Stop worrying about the magical realism, Richard Price's great novel The Wanderers made into a good movie, used magical realism. It imagined the early sixties through myth not reality and captured the essence of the era that was so transcendent better than any documentary. I should know I was there and my memories are

and she fired the long term secretary, not nice at all.

the cat and the hearse, are both out there,

my main problem with the subplot is that it makes Stone too much of a schlub, he is obviously a good attorney with court room instincts, but his situation alone, without the feet, would show a disheveled harassed foot soldier, once you throw in the sandals he crosses into cloud cuckoo land.

every case has loose ends, how true, If only the sheep following the Serial podcast could have been told that, there is no mathematical certainty only proof beyond a reasonable doubt, that is why , in the system, resources and the attorney have an outsized influence.

greatest Red Foxx quote "bend over baby I'll drive you to Newark" how I miss saying that.

Ok this show needs work , first of all too much profanity not because it's profanity, it just feels forced, pick your spots boys. Second why are they wasting Busy Philips , but that's a whole other issue. However, I must say ALL the kids getting wasted was a little bit of a surprise, and somewhat real. Also Gamby

I have practiced criminal law for over 40 years, this show is consistently accurate in it's depiction of the "Criminal Justice" system in this country. Of course there are some small quibbles [Jack Stone would be bankrupt if he took so many cases at 250 a pop] but overall the chaos, humor and arbitrary terror of the

Why the hell does Stone need to care about the Khan's financial predicament , he is going to work his butt off for the kid and needs to get paid. If the Khan's roof blew off would you ask the roofer who would rebuild the house not to get paid?

Maybe she offed herself,

i usually don't get nervous with the most violent or suspenseful movie, but this had me yelling at the TV screen. I have practiced criminal law for over 30 years and when Turturro[Stone] had the kid repeat "I refuse to answer" out loud even after he acknowledged that he understood , I had to laugh , so real, every

great season, going to miss this show, jeez I want her to shoot Humphrey's but it would be bad for Dai,

Too bad the Warriors can't go back in time and stop Donald Trump.

the whole idea of the DJ was that there was a complete alternative society out there, invisible to the average stiff.

Thank you Mr. AV Club, I love this movie, so surreal and real, the scruffy girls were sexier than any disco princess, and yes the scene with the Prom kids on the train was priceless, almost scary because most viewers identified themselves with the prom kids, and what a loss of manhood to be silently stared down like

Damn, the Little Birds were the toughest short guy gang since the Ducky Boys in the great unsung movie The Wanderers

OMG this is the best show on TV , the acting is off the charts [see Vanessa's talk with John Claire aka Frankenstein's monster] {or anytime Lily is on the screen] , the sets and backgrounds fantastic [especially London, and the graveyard scene with Lily, couldn't have been painted better by an H.P. Lovecraft

hey I thought this episode was pretty good, some stuff actually advanced, The Dragon Queen is back and probably pissed, Arya is freed, Cersi is screwed, Jamie has an intact army to unscrew Cersi, maybe he will turn on this king to, that whole daddy thing may be overrated to him.

in a show with many many great women, Hecate stood out

ok Hecate can summon an army of snakes, but can't divine water? or make it rain!, anyway stuck alone in a desert cave with her, any guy would go to the dark side.
