Still can't get past the fact that the woman on the right in the Olympus picture has this look that says "I do NOT want to be here."

I don't know what that is, but you do tend to recommend good stuff. Would you mind enlightening us?
No more noisy bubble wrap? How else are my friends and I supposed to reenact the drug dealer scene from "Boogie Nights," huh? Firecrackers are too damn expensive!
Oh I feel the same way, there have been countless critically-acclaimed shows that were never noticed by the Emmys. And I agree that a writing nomination might be less likely than I've predicted. However, Matthew Rhys's performance has been lauded by critics since the first season—and after this season, he's on pretty…
That's a good question. I think when an actor has to depart a show for various reasons and thus necessitate a script being artificially adjusted, we're always going to wonder what could have been. (Season five in particular is a good example, but I think there were a lot of other things wrong with it that made it the…
I think the first season was sort of unexpected in terms of the show's quality. FX had certainly established itself as a good place for drama, but judging from the amount of pre-air hype it came in slightly overlooked. It certainly wasn't by the end of the season, though. Then the second season came and elevated it to…
Happy Fourth of July to you too sweetie! Yes, it's nice and sunny here finally. And I sure could use some sweet tea, haha. All the best to you.
As disappointing as it was that Dillahunt had to depart the show and thus got a fairly anticlimactic sendoff, I think that Jonathan Tucker filled in almost perfectly as Boon. He managed to be entrancing and terrifying all at once, and that extra scene with him and the hipster at the ice cream parlor made him that much…
It was an incredible season, and definitely solidified the show's place as a top three series on TV. Managed to have even better storytelling and acting than before (Matthew Rhys getting an Emmy nomination is a near-certainty). And that last scene of the season finale…wow.
Don't forget the unnecessary puzzles and stealth sections! Actually, some of the puzzles were entertaining. But the frigging "get behind the Cobra Tank" sections…ugh.
I'll check it out after I'm finally done with Batman: How About We Drive the Batmobile Some More.
The guy who played him, Norbert Leo Butz, is a great actor and did as much as he could with the character. I certainly don't fault him. I just thought that the character of Kevin was less well-written compared to some of the other leads. Just wasn't interested in his whole "hothead of the family" arc as much. To each…
Alan Sepinwall had him in his Emmy nominee selection for best supporting actor in a drama. I think you could argue that he was actually a lead actor, but hey, whatever helps Ben get an Emmy more easily is fine by me. It was one of the best performances of the year.
I think the show lost its momentum when it tried to do too many things at once. Some of the characters, such as Kevin and Sally, were just uninspiring or not fleshed out enough to garner interest from the audience. But taken as a character study on Danny and a look at the effects of familial dysfunction, I think it…
Deadwood is one of my favorite shows of all time. That being said, the one point I'd make about the dialogue is that at times it's too unconventional for some people to get into. (I know from experience, I recommended it to a lot of folks and a few of them said they just couldn't understand the plot because of how…
Haha, we won't hold it against you. Also, I saw your "Life is Strange" pick and wanted to get your take on it. It's gotten some great reviews, I just haven't gotten around to playing it. Is it really that good?
If they're making 20 minute-long videos deconstructing the scientific accuracy(!) of "Edge of Tomorrow," it's a safe bet they'll find fault with the "Breaking Bad" finale.
This season of True Detective has been fairly divisive so far, so that's a surprising pick. I've been enjoying it more often than not, but I wonder what it is about it that would set it apart from other prestige TV.
Those sound fine to me. I think Bloodline is pretty underrated. It's not a perfect show by any means, but it has an original, fleshed-out universe and one of the best performances of the year with Ben Mendelsohn. I really hope he gets nominated for an Emmy.
I WATCH FURY ROAD!
