I'm really not trying to be a dick about things… I don't know, I just truly dislike these reviews. They feel weak. I know Zach gets after me down sheet, but I'd much rather read his solo review than this stuff.

My lord, I've never been assigned a grade before… I happen not to like it.

Right. That's part of what grates.

I think both are honest. Mad Men I understand because you feel an ownership of the review… Fargo? Just let somebody else do it. You've got enough to do…

I understand how arrogant the statement is, but really… they're just too self aware, too indulgent. And honestly, I think all this is just a way for Todd to insinuate himself into nearly every review. I take it a micromanagement and it angers me enough to yammer in absolutes.

Yes it's been a short run, but I like to imagine it profound. Imagine being the operative word…

This is it, now… This is the end. Another tandem review, and I'm looking elsewhere for my pop culture nonsense.

Liked for Keith Richards.

The world is the world, unmotivated by concepts. One cannot do good beyond one's own self-perception. Worth is determined by intrinsic value.

This opinion is entirely too quaint in that it assumes the show will require any morality of law enforcement whatsoever.

May I ask why it is strange that one might worry about a rabbi? I agree that the man is a rabbi, given his seeming penchant for wisdom, but the sentence is structured in such a way that it sounds as though worry for a rabbi is somehow intrinsically inappropriate.

Can these tandem reviews please cease? The concept is tired and has become boring.

Historical revisionism and those who seek to amend history to support contemporary attitudes.

Yes yes, but the word "realistic" just seems so out of place. "Out of character" perhaps, but realistic?

Perhaps some of you were delighted to see Don forced to answer to Peggy… I was not. I found the whole situation nauseating.
