I’m glad to see the AV Club finally giving some attention to these two shows. American Vandal in particular is one of the best things I’ve seen. Everything is on point: the deadpan parody, the teen drama, even the mystery is compelling. AVC should really consider doing recaps.

I went through three phases in watching American Vandal:

Yeah. I started American Vandal with pretty low expectations, but had watched the entire thing before I knew it.

Just on a technical level, American Vandal was incredibly well-made. I’d love to know about the work that went into getting the Nana’s Party episode right.

It would be nice if you could access these reviews under the Star Trek: Discovery tab, but the only review there is the “pre-air” review.

So, how’re y’all fellow Canadians——wait, sorry, that came out like my American half was talking, let me try that again: how’re all my fellow Canadians watching this, eh?

I really enjoyed this episode. And Henry Rollins was just the cherry on top!

Hooray for cable’s best zombie show being back!

His father’s life is more fascinating than his, I find, and recommend the non-fiction book “The Black Count” by Reiss.

The second he started hallucinating Donna walking down the hallway I had a feeling where it was going, but I was hoping I was wrong and he was just having a stroke or something and we’d still see him alive the next episode. I feel like a lot of shows, before a character dies, really foreshadows it by having them tie…

Well fuck. That wasn’t what I expected to see happen in this episode. Fucking brilliant. I’m so glad I’ve stuck with this show since season 1. What a rewarding experience.

I’m not crying, you’re crying!

Neat.

The second and third seasons are when the show hit it’s stride. The first season plays out like an over the top parody, but then they started taking it more seriously, while still keeping the absurd only in the apocalypse stuff that made Z Nation stand out from everything else.

I had alomst forgotten how much FUN this show is! It’s like the anti-Walking Dead!

IMHO, the back half of last season really started to drag. That being said, the first two seasons turn a lot of the zombie genre on it’s ear to fairly successful effect. Glowing zombies, zombienado, Viagra zombies (!), a zombie bear (before Game of Thrones!), and the whole Lucy storyline are tons of fun.

Fuck the boring pointless slog that is TWD, so glad this is back. More people need to watch it. S3 was a bit worse than the first two, hoping this one gets back to their level.

either way, honestly. I enjoyed this show more than most fluffy shows, and there is something to be said for the way these surprisingly-charismatic actors grew on me, but i’d imagine jumping in anywhere and enjoying what came out of it equally.

Glad to have this wonderful show back and doubly so with the majority of the cast still around(I was worried that the show would jettison some in the name of freshening things up).
