Maybe it's not wanting them to empathize but wanting them to feel she needs a kick in the butt.

Man, that fight between Emily and Lorelai was rough.

That's probably pretty valid though. It leans heavily on atmosphere, and the plots sort of lurch forward.

I liked that 1st season. When I saw a couple of years ago they were making this, and I heard Robert Rodriguez talking about it, I was like, how can you make that movie a show. I found that I really liked how they did it.

The Fall is pretty good Season 1, okay season 2, slog of a season 3.

Yeah, since it's WWII period, it's so thick on the melodrama. But it's great how Foyle himself is so non-English in the way he polices that cuts through that in a way that is really humorous.

So much good and fun.

Ech.

I have this fantasy that if I ever meet him I'll ask "Hey, you're the guitar player from Weezer!" even though I know it is him.

Continuum was great. I really enjoyed the way it wound up, really hard for a serialized sci-fi show to have an ending like that.

AV Club Backfire!

Yeah, Peaky Blinders is cool as hell. SHould have been on this list instead of Schoolhouse Rock.

Schoolhouse Rock? WTF dude.

Well, you know that Netflix will probably come crashing down at some point, and if it doesnt take down the entire internet with it, you can at least find some other option until they fix things.
