I’ve said it so many times now over the years - for my money I don't think I've seen a show in my 50 years that made better use of music than did The Americans. The soundtrack was practically a character in itself.

No amount of good DNA is ever going to get you past the fact that your parents named you Chester 

i read that U2 even gave them the masters so they could extend the music to fit the scene.

And Homicide: Life on the Street!

Number 1 should obviously be Homicide: Life on the Street, which is not on streaming anywhere precisely because of how boss the soundtrack was. Second place: 1980s drama Rags to Riches.

As far as football players go, he’s pleasantly dopey and enthusiastic, and not an obvious asshole, so hat’s off to him!

Trying to piss off the Gen X’ers by not including The Americans?

With or Without You from the final episode of Americans doesn’t even make the top 20?

I don’t much mind the nepo baby thing or the debate around it. But when I hear/see the term, Emma Roberts is exactly the type of person that comes to mind. I’ve seen her in a few things and she’s...not good. It’s pretty clear she gets work because of her connections, not her talent. Now there’s been others like her…

What is funny about all this is that it ignores the fact that it’s quite common for people to go into the “family” business. Sure some people have ambition to not do what their parents do but for many it just makes sense to do the same job.

She was also arrested for domestic violence. If it weren’t for nepotism and whatever blackmail material she has on Ryan Murphy, she wouldn’t be working at all.

Who can forget the enormous power Rosemary Clooney wielded in 1980's Hollywood when George Clooney got his start? Studio executives cowered in fear that she might sic Danny Kaye on them.

i’m pretty sure that Julia is the nepo component in that equation too.

Probably minority opinion: The nepo baby issue is overrated. The last name gets you the interview, you get yourself the job. And she’s absolutely right that the expectations are higher.

There aren’t a lot of shows where the weakest episode is still better TV than almost anything else on contemporaneously but this show pulled it off. Carrie Coon is amazing and this for me is the best thing Eccleston has ever done. The finale wrecked me & I still think about it often.

He’s a narcissist.  He only cares about himself, and will only be contrite if it is to his benefit, and even then, it will never be sincere, because he truly doesn’t believe he did anything wrong.

I don’t get what the appeal of the dude is - as a human

Remind me why this guy gets to come back when Armie Hammer--who was never charged, let alone convicted of something--is selling timeshares? Is it a complexion issue, or it more complicated than that?

Honestly, I’m glad he’s out of the MCU. I don’t get what the appeal of the dude is - as an actor. He’s obviously an awful person but I can’t see why he was getting raves for his performances. Fussy, pretentious, indulgent, with zero charisma. But I seem to be in the minority. What am I missing?

He seems very disingenuous to me. Everything from his defense attorney’s pre-trial shenanigans, to breaking up that fight, to dating Meagan Good feels very calculated and manufactured. That’s certainly not unique to him (Tom Cruise has had a very controlled public image for decades), but Majors is too young and too…
