His comment was fine and didn’t merit “Get lost,dude” , all he said was “struggling to live up to their potential”. While The Mandalorian and other shows have been great, I really can’t imagine anyone watching Rise of Skywalker or Solo and thinking that Star Wars has been living up to its potential.

Wow, way to stand up for the hard-working below-the-line folks.

An odd suggestion. Some hard work goes into pretty much all media--doesn’t mean I have to be satisfied with it.

Tired: turning beloved works of anime into inevitably inferior live action products.

I didn’t get that from this season at all.

This is a bad take.

I think this show captures perfectly the paranoia of our times, people are either in denial or complete lack of understanding the true issues and well... they think and act all kind of crazy.

Each to their own, but I found the season, and especially the frantic all-over-the-place finale, brilliant - maybe the best they’ve done (though maybe not the initial Diane/Kurt storyline). I was hesitant about Wackner’s court but found it actually a highlight and a good vessel for the stories (if metaphorical) they

The delivery on the rueful observation that it was a hard year in which to be a “human”, whoof. Directly in the feels.

I mean what we’re seeing now- in the real world- is that it may well be impossible to do real transformative change “from the inside” so it’s either quit or work for a system that was built on old slavecatching patrols and still serves to maintain a white supremacist status quo. 

I think that a comedy about cops has some responsibility to recognize that the police are a fucked up organization. We’re at the point with the police (and, in particular, the NYPD) that you really do need to find a way to justify making a show that depicts them as lovable goofballs rather than violent abusers!

My favorite small detail is that Holt asks Amy “how’s” everything going, when they’ve repeatedly established that Holt only uses contractions when he’s lying. And we find out later he’s deliberately trying to hide his separation from her.

I watched both episodes before reading your reviews. The amount of time and considerable thought you put into a show others would consider to be a “simple sit-com” is admirable; this is one of those shows with episodes I can watch more than once but you fill in with such a keen eye and copious observations I feel like

Andre Braugher is a magnificent actor, as demonstrated in the one two punch of the first episode's emotional revelation scene and the second episode's Parent Trap farce. My first impulse was that Holt should have been the one to quit the force - have the one who has been fighting bigotry and bureaucracy since the 70s

For starters, given that the show is ending, I think Rosa quitting may be just the first pebble- she can’t square being a cop with what’s going on in the world, and at the end of the episode it’s clear that Jake’s had a few illusions shattered too. I may be wrong on this but we may have a season arc going here.

Another tech demo without art direction.

A mad scientist going to another dimension to steal a version of his dead child?

Lucky for Murray he didn’t bring up her Chinese and American heritage as a negative like this fucker here.

This episode really got to me with Jay’s storyline (I had tears in my eyes when they had to pull his hand away from Woody’s). It was a strong reminder about the collective trauma many communities have experienced this past year and the disparities in health care for black/brown/unprivileged folks. It WAS a horror show

This show is a true underrated gem that simply does not get talked about.
