She was really good in a Peter Morgan project called Longford where she played the most hated woman in Britain, Myra Hindley.  I'm kinda hot and cold on the entire film but she's pretty damn solid.

She’s great in Cheers as the woman whose dog bites Cliff, but who then seduces him when he tries to bring a lawsuit against her.

At least with DA they started with, like, a core dozen characters and built out. Here they dropped us in on two fully staffed households, two side dowagers, Nathan Lane, an affluent black family, a railroad, a printing press, and the origins of the Red Cross! I’ll keep watching for the visuals and some of the history,…

Fair. The character(s) on Gilded Age are only one season-in, so they might get better and more interesting arcs as the show progresses. 

Sure, this is the AV Club, but, man, how many of us of all ages have actually dared sit through Gone With The Wind, ya know?

Also, for all that the justified criticism that the end of Game of Thrones got, one bit that really impressed me was how it neatly sidestepped all the potential for Dany’s ending to come off as a message of “women should never have power” by also having Sansa end up in charge of the North, which is presented…

Hey I didn’t make this show!

Idk, maybe I’m just sick of all this. It’s supposed to be Mature Fantasy for Grown-Ups but no matter how much of a cultural phenomenon it’s become it all feels like something made for the least socially adjusted guy in your high school’s D&D club.

I really want to see an AVC hack write an essay on, oh, I dunno, cheese.

Of course, it’s sad when anyone dies, but Elizabeth was 96 years old and had spent 60 of them as queen, the nation had been expecting her passing.

I know it’s helped me stay healthier with regards to cold and flu as well. It’s was was also helpful last week when the smoke from the nearby wildfires made air quality abysmal.

Honestly I have gotten so use to wearing a mask that even if they said Covid is gone tomorrow, I think I’d still wear it in an indoor public place just to reduce my chance of getting the flu or a cold.  

“As it turns out, Hader was not paranoid or virtue signaling by donning the mask.”

A blanket statement that erases the existence of disabled people and people with certain conditions is ableism.

Statements like “At work occasionally someone will get it, be out sick for a couple days, then are back at it,” implicitly erase the experience of all kinds of people for whom a COVID infection is far, far more serious.

This take, while widespread, is incredibly ableist.

What a juvenile display: pretending to be drunk and dragged onto the stage. The whole world got to watch as yet another Black woman has to stand by and wait for a vain white man to stop acting like a fool. Four hundred years of patience on that woman’s face, smh.

Yeah, how else would people be drawn to her little Emmy-winning network comedy if it weren’t for Jimmy Kimmel?!

Goddamit, Olenna was awesome. I’m enjoying the new show, but I’d like to see some characters with a little more wit around, just to lighten the mood a bit. Then again, just might not be what they’re going for.

This show is just OK. This feels on par with the better episodes of the final seasons of GoT. I’m hoping things improve with the time jump.
