Actual leftists—“There should be more books by people of color about their own lived experiences, rather than unintentional parodies of their lived experiences by people who don’t have the actual experience to draw from.”

Another site recently quipped that this show was a nostalgic fantasy about benevolent authoritarian rule. At their heart monarchies are criminal enterprises. The English monarchs looted and enslaved India, they did their best to loot America, they committed atrocities of the worst sort in Asia and Africa.

Your attempt to shame someone for pointing out problematic white savior-ism and racism why displaying your own racism is the true bad look here.

The first episode intro of the character was a little much but after that, Collins’ refusal to recognize her as a character became more than a little much

Perhaps Weinstein thinks that the public will be more willing to believe that a black woman is lying than it will believe the numerous white women who have accused him are lying?

Is telling them apart really that complicated? I’m finding it remarkably easy, especially since only one of them is actually a major character. We’re five episodes in at this point, and Frankie’s only had like three solo scenes and when he does have a solo scene they provide some tell-tale sign like having him…

I think there is a certain personality type of fairly intelligent and perceptive person who goes through a phase in their life lasting maybe a decade, from about age 15 to age 25 or so, in which they realize that many people and many institutions of society are hypocritical and corrupt. But instead of continuing a…

So how do you all think Franco’s characters are going to fit into the porn biz? Is Vinnie going to get involved in financing the films? That’s my guess. Then the college girl will get drawn into the biz via Vinnie.

This discussion forum sucks. AVClub sucks now...With the exception of Sean O’Neal and LaToya Ferguson, the writing staff is completely depleted of talent. The Dissolve is dead. So where, oh where, should a homeless Kang go to enjoy good pop culture talkback, preferably powered by Disqus?

This is news to me. In games, critically acclaimed is usually associated with mad money. The Uncharted series have sold very well, Red Dead Redemption, all the GTA’s, etc. These are some of the best games ever while also being huge selling games. GTA IV and GTA V set records for selling.

I know you’re being deliberately obtuse, but you are way off point. Is extreme, pointless brand loyalty part of being a Kinja community?

He should spend all that Amazon money buying AV Club so we can go back to being a website and not whatever the hell this is.

Reading the AV Club comment sections these days is like watching gloomy survivors of an apocalypse still wandering the once familiar, now empty and derelict places where they used to hang out, mechanically repeating old gestures that have lost all meaning.

For a show set in New Orleans, this hast to be the most enclosed and claustrophobic use of a great city to evoke a tone and sense of place. Likely a budget issue, but damn, get us the hell out of that fucking apartment

The “tricky spot” this show is teetering on is between “tolerable” and “spouse has to restrain me from shattering our TV screen with a hurled ashtray.”

On Ep 5 and I think this is better than S1 and 2. Pablo was a more menacing presence than anyone here (so far) but the quality was inconsistent between boring repetitiveness and cool moments, while this has been solid the entire time.

“I have an uninformed opinion, which pleases me.”

The villain this year is Kinja, and it gets the best, the best, the best, the best of Rami Malek.

And Marten Holden Weiner as the floating, creepy ghost of the Tsesarevich Alexei, son of Nicholas II

Boy, I’ve never fallen out of love with a show so fast. I was fully on board even a few episodes ago...but it really is going nowhere. And watching something like Twin Peaks last night, it almost seems an insult to that show to spend time with...this...tonight. Hur hur, Starr’s getting humiliated up the butt again.…
