Grinder, Agent Carter, Code Black, Galavant—some of my favorite shows. And probably all gone after this season. Why TV Gods, WHY???

I thought Frederick Weller looked a lot like Robocop—turns out he is Peter's nephew. Good looking man for 50 years old…I have liked this season despite the fracturing of the core group. Miss them hanging out at Frankie's bar. Not being 12 years old, there has been an adequate amount of axx-kicking fights this season,

Hoping it's the other way around, with Daisy becoming Dizzy from a drain on her blood and succumbs in a Doozy of a season ending death. After showing great potential and competence as a character last season, I find it totally unfair that the writers have chosen to deconstruct Lincoln's character into an impulsive,

That actress playing Diana is one of the creepiest looking kids I've seen on TV in a while. Like she's so creepy looking, she would have been exiled from the Village of the Damned. Also, she looks like she could be a full grown "little person" playing a child. Gives me the willies. Gives my willy the willies.

Once again, Alex McCown, a profoundly insightful recap of this awesome show. I haven't enjoyed Christian Slater as much since the first time I saw Heathers. And this Rami Malek kid—he just blows my mind. I imagine Sam Esmail has got to be a little crazy to have created such a masterpiece as this. . . Pixies playing in

While you may have shared some opinions that I agree with, I couldn't finish your book. Basically because I totally found your statements in the first several paragraphs without context to the show that I actually watched.

Lots of great insights in the recap. Two things though—it is not just Libby's unfulfilling past, but her present, that brings forth the "bad" Libby. Also, minor—it was Libby's blouse that was not correctly buttoned that sent up Tessa's radar of her mother's indiscretion.

I like the show for what it is. Stockholm is beautifully filmed. The lute fish out of water is a good trope here, and Poehler's acting, or lack thereof, seems to complement rather than diminish that theme…he is often embarrassing himself through his cultural ignorance, but gives it the old (junior) college try which

Plus, she's a lesbian, so sex won't get in the way.

No mention of the flash drive/engagement ring switcheroo in the review?
I have to admit, this show is horrible, but like cookies that are bad for me, I can't stop devouring it. It seems like every review that I read, the reviewer is projecting themselves into the characters—i.e., these people are not romantic at

I see what you did there.

Yeah, but it is not to much to expect the reviewer to respect, if not like, the show he is reviewing on this site, in particular. There are too many TV-philes who bring their passion to the site, and to my delight, even when the reviews are spot-on, I enjoy the comments tremendously. Especially when they become a

This is a small thing, but the closing classic rock songs absolutely drive me crazy. This week, it’s Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth,” last week it was Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze,” the week before that John Lennon’s “Instant Karma.” There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the songs by themselves, although

Other Possibilities—The Spoils of Thrones; The Gone Spoils of the Wind; Spoiled Indemnity; West Side Spoils…but probably the inferred Spoils of Uranus would be best.

Amazing that the guy whom Ken Burns hand picks to narrate his documentaries will actually have this claim of fame. Coyote and cats together—who'd a thunk it?

Totally agree with you about Kate McKinnon and Michael Sheen. I am still belly-laughing every time I think of Sheen shaking that cocktail across the room. Also, Haley St. Barnaby Bixby Osmet is just killing it. But the star is MKW—his voice has a smoother gravel than a macadam road. Tenor or alto, he's the best.

This recap is written in such an earnest manner, it almost approaches an almost existential/dada level in itself. Not to put the reviewer down—not at all—it was well written but seemed to give agency to parts of the episodes that deservedly needed a wink and a giggle.

That animated sequence seemed to be manifested by the same creators of the 1960's ads at drive-in movies, with the dancing popcorn boxes and singing hot dogs…

Might Malcolm find a witch doctor in Africa who will bring Sembene back to life?

Gosh, you are snarky.
