Low key epic scene: that's two future Avengers bonding right there!

I would watch an entire show of Kate and Yelena riffing off each other.

Her character seems to be from another time, another show, and I believe, another decade. A one note, not believable, cardboard cut-out of a stereotype, I was hoping she would be caught in the (literal) crosshairs and dispatched to some teen show on the CW.

Here’s my question about the podcast stuff: who the hell would actually listen to that podcast? Nothing against Jamie Chung, because I’m sure it’s entirely the direction she’s given, but the delivery is so, so, so bad. Obviously, the dialogue is less than stellar. It’s just... really uncomfortable to listen to. I…

You forgot Molly “I’m a podcast star, radio is dead” Park. She’s the absolute worst.

The best part of the episode was seeing Dexter’s angry face as he enters the gym arena after he sees Kurt mentoring, and later hugging Harrison. He looked, convincingly, like he was going to really fuck Caldwell up (likely a sign of things to come). As it’s been the case from the very beginning, I would never watch…

In the short term, I somewhat disagree. Ghost Deb’s content is red hot right now; this might’ve been her best episode yet. Somebody’s having exactly the right kind of fun writing and staging it, and Carpenter seems to be having a blast too. When Hall and Carpenter have scenes together, I’m fully engaged.

Yes, the competition is fierce in Miami PD, but at least Quinn didn’t hide the fact he didn’t give a shit. Batista seemed to take himself seriously.

“who is in a fast-track to become the worst cop in Dexter’s history since Angel Batista.”

Best episode of the revival so far, though it’s very convenient how everyone quickly ate up Harrison’s stabbing story, especially Angela, who is in a fast-track to become the worst cop in Dexter’s history since Angel Batista.

Its hard to be optimistic when the last season of a show was so bad that it still haunts fans of the series. Coupled with one of the worst finales with a meme-ish worthy final scene.

This is the formula for a Showtime show:
-a known actor who makes you go “oh hey, look at them getting their own show”
-a premise that can only sustain its quality for a single season
-eight more seasons after that

There’s a lot to like about the later seasons of Michael C. Hall’s signature Showtime series—if you can overlook the bad

I’m here to stand up for season 5, I thought Julia Stiles was pretty great. I think it was the last stellar season. I think there might have been one OK season in the last 3 (which one is which is kind of fuzzy to me, and I’m not going to look it up).

5 was actually much better than 3 IMO. Not perfect, but you’d be forgiven for thinking the show was still flawed-but-good after that season. It only truly drove off a cliff in season 6.

I disagree with the love for season 4. Yes, it had John Lithgow chewing the scenery (does he do anything else?) but everything else was subpar. This is the point the series started relying heavily on shock and gore to distract from the poor storytelling, all of the B-plots were *terrible* as none of the supporting…

“It wasn’t as bad as you thought! I mean, it was still pretty bad, just not as bad as you remember. Wait...where are you going?”

There’s plenty of blame to go around here, but I honestly believe that the biggest share of the blame lies with Showtime’s executives. They, like every other premium/prestige TV channel, greenlight shows that realistically only have 3-4 seasons worth of story but then they push for those shows to go on and on and on…

How I Met Your Mother is the Dexter of sitcoms.

If we’re being honest, the show as never that good to begin with. It started out with an interesting premise in the first couple of seasons, but it was way too chickenshit to actually let that premise play out.
