I’m curious why the reviewer seems to have such beef with this season, comparing it negatively to past seasons and accusing the show of intellectual and political aggrandizing. The reviews are mostly recappy so I don’t get much sense of what thematically or stylistically is so bothersome. To me it was one of the most…

Ok so now you’re a mind reader, and you’re annoyed and petty enough to call her out. She must know the truth! Wow, you’re super smart.

You’re technically “correct” on your point but wrong in your motivations. Take a fucking seat.

Grandstanding and being fussy about minuscule items (that truly have little to do with the larger points the article makes) just so you can feel smart counts as pretentious.

Just sayin’—don’t be a pretentious troll. TV reviewers have to churn out a lot of content in a small amount of time, even if that makes them “artsy types.”

Literally two words earlier she said “phycology,” and unless she was talking about the study of algae, I can only assume it was a simple typo. It happens.
