The whole "but I've fallen for you now" schtick didn't resonate at all. A cliche this show should rise above.

You ARE the only one. The Felix character is like that. That's just his personality. It doesn't get in the way at all for me. I do not see the show's creators as doing anything other than creating a well-realized character who happens to be upfront about being gay. I don't see them as having some kind of "agenda".…

The timing on that comment was so great! Those two really have chemistry.

I would definitely say it's life-affirming but in the most original and non-cliched ways. Like real life. Things you wouldn't think were life-affirming to hear described to you, but are in a experiential sense. Or people bringing out the best in each other during bad times. It's kind of like that. Dark things happen,…

It was, absolutely, hypnotic. I dreamed about it, too. Really more of a nightmare in that I was like Daniel and couldn't relate even to the most "mundane" things around me. What a show.

Death can be a relief. I don't think being pissed on offers much in that area.

How the heck is it sexual abuse?

I think you're way over the top with calling it sexual abuse. It was humiliation brought as close to sexual abuse as possible without crossing the line to show Ted, Jr. what it was like. And I, like others, are somewhat puzzled how you could find Ted, Jr. a sympathetic character. I mean, he asked Daniel why he just…

I could see Norman doing it and framing Bradley because he is so pissed at her.

Yeah I was confused about that, too.

Yeah, well…there's that!

Yeah, Daniel's comments about "going through with it or not" when he was referencing his look inside Hannah's house had just enough ambiguity in it to really creep me out. And it obviously had an adverse effect on Tawney, too. It definitely dimmed some of the light in her eyes. Any other show would have been more…

When Aiden had that fight with Takeda I was, "Alright, he's finally going to get written out!" No such luck, though.

This show makes me understand how conditioned I am to unrealistic dramatic conventions that permeate even good shows. Daniel and his mom sitting in the car is a good example. Just waiting until the reporters go away. Any other show would have had some kind of harrowing confrontation.

It didn't register with me, either. But I don't necessarily think the reviewer's interpretation is wrong, now that I have been made aware of it.

I hope they don't do away with the brother, he's a good character. I knew that once Norma acted nice toward him and asked him to go to dinner with her that something would happen to screw it up. I like this show even though it is flawed. I like the relationship between Norman and Emma but you just know that it is…

I'd watch a whole show with Norma and Emma as off-kilter, and in one case, deranged, lay investigators running into all sorts of weird crap. Kind of like "Murder She Wrote" meets "Twin Peaks". That sequence between them was gold. Their timing was so good! Vera Farigma is a comedy talent. I didn't realize it until I…

Their relationship is the heart of the show. I liked how he realized he had a huge disconnect with his alien daughter, especially when he walked into the bar and wanted to go up to her and saw top-hat Iranthien (or whatever) counseling her and kind of taking his place because he has a genetic empathy he could never…

Yeah, this thing is so different in tone from what you usually see on TV that I feel like supporting it for that alone. But the fact of the matter it's pretty compelling in its own right. I was hesitant to watch because of all the talk of slow pacing, but it's really not much of an issue. You don't see programs this…

I have Xfinity OnDemand and it carries Sundance shows in HD. It was a must for "Top of the Lake" and its a must for this, too.
