Theres a whole episode and it's both lovely and emotionally deft and funny.

Upto ep4 already. So far Im liking it better than season 1 but there hasn't be anything as good as Indians On TV yet.

I'm a fucking delight yes.

I'd be more worried if there had been a second date especially if she insisted it was at her place.

I don't want to say the problem is capitalist in nature but its certainly late stage capitalist in nature.

Yes yes and if you made a film set near Manchester in the UK in the 60s about a couple who murder children and bury them on the moors it'd be just using Brady and Hindleys crimes to tell a completely different story that oh oops ends up excusing/mitigating one half of the couple for no good reason.
Sure.
Or how about…

Bingo.

Let's not get into the whole Jewish man mocking Pakistani youths thing.

Pop culture reporting has been overtly and bluntly (to the point of stupidity in some cases) political for years now. Trump was a logical extension of that and the feedback loop of outrage and clicks and coverage demonstrates that quite well.

I suppose you're right but ugh that's honestly awful. It sounds like the film goes out of its way to be thoughtful and not exploitative but then deliberately makes excuses for one half of the couple because it doesn't want to deal with the nasty truth. Yet wants to play at being sober and mature with out being either.

If this is based on the Birnie murders why have they changed the story to make Catherine a grooming victim? They were the same age and met as teenagers and there isn't evidence to suggest she was manipulated in the way this film seems to portray the relationship. It'd be like making a Moors Murderers drama and…

Most of that is either from the boys which makes sense, or from Beverley herself when she's getting the idea of becoming a woman. It's absolutely a tricky line to walk but there's nothing in the story that suggests King is getting off on it.

Everyone says this about every decade before the one they are currently.

Dennis finding a legit excuse to be an authority figure for a bunch of teenage girls? I can see that.

There's that while thing with the angel of death that seems to be setting up a concluding film. But yes there is at least some closure to the Liz and Hellboy stuff.

Yeh I get all that and agree. My point was in response to Zen's description of whiteish which included a huge house and no money worries which doesn't work as synonymous with white.

Oh shit that just reminded about the whole Divine Brown thing. Now I understand the OP asking what was Grant thinking.

"it was the best of times, it was the blurst of times…?"
"You stupid monkey!"

Hotdamn new Sense8 has me all kinds of excited. There's truly nothing at all like it on TV and never has been, it's ludicrously brilliant and should not work at all but it does it really does.

ooof, I dropped 50 quid on it last week, I've played about 30 hours (just done the kett facility/exalted stuff_ and im enjoying it quite a bit but I've had to force myself to push through quite a lot of crappy designs and bugs and lack of explaining some mechanics and mapping and oh christ the mining in the nomad too……
