Amazing episode, but a thunderstorm in New York City on Christmas? I assume this is in Elliot’s head and not a real weather event, right? Because that’s a bit preposterous in this series of preposterous things.

I fully agree that I didn’t really understand S2 until I rewatched the show and came to appreciate it. S3 was fantastic too, but in some ways felt like Esmail deliberately swinging the pendulum the other way in order to bring back some viewers he lost - a lot more action-heavy, a lot more humour with Irving (RIP,…
I just want to say that the 4th season of this show has sealed its place alongside The Wire & The Americans when it comes to my favorite TV dramas of all-time.
Uncle Walt basically stated, no uncertain terms, Disney would be G and G only. So, Touchstone was created and later Miramax was bought out. (There should be some consternation that the company that was run by alleged human Harvey Weinstein made the Mouse a ton of money.)
Does Diane ever actually get called out in the show?
I love Diane and she’s definitely a vastly better person than Bojack, but whereas Bojack will be the first person to admit he’s a garbage piece of shit, Diane can be ever so incredibly self-righteous about her shortcomings.
Half of the time she goes off on one you…
Diane isn’t very different from anyone on Bojack Horseman, or Bojack himself. (Much like most people in RL) They all have ethics and morals right up until the moment those ethics inconvenience them in some way, and then they all do whatever they want. Diane does try a little harder, but that just makes her that much…
The Netflix model is nice for viewers, but it devastates the concept of “growing an audience”. It’s almost as dumb as networks releasing episodes one-by-one, but then not keeping those episodes available for the latecomers to catch up. (Seriously, ABC. You have a 22-episode season, but only the most recent four…
I think the Netflix release model hurts them, too. I don’t bother to watch any Netflix shows when they first drop - I wait weeks, sometimes months, until I have the time. Knowing they’ll always be there (relatively speaking), and without there being the weekly “water-cooler” discussion that still drives big shows like…
daredevil didnt fail netflix, netflix failed daredevil.
I can understand why The Collector would have him as part of his collection. There are, after all, only dozens of them.
Yeah…
Well, don't let him take the baby with him on errands anymore.
Patti- man, she had me laughing out loud this week. Go to Egypt….magical negro. I think I slapped my knee at one point.
In the first two series Will and Simon would call Jay on his bullshit, but move on quickly. In series three they actually challenge him on it to the point where he has to defend himself.
The episode at the campsite with Jay's dad is just magnificent.
My favorite of Series 1
Had to be X-mas party. What's great about Xmas party is how it plays with conventional Teen sitcom plots. Like Simon about to tell Carly his feelings at the dance in front of the entire school but he pussies out. Neal being rejected by his teacher and Will thinking hhae has finally been…
lol
Jay's dad is hilarious but sad at the same time. Emotional abuse is still funny though.
Ummmm
Simon and Will have pretty much been calling Jay on his bullshit since day one.
Got a friend have you?
Todd's question
"Why, exactly, was that one guy from the school everywhere the guys went?"
Buzz you say?
I actually heard no buzz about this show, and only saw ads for it while watching the new Top Gear tonight. But I gave it a shot and was well pleased, as the Brits might say (too right!). It was pretty frickin' funny.
