yeah i watched it with the family and we were entertained. an enthusiastic C+. 

Also: I want a Tron wedding.

This is a delightful piece of Netflix fluff, better than 99% of what’s on Netflix. I thoroughly enjoyed it. At this point Netflix movies should not be reviewed like feature films: Yes, if you saw this in a theater you would be disappointed, but that is never going to happen. See it on your couch as it’s meant to be…

Are you Black American? I don’t mean that to be confrontational, I’m curious. If so, where did you grow up? Because I’m Black, I grew up in major east coast cities in the 90s and if the NOI did not have a huge following, they sure had a huge presence. I don’t think you appreciate how central they were for African…

An A.V. Club C- is a real world B or B+. I know this from experience, or, pretty much every time it happens. 

She was fantastic as a nightmare mom in The Mindy Project.

Yeah but Carla Tortelli is his grand mother, so maybe it makes sense?

Look, I can suspend my disbelief to an extent, but there’s no way the child of David Duchovny and Julia Louis-Dreyfus is going to come out looking like Jonah Hill.

Because the NOI are very anti semitic, and it makes for bigger clash than just a garden variety Muslim family would have been when it comes to meeting their daughter’s Jewish partner and his family.

In most of their posts about the show, I’m left with one conclusion about Kotaku and TLOU: They post shitty, inane takes to get people to comment how shitty and inane their takes are. These aren’t the real views of the author, it’s just nonsense to drive engagement.

Just aptly summarized the difference between the two mediums that some people just can’t wrap their heads around.

Yeah, I dunno. Playing as Joel spending 15 minutes trying to stealth kill every bandit is exciting and tense.

The show is well-received by real critics and viewers. But people who make dumb takes for a living are still going to make their dumb takes, like this.

This is nonsense. 16 paragraphs of nonsense

It seems like journalists couldn’t stop singing this show’s praises after the first episode and now everyone is grasping at straws trying to find flaws to write about. This can be a good adaptation and not have every aspect of the game. And really it shouldn’t. Let’s be honest, if it was incredibly accurate to the…

“the director of the episode—none other than co-executive producer and creator of the game himself, Neil Druckmann—had the audacity to film it as an almost dreamy, romantic moment between Tess and the infected host.”

Tess is a few things in the game, but dynamic is not one of them.

i love how we’re supposed to accept that the opinion of @Slaaayfabe, who has all of 18 followers, speaks to what all people are thinking. great site, guys

I finally got around to watching this show, wondering what the fuss was all about. It’s not bad, just good but not great IMHO; it’s just about something we haven’t seen before (unless it’s a reality show about restaurants with problems that need solving). There’s very little airtime devoted to the food, and a lot of…
