against small pox. Their precious Founding Fathers would think these anti-vaxxers were idiots for being so reckless.

Mine was a classic tale of hubris. I was certain I was right, unassailable in my ivory tower, sneering at all who told me different until I found out (painfully) how wrong I was. I discovered that I could hate Rob Schneider more. After years believing my antipathy for him could go no further, I found out he was an…

English: it's wacky.

No, you’re dead because some asshole chose to get drunk and run a red light. You could have looked both ways and not seen him speeding through the red. You could have avoided that dark alley and been raped and murdered by your boyfriend. You could have avoided going upstairs at the frat party and a concerned ‘friend’…

Pretty sure you are being genuine so allow me to retort. Most people who victim blame (or in this case, more generally, put the onus squarely on women to protect themselves) COMPLETELY overlook the behavior from men. Words have meaning, and when you focus your words on one half of an equation while ignoring the fact th…

‘Listen, I would love to, but the way that you present yourself is not something I want to be associated with.’

This is an indicative summation of her intellect and her commitment to mentorship: She only provides guidance to people with whom she already wants to be associated. She’s the tutor that only accepts A…

I miss the days when they would blow their money on schools and libraries for the poor. That was nice 

I know nobody was counting or really guessing, but I’m still proud of guessing exactly what the winner and the ruse would be.
