Coupling was a very solidly-constructed sitcom, if you ignore the last season. Unfortunately that still feels like his highwater mark after all these years.

Yeah, I’ll never quite understand the common choice to do shows about sexuality and then be chaste in terms of what’s actually depicted.
I’d never actually heard of Miracle Workers. Clicked on the link expecting recaps of (or at least a review of) the first season but it’s just to the equivalent article to this for all of last year? Guess that helps explain how I never heard of it, if that’s the extent of the A.V. Club’s coverage.
Ronald D. Moore has had an interesting trajectory in terms of space shows, going from DS9, then after basically getting run out of Voyager for trying to tell stories that actually respected the ostensible premise of the show he made a much more grounded space show (and showed how Voyager should have handled its…
She had a really great recurring role in Santa Clarita Diet, at least.
Lovecraft’s body of work is a lot of things, but “badly written” definitely isn’t one of them.
First handful of episodes, at least, have Geralt’s plotlines center each episode around him arriving in a new place and being pulled into the Monster Problem Of The Week. And the other two characters have broadly similar structure, if a bit more sequential, sometimes very explicitly mirroring the plot and themes of…
Between this and J.K. Rowling it's been a banner week for people realizing things suck that they probably shoulda realized years ago.
It’s also that Gaiman almost literally has only one story to tell, so all his damn works overlap to the point at which I honestly mix them up a lot of the time. It was the folks behind the scenes that are now gone that gave American Gods the depth and value it had.
Well hey it worked (financially; not at all creatively) for The Walking Dead!
It can be two things!
I hope you get fired for the blunder of not recognizing the The Simpsons reference!
I caught some of this accidentally at a restaurant while down in the States last weekend, and yeahhhh, was it dire. Although I guess I left before (or wasn’t paying attention when)
If this all ends with a “it was all in Elliot’s head” twist I’m gonna be pretty disappointed.
Yeah these videos are kindof wasted, I don’t imagine many people actually watch through them (then again we also know that at least for a long time the venture capital overlords of this site didn’t bother with any analytics or monetization of their videos, so who even knows).
Clearly The North doesn’t remember if it’s gotta resort to Google!
The elephant was at least kindof explained on screen in a line by Ozy, where in response to a question about how he learned something he said “an elephant whispered it to me” or something, which implied to me that using elephants to copy and/or extract folks' memories was a tech he'd developed.
The actor whose name I also forget and so shall also refer to as Kellogg does have some decent acting chops, so I feel like given enough time he could have sold it, but of course he barely had any time onscreen at all, just enough time for me to go “oh hey, that’s Kellogg!”
I have no idea how we’re covering the conclusion of “Crisis” here at TV Club, but we’ve got a month to figure it out.
