I gave up on the books a long time ago, but despite the (many) flaws I'm still looking forward the new season; it's well crafted, pure entartainment with occasional glimpses of greatness. I'm all in, bitches!

Maybe you misunderstood me. It's okay if the show is smarter than me or have to look smarter than me (after all I understand the nature of detective fiction), but in the last two seasons the creators themselves weren't as smart as they thought they are, so they used cheap tricks to create an illusion - as you pointed…
My original statement still stands: "It's annoying when a TV show is naturally not smarter than the viewer but it does everything to look smarter than the viewer."
Season 3 of Rick and Morty!
Wubba Lubba Dub Dub, bitch!
The one word always comes to my mind when I'm talking about the show is "commitment".
It's annoying when a TV show is naturally not smarter than the viewer but it does everything to look smarter than the viewer (hello, Fast Paced, Impossible-To-Follow Dialogues and Overcomplicated Mysteries!).

This season was a very special - but nearly not flawless - journey, with so many emotional and memorable moments. They tied up most of the storylines, at least thematically if not structurally.
As tragic it was, Hodor's destiny was the first meaningful death in a year with full of meaningless butchery. I found the execution extremely well done (Jack Bender knocked it out of the fucking park), and to admit I had to fight my tears back during the last scene (luckily, my girlfriend cried instead of me either).
I have a hard time to imagine, this show won't be in my personal top10 at the end of the year. Uplifting, gut-wrenching, beautiful #FuckYeahThePath
As a reader from a foreign country, who is only able to watch TV shows three-four-five hours late every week, I always look forward to this little séances, where I'm able to share my opinion with you about this special little show, and be among the first commenters of the thread.
This was the strongest hour of the show so far, with some extremely effective scenes, and in the end when I saw Eddie's face I thought: "Here we are, the pretending is over, the real story is going to unfold from now on." It will be a special and thrilling ride, I can feel it.
also I'm pretty drunk, so it's possible that I'm talking nonsense.
Mark my word: we have to watch Cal inevitable downfall in the first two season, and afther that Sarah is going to be the main villain of the series (the husband-wife showdown will be extremely painful to watch IMHO).
In the age of the internet, you often don't have the luxury to avoid spoilers (even minor ones) all weeks long, the structure itself makes you watch the whole thing in one sit. Besides - from the trailers and the synopsis - this is a Lost/True DetectiveS1-kind of series, where you have to appreciate the seven day long…
I haven't seen it yet, but I'm gonna watch the shit out of it - the creator and the astonishing cast alone makes worth the try. And I'm super happy Hulu sticks to the good old broadcast structure instead of the Netflix bullshit, it gives every series a more complex and satisfying watching-experience.
I was a huge fan of the first season and I enjoyed pretty much the premier, the fight scenes were top notch as usual - I can't think any other series, except Banshee which keeps operating on these level in terms of action and stage combat. The Punisher material looks pretty exciting, so I am really pumped for the rest…
WARNING: too much hyperbolism from me in this comment, but i just rewatching the series right now and its greatness got me off-guard .
In a strange way, I like Better Call Saul way more than it's predecessor; mainly because it proves that Gilligan (and his partner in crime Gould) can make compelling, even Earth shattering drama simply with complex, rich characters, without using any shocking or bloody twist, what made Breaking Bad so popular (and in…
