If anything, considering that they're related sites, it's more like an incestuous sister-brother handjob.

"With a mordant wit and natural, lived-in performances, it combines the easygoing charm of shows like Master Of None with the dark humor and outsized personality of You’re The Worst."

Agreed about Bertie and Genevieve. If that wasn't improvised, then they're very, very naturalistic actors. I felt like the glass clinking later with Thackery and Alfie may have been accidental, too, because Alfie's reaction seemed to be actual surprise.

Why don't you make me?!

They're pretty damn delicate actually…not gamey at all. Not much different than chicken, but the few times I've had them at restaurants they've been absolutely amazing.

"He's gaining on us!"
"I'm scared!"
"Come on, Ned, move this thing!"
"I can't…it's a GEOOOOO!!!"

I just don't think she's a good enough actress…she has presence, but she has certain acting crutches (she can make herself tear up easily and does it *a lot*). In addition, there are at least two or three major scenes per episode where you can tell she's not a professional actress…naturalistic dialogue is something

I'm actually cool with words changing definition based on colloquial usage, but when words change definitions to the exact opposite of their definition, as with "literally" meaning "figuratively" or "nonplussed" meaning "unperturbed", it robs the word of all meaning.
Maybe context clues can occasionally tell you what

"it could've also been that John matched Kevin's palm print to the one found in the girl's car and Michael had just told his grandfather about it. Then Virgil saw killing Kevin as the opportunity to make it right with his family before he ended his own life having "redeemed" himself."

Which is ironic, since originally The Americans was just a mixture of Homeland and Mad Men.

I made this comment on the first episode of the season and it's only gotten worse since then. Laura is just the writers' way of passing judgment on Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, et al. There's no nuance to Laura's character because the show creators clearly just see any journalist who wants to get this information

In which Aziz plays a Syrian terrorist…because that's just how Homeland rolls.

All the episodes are available on Starz website so I watched them over the course of the past week. Ballet never really takes centre stage and, honestly, I felt like the show went largely off the rails. The acting ability of Sarah Hay is also not really up to the task of carrying the show…she seemed to get worse as

Given that your relatively short paragraph is perfectly on-topic, there's no reason to say sorry:P I'm not sure if you saw the Amy Schumer sketch earlier this year or the NY Times piece, but it just reminded me of how saying sorry when it's not necessary has been ingrained into women.

Now I really want Julie Bowen to guest star so that we get to see a bit of an Ed reunion.

Well, to be fair, Catholicism is a denomination that doesn't take the Bible literally and allows for a fair amount of interpretation. For instance, the 6 days of creation are officially believed to be a simple summing up of billions of years rather than a "Earth was created 4400 years ago in 6 days" truth.

Christina Applegate is 43. Unless she failed 2 or 3 grades, she wouldn't have been in high school if she had a 23 year old son.

It's where "morning wood" comes from. If you wake up with a boner, then you've woken up out of REM (which is a larger share of your sleep the closer you get to waking time anyway).

Meh, I don't have much against Carmen Electra.

Fun fact: every guy, not just Taco, is erect during REM sleep unless they have a physiological erectile dysfunction. Penile erection is actually one of the ways in which sleep doctors confirm sleep stage (though usually only in academic settings, not clinical). Similarly, clitoral swelling occurs in women during the
