The show doesn't think so.

The awfulness of the Draper lies in the plot fraud, where she can simply beat the truth out of the captain, and oh, also manages to take a very useful—-to her, but not to anyone else—-documentation of the entire plot. The show didn't even try to justify the villain keeping conclusive evidence on his desk, just…

The kidz already got the memo about how the gay isn't cool. Sending this one out too is so gay…

A lot to be said for this. I do wonder sometimes if romantic leads are underwritten as characters, lest a personality interfere with the audience projecting their fantasies onto the lead. In particular, this seems to be the case with female leads.

Maybe…of course we can't disprove a maybe. The point is that it seems like Isaac treated Coy differently, and no one knows why. A sadistic sexual motive is a reasonable guess, even more so now that beating on young men was a pattern for Isaac.

That's putting it kindly… that price seemed like bad science fiction to me.

Strictly speaking, I'm wondering if Isaac enjoyed beating young men, and wanted one around who he suspected was going to "need" a beating. It's especially difficult to understand why beating one young man to death wouldn't make him wary of beating another one, if only to avoid embarrassment.

He's going to make them less money when he's beat up. Loan sharks can beat people who "owe" the vig up, expecting them to borrow, beg, hock or steal from friends and family. But these guys know that's not an option.

All true, and all reasons why he would have been sent on his way. But that's not what happened. Absent any plausible understanding of why he wasn't, then people wonder if Isaac had some sort of weird sexual hangup about Coy. Diego accused Isaac of being soft on Coy, not the audience.

But, Coy was not recruited on a drugs for work deal.

The first time Coy collapsed in the fields was the last time their desperation for "bodies" counted as a plausible motive for Diego to tolerate Isaac's choice of Coy. Bodies, yes, but they at least have to be upright. Even more absurd is the notion that the foremen routinely dispense illegal drugs to pacify their…

The default to a sexual interest in Coy is prompted by the conspicuous absence of any reason whatsoever for Isaac to recruit a junkie, much less pay attention to him afterward.

Unless the reviewer is unbelievably obtuse, that's not the takeaway from this documentary. But, you caught me, I was being ironic. I'm a bad, bad person.

First two episodes I got a horror show vibe. The only other thing I got, Renard the Fox boss cop seemed a little too on the nose for a villain.

Couldn't watch the show because horror just isn't my thing. But I've found there are lots of shows I can enjoy without commercial breaks. A fade out for an act ending never is a problem but the tonal violence from the ads can be devastating. Is Grimm a plausible candidate for bingeing?

The recap reminded us of the show's criticism of Holden, then added to it with Prax and Naomi's attack on Holden for beating the profiteer. It's nice to have it both ways: You write the sleazy character who isn't going to give up information any other way (but of course never lies under torture, a Hollywood dogma…

No doubt the doc is quite correct about how the DDR was the worst blight on the human spirit that ever cursed Germany, one that simply must be rooted out.

Ryan Reynolds doesn't break any tension with his wisecracks, which all come before the peril starts.
Also, every single character is heroic, which means it's nothing, nothing like And Then There Were None, which is premised on every single character being a murderer. I don't know why AVClub insists on getting simple…

The property rights of the creator isn't part of Objectivism? The Fountainhead sure isn't about the internal cognitive and emotional processes of creation, it's the individual creator versus the collective. Perhaps you're thinking it's an auteurist manifesto, the director versus the studio? Except I think it's really…

The idea anyone but an Objectivist would want to do a remake of The Fountainhead is the charitable interpretation. The onlyother thing besides Objectivism in The Fountainhead was Gary Cooper taking (aka raping) Patricia Neal. Snyder wants to strike a blow for MRAs by redoing this?
