I'm pretty sure the 'men can't be raped' silly thing is only meant for women raping men and not men raping men…I mean, Prison Rape is a go to 'joke' in many shows

Sure, and it fits nicely with the 'lock on heaven' stand up bit and the fact that it's constructed between scenes where Louie thins of himself as a great guy, and right after the episode where he's literally a Hurricane hero.

FX's slowly becoming The Matthew Rhys Channel with The Americans, Archer and this,and im totally ok with it honestly

I'm hoping he gets some free time for an unmissable Malcom & Sembene african flashback.

Nope, the same version is available to watch in latinamerica. There is a 'doubled in Spanish' version but its available for every netflix show.

I think the narration served its purpose well in the first 2 episodes. It served as a guide through tangentially related events on a huge time/space scope. The show knew it wasn't a character drama and didn't try to be. The show was awfully interesting and educational.

'Kids turn on their parents'

So Narcos isn't getting reviewed here?

No, it's called 'This is me', it's a 6 part docu-series on Amazon Prime. It was also produced (but not showrunned) by Jill Solloway.

I think there's an Amazon docu-series on trans people inspired on Transparent. I can't remember the name right now, but it was supposed to be out this month or the next.

Oh ok, I guess it being an event makes more sense then :)

I don't think it's 'realest' point of view though. It is definitely manufactured into giving audiences a 'wow, this guy in a shitty country miles away he has nothing yet he's optimistic, I should be grateful for what I have' feeling, which is kind of a exploitative approach to poverty. I mean, a third world country…

I don't buy the whole family watching a Telenovela during the birth. The extreme telenovela obsession feels like something US writers like as an idea and then assume it's got to be a part of their identity. I'm latino while not mexican though, so i might be wrong.

I guess that classism joke changed how i saw the show, from a 'wacky bro-y Jack Black comedy' to an outside-USA perspective on US politics. The satirical tone doesn't feel celebratory from this side.

Twice Man Ass in this episode. Is this really True Detective?????

I thought it was implied Frank Semyon was the gay one though, he gave me more vibes than Paul anyway

The Dominos Pizza joke sold the pilot for me though. It was SO ON POINT over classism in developing countries. I don't think ive ever seen this perspective in television. American media is usually only interested in developing countries when they get to use our poverty or our violence - which feels rather…

I like to think of it as a culmination rather than a rehash, but it's true that the thematical landscape has changed enough from the 2000's Golden Age. It's a different one, but i'm pretty sure there's still a Golden Age, it's just that the TCA with it's five noms per category isn't very representative. Todd VdW…

Apparently it's also better than Rectify.
