True, she was a much better character than Rory. Would have liked them to somehow meet though.

I also loved that show but I broke off watching after one of my favorite characters “died” and never got back into it. Just too much of an emotional roller coaster. But it was my jam for a while. Even though the premise prevented me from watching it for a bit, just seemed too silly, the cast is incredible and more…

I felt the same way about Cobra Kai. But now I’m very much enjoying an alternate universe where a high school karate tournament impacts everybody’s entire lives. Most of the kids are really good actors and get to go through believable growth arcs, such as Miguel and Hawk turning into badasses in order to not get…

my MVP was Grandpa Joe AKA Barristan Selmy. He was very funny, but also intimidating, even when he’s carrying a wee little baby around all the time. Was very sweet with Orla too. Though yeah, I also loved Sister Michael.

It was a great aesthetic for her! I saw the internet unfavorably comparing her look to Margot Robbie’s in the Harley Quinn films, but I think there is room for two pale sociopaths in fiction. And the soundtrack, as you mention, was also great! And setting.

Jonny Lee Miller is the bomb.

Same! One of those dumb TV tropes where the couple suddenly starts getting into a ton of silly fights right when the hot new guy comes into town. The hot sociopath who is only nice to Rory and treats everyone else like garbage.

I think that part of that is if they switched Rory’s dialogue from mentioning books and movies she likes to actually offering in-depth critique they would have lost a lot of their audience on the CW. The show sort of built itself on quick, snappy dialogue with tons of references and allusions instead of lengthy,…

Same, at least Dean wasn’t an entitled dick who lashed out at everyone around him for his own amusement like Jess and Logan. He just wasn’t quite as innately intelligent as Rory and definitely didn’t have her wealthy relatives or educational opportunities. Ah well, at least he got to smack Jess after he got too fresh…

It was neat seeing him lean into a different brand of comedy. Cause I’d enjoyed him in his early Guy Ritchie stuff, but then he switched into no-nonsense badass mode for Transporter and almost never looked back for a while, then he got into the Fast and Furious stuff which is funny at times but obviously a different…

I felt the same way about Schitt’s Creek. I thought it was a Canadian knock-off of Arrested Development, but it really came into its own and the characters ended up being a lot nicer and more loving than their AD counterparts.

I also liked Atomic Blonde and prefer it to John Wick, but I feel like you’re being kind of unfair to Keanu Reeves. Even if he’s not my favorite actor, and he isn’t, consigning him to “dull living statue” is drastically undervaluing his acting skills.

I like “Atomic Blonde” and Winstead and Harrelson a whole lot, so it is a shame “Kate” couldn’t find a way to bring all those things together into something enjoyable.

I watched that when I was a kid! Loved it. And while the show never hinted at it, I had a feeling Mandy and Clover were going to eventually hook up. All that arch-enemy passion has to go somewhere.

Shore Leave can do a spin-off squad of Sphinx (Sphinx!) that manage the jobs that require firearms because Longshot sucks and Brock has an aversion to them. Shore Leave can drag Gary along, if the latter feels like being a hero again.

I came here to say the same thing. Shore Leave, and to a lesser extent, Ray from Archer, pull off Queer people in espionage way better than this show appears to do. Hell, even “D.E.B.S.” seems better and that movie is practically ancient. I love Shore Leave because unlike this show which seems to hide behind a “woke…

Matthew Lillard is a good actor. He’s been in some obviously uninspiring stuff like the Scooby-Doo films, but he’s also been in “SLC Punk” and “Twin Peaks: The Return” and “Good Girls” which are decent to great. As well as “Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated” which was a surprisingly good show. And he was in the…

It was, except the ending was only sort of satisfying for a single-season run. The concept was great, but I agree with you that they can’t just rely on that as the episodes go on. They’ll have to have something more definitive. Though they gave some hints of what could happen in the fine couple episodes, I was…

If Kathryn Hahn shows up, count me in!
