It’s like Mac from It’s Always Sunny said: “Look, it’s not that hard. All you need to do is lift weights six days a week, stop drinking alcohol, don’t eat anything after 7pm, don’t eat any carbs or sugar at all, in fact just don’t eat anything you like, get the personal trainer from Magic Mike, sleep nine hours a…

“Except for it being unwatchable dreck, sure...”

I appreciate you letting us all know you have terrible taste and we should shun you.

FOX NEWS:  I CAN’T BELIEVE THESE HOLLYWOOD ELITE MONSTERS WOULD GO AFTER THE PRESIDENT’S SON - A CHILD!

The idea that The Black List is composed of “some of the most promising, overlooked screenplays still making the rounds in Hollywood” is absurd. Most of those have producers attached and many even have financiers. And remember when Django Unchained was on the list one year and The Social Network on another?

Alfie Taylor as Barron. Sofia Vergara as Melania. John Cena as Trump. Mo-cap Andy Serkis as both Eric and Don Jr. A discarded department store mannequin as Ivanka, and an uncredited extra as Jared.

Stephens quit Twitter in a huff, saying the insult was the “worst of humanity,” comparing Karpf to a Nazi, and even going on TV to bemoan his victimization. All this from a man who makes a living railing against “PC culture” and the silencing of controversial voices.

And Hugh Grant dunking on Piers Morgan yesterday is what I’d have gone with for the celebrity section.

Is it me, or is this basically indistinguishable from the 'Worst' list?

True. But for the person in the middle of it, it’s also thousands of notifications to their phone (which most people leave on, despite the fact that social media notifications are terrible as a rule) with people telling you how much they hate you.

There might be people who can deal with that, but it’s disingenuous to…

People who watched The Leftovers.

I know it was already said, but it deserves to be said again.

People who watched The Leftovers

Schitt’s Creek really surprised me. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything about it here, at least not that I’ve read or remember. But I started it on Netflix by accident (meant to skip it because the trailer they chose wasn’t compelling at all) and it’s been a delight. My better half even balked at joining me, but…

Everything about Watchmen has been incredibly tightly scripted and obviously planned out well. I got burned by Lost as much as anyone, but this was written to only be one season so the writing’s been focused. Plus, he showed with The Leftovers that he’s capable of wrapping threads up now. I trust him.

Reasonableness?

Watchmen definately deserves to be there. Its Succession and Barry that should be at #3 and #4. Russian Doll is good but not as good as those two. 

If The Mandalorian gets to be on the list 5/8 of the way through the season (or whenever the deadline was), Watchmen deserves to be there with three more episodes (and a much better show).

Who would’ve thought when they announced a Watchmen show created by David Lindelof it would be the #2 (arguably #1) show of the year and I’d think “Yeah, that’s about right.”

Just wanted say that, several decades from now, when Kaitlyn Dever is accepting her lifetime achievement awards and the comparisons between her and the likes of Meryl Streep and Jodie Foster are flowing, I totally called it. I’ll be long dead then. But I still want credit. 

Good! You’re allowed to and I wouldn’t want to dissuade anyone from thinking more highly of something than I do.
