I actually am prone to punch a table that I stub my toe on. People, never, but a table, yes.

Jon Hamm is so terrific and versatile and he’s been wasted way too often in recent years.

Pretty decent finale but I was annoyed watching it on live traditional TV with the way they broke it up. 2 mins of content, ad, 3 mins of content, ad, and so on. They really stretched out the run time here.

That wasn’t what I was expecting at all, and I loved it.

A few things kinda leads me to it:

Season 2 was meandering junk, and season 3 was overrated dreck.

I’m cool with the supernatural angle. Another rote cop thriller doesn’t appeal. Get weird. 

Calling it right now:

I thought there were a lot of elements successfully planted in the opener; whether or not they’ll pay off remains to be seen. The openly supernatural aspect is on one level fine but on another a little jarring given how the show has previously handled the hints of it; they’re going to have to walk a fine line with how…

Alright, I’m in. First episode was a bit of a slow, dry burn. It seems more like its own thing than True Detective. There’s no noir narration and the two leads seem more detached to the viewer compared to their predecessors. We’re introduced to them in a more naturalistic way instead of the scenery chewing exposition…

It’s Bai Ling, I don’t think she does photos any other way, kinda her schtick. Besides, when friends pass, we can’t control the photos we already took with them.

Jesus, that’s awful. The poor wife and mother losing her husband and her young children all at once. She should not be alone.

I get it. He’s good-looking, charismatic, willing to make fun of himself, works hard and is funny enough for mainstream America.

I don’t think of Kevin Hart as a plant (more of a shrub ZING!) but now that I think of it, I can’t think of anything he did between bit parts on Freaks and Geeks and the 40 Year Old Virgin and becoming “Kevin Hart,” A-list star.

i remember i had canceled netflix for a while a re-signed up when they announced his new specials.

I’m frankly a bit amazed that Tillman has managed to keep this empire afloat for however many decades it’s been. He doesn’t appear to be particularly intelligent (“Oh you think you’re so smart, well how about I SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE SMART GUY”), he’s very obviously doing crimes (including kidnapping and murder!) that…

I’ve been told snark for snark’s sake is why we’re still here. And admittedly, this was a good one: “Ford, who is still with the project, called the upcoming Phase 5 capper, Captain America: Brave New World, a “piece of shit,” and we were all supposed to pretend he was kidding”-

You do realize that there is a middle ground between “everything Marvel does is amazing” and “there’s some superhero fatigue so everything Marvel makes is an unsalvageable mess,” right? Yes, recently some things have been underwhelming (Quantumania, Secret Invasion), and some have underperformed (The Marvels), but…

Segwaying?
