That's what Game of Thrones is, and it made the list.

OITNB was so good this year. It's too bad the controversial ending overshadowed the amazing storytelling and character work of the rest of the season.
My list of my favorite (mostly non-prestige drama) shows
There's something smug and self-satisfied about CEG. I also feels like it thinks its subverting television tropes much more than it really is. Rebecca's presented as a sympathetic character who's the victim of sexism and her mental illness, she's constantly doing crazy shit for laughs in a way that's supposed to be…
I enjoyed all three. I don't expect superhero movies to be high art or have perfectly articulated plot lines and three-dimensional characters. They all just kinda blend together.
The Ruins was fantastic. I'm in awe that Scott Smith was able to take a story that was basically Little Shop of Horrors in Mexico and make it genuinely scary and atmospheric instead of just entertainingly campy.
I think so too. Jessica Jones stuck with me long after I finished it because it focused on characters instead of crazy fights and conspiracies. I haven't seen much of Luke Cage, but from what I remember, it was much, much deeper than any superhero movie was because it wasn't trying to pander to the whitest… oops, I…
Yeah, and the fact that there was more than just one female character who was the sidekick and/or love interest for the male lead makes me want to give Suicide Squad at least some credit.
I'm going to play devil's advocate and say that I didn't think that Suicide Squad was appreciably worse than any other superhero movie I've seen. No, we didn't need a five-minute montage for the two dozen characters in the ensemble, and yes, Harley Quinn was infantalized and oversexualized in kind of an off-putting…
I really enjoyed Man Seeking Woman and Love. Hollywood generally portrays romance as so bombastic and grand, so it was refreshing to see dating and romance portrayed as so personal and small-scale.
It's really gory and explicit, but I thought it was entertaining in a ridiculous and campy way. Janet Montgomery is also fantastic as Mary. I guess now that it's been cancelled, you'll know that you only have thirty-nine episodes to watch if you do decide to check it out.
Respectfully, I disagree. It doesn't fit into the cliche of Dumb, Bumbling Dad, Exasperated Killjoy Wife, Bratty Teen Daughter, Nerdy Other Daughter and Dumb Broey Son. It might be too mainstream or broad for you, but I don't see it as much more cliche than any other broadcast comedy and I'd even argue it's one of…
Kinda. It also has a predominantly black ensemble instead of an overwhelmingly white one.
I watch American Housewife and Teachers on a regular basis and I've seen the first episodes of Those Who Can't and Speechless, neither of which were for me. Like you said, Katie Mixon's performance is fantastic in American Housewife and the rest of her family is for the most part, very specific and entertaining…
I felt the same way. I really enjoyed the first season of You're the Worst and appreciated the second season, and the third season was a total letdown in comparison. Jimmy and Gretchen were so broad and cartoonish in their awfulness and I felt like the writers were leaning on the tragedy of Jimmy's father's death to…
Nothing. Parks and Rec is a perfectly justifiable rewatch regardless of what else is airing.
Based on the trailer, all of the white people have ye olde timey, gen-yoo-wine British accents because they're from Europe and this took place in the past.
Yeah, she would count. I didn't know about her talk show until you brought it up.
Yeah, I get it. There've been a lot of recent projects that've seemed pretty autobiographical, having a low tolerance for shows that fit into this narrow genre makes sense, especially because a lot of them come from a very similar perspective. I'm personally getting tired of comedies that are really just short dramas…
I interpreted "late night comedy" as a late night talk show, which I haven't seen fictionalized in the past. This might end up being similar to other movies/ tv shows about Hollywood, but I think it's a bit too early to judge. Tropic Thunder and Soapdish both managed to be funny and original despite being movies about…
