These reviews really mystify me. I’m completely captivated.

This comes out of left field for me, and I’d only noticed the show’s title on TV primere date schedules for 2019, without knowing what it’s about.
Natasha Lyonne and director Jamie Babbit’s best known collaboration is But I’m a Cheerleader, maybe my favorite modern romantic comedy and maybe the best LGBT themed movie, very ahead of its time as a scathing expose of gay conversion therapy.
Agree, huge Natasha Lyonne fan, she is so funny and charismatic but also so real, so am excited to watch this. Though I don’t understand how the Groundhog Day premise can sustain an ongoing series exactly or what the central mystery even is. But I interested to find out.
I’ll watch Natasha Lyonne in anything, but this sounds great. Can’t wait to see it.
Counterpart with J.K. Simmons is amazing. I hope it gets to finish it’s run. Maybe deals like this will make it possible, so I’m all for it.
I haven’t been in the “Amelia had something to do with it” conspiracy theory camp, but her asking Wayne on the 80s dinner date if Will’s death could be accidental made my ears perk. Could he have fallen on that bloody rock?
I would have never thought that an unfortunate misunderstanding between black folk and police could ever wring even a bit of humor, but Ali and the writing were as great here as it was realistic.
How big of a moron do you have to be to make light of sexual assault or Terry Crews, let alone both?
Best 5 seconds ever.
You know D.L. is going to be like “Oh shit, I was talking about you? I thought I was talking about the Texas Senator guy, you know the one who ended up working a phone bank for Trump after Trump called his wife ugly...”
Yes, please do slap the shit out of him. I would pay to watch Terry Crews slap DL Hughley until Hughley soils himself.
And as I pointed out elsewhere, the circumstances of the scenes were very different. Roland seemed to be offering Tom genuine compassion, which helped soften Tom’s perspective toward the people trying to help him. Amelia seemed to be connecting with Lucy, only to overplay her hand regarding her interest in the case,…
As awful as Lucy’s words were, I thought it was clear that she was so upset because she suddenly realized she was being used instead of offered true, selfless compassion. And from the viewer’s perspective, we know that this is the beginning of Amelia’s greater interest in the case, so Lucy’s anger wasn’t totally…
Ali and Dorff are great and will keep me tuning in no matter what. but yeesh there is like no damn story here four hours in.
“...in Pizzolatto land, at least for this episode, redemption is for long-suffering men, not the women whom they suffer.”
Ugh. Fucking seriously? You’re trying to paint Pizzolatto as some kind of narrative misogynist from the scantest of evidence here. It’s an angle the review doesn’t need. This isn’t Jezebel.
“How can you wear that badge?”
“It’s got a little clip on it.”
Marry me, Mr. Ali.
Scoot McNairy as Tom Purcell is giving a really strong performance and is probably one of the ones I’m most interested to see play out after Ali’s. Not my favorite episode of the season and not reaching the heights of the first for me, but I’m still generally enjoying it.
Fugeddaboudit.... No seriously I think this is great. I hope this movie is really good and works as a prequel to the show that kicked off the Golden Age of Television.
Black Panther had some of the worst CGI on film this year.
