It’s a bit different with fantasy works, especially a show based on a book series well over 5,000 pages long. Things like Lord of the Rings or A Song of Ice and Fire really can’t exist without all the backstory. It’s what makes the world interesting and engaging in the first place. Not only that, the authors took the…

What’s funny to me in this is that Harmon says he wants his show to be apolitical, which, like, is impossible? I mean, the idea that a work of art has no say in the ethics of reality and how the world should work, and has no impact based on the society it was created in is pretty dumb. I figure by “apolitical” he…

Just wanted to point out that “Get Thy Fannies Out” means something much different to Jimmy....

Janet Varney is a comedic GENIUS tho. Becca might be the worrrrrst mom ever but she *always* makes me laugh; and her cucking Vernon so hardcore like that was some funny-ass shit. 😝

Really love how clicking on ‘tv reviews’ doesn’t put the latest reviews at the top anymore. How fucking intuitive!

Curious what’s up with Parnell this season. Whether it was an availability thing or just a creative choice to remove Jerry, for the most part.

This one felt hollow. Possibly because it involved so many different memories it seemed to be teasing a reveal, especially after last week’s episode. Nothing huge, but maybe another of rick’s memories of young morty, or a memory of Rick revealing something so consequential he had no other choice but to erase morty’s…

Speaking of which, in an episode full of fucked up jokes, I honestly think the darkest one may have been how quick Beth was to chose Summer over Morty.

It’s the same style of humor as Eastbound and Down and Observe and Report. I wouldn’t call it indecisive— I would say Hill and McBride don’t feel the need to drive home the point that obviously terrible behavior is terrible or to give a badly behaved character a comeuppance as a catharsis for the audience. That makes…

My cousin Susan who makes an undisclosed amount of money working from home.

Matt Rhys and Keri Russell didn’t win and I am here within minutes to register my disgust on the internet.

Atlanta was pretty great.

Every day is depressing on the kinja AVclub :(

I always used to participate in the live blogs in the old days. You couldn’t log in unless you had an onion tied to your belt.

Lol exactly! The Leftovers is better than every show nominated this year. Yes even better than the Handmaid’s Tale.

This year’s Best Drama Series *shouldn’t* be an unusually tough fight, but The Leftovers wasn’t nominated, so I guess it will be.

They kill off Tulip just to pull off a Melisandre?

A great goddamn episode, that’s what it was.

The answer is: don’t think about it.
