I originally thought the small number of episodes was a detriment but it actually works pretty well. Each episode moves the plot forward quite a bit.

evil genious on netflix - i got through this in two sittings thinking it was longer. need to sit on this a bit longer, not sure i liked how the narrator at the end was like "well these people obviously did it". going to start sacred games next as i hear it caused some backlash in india over its portrayal of certain politicians

Power Season 5 ep 5 -  Motherfuckers had a driveby on a BMX :rejoice
Last night's Sharp Objects was a bit more to my taste, but i'll probably still bail after next ep if the worm doesnt turn sufficiently.

Watched the first ep of Sharp Objects.

Got some True Detective Season 1 vibes but it's also very much it's own thing.
Amy Adams can already make some space for her emmy if the quality remains this consistent throughout.
It is very good. Very intense though, just like the lead you could use a drink (or 2) after watching it.

Not sure if that was the intention  :doge

For people that think Sharp Objects is slow, this Shitty New Hulu Stephen King Show must be a nightmare. It moves at a snail’s pace but has absolutely none of the interesting characterization or style.

I'm a big fan of the slower stuff like Sharp Objects, The Americans, The Handmaid's Tale and Better Call Saul as long as the characters are interesting.

I hate it when it starts out slow and suddenly goes into overdrive, when plots are set-up that will never be resolved.
Boardwalk Empire easily had the worst last season compared to the rest of the seasons. It was one of those 'poochy died on his way to this home planet'.

Also when you make it slow go easy on the filler. True Detective Season 2 had Vince Vaughn do nonsensical monologues to fill up screen time as well as at least 10 minutes of fetish shaming per episode.

Good morning and god bless you to everybody but Tariq and Angela and Terry. :-/

They really are making Ghost unlivable this season. Like he’s a real shit head.


I just finished watching Ash vs Evil dead season 3. Goddamn that was some good TV. It’s pribably as good as any of the movies. I thought season 2 kind of fell off a bit, but season 3 was on point.

I’m very disappointed it was cancelled now.

This is going to sound like a sociopath move out of context, but cant wait till that little chit Tariq dies, 1 down and one to go.

I really, really liked Evil Dead's stories and content, I feel they had too much time and it would have worked better as 2 - 3 movies.

I know you think I’m a hater (because I am), but she’s my least favorite character.

Did I miss what happened to Frances Conroy’s character? Where did she go? Why is her house up for sale? I absolutely love that woman.

She's probably just going to show up for some exposition about her husband later, I mean she serves no purpose in the story currently.

Still going through Six Feet Under and the show definitely drops in quality and becomes extremely schlocky. With that said the famous 'Thats my Dog' episode has to be one of the most unintentionally hilarious things I've ever seen. The violent tone of the episode goes from 0 to 60 and then crack gets involved. It was so misanthropic it had me in hysterics.

The best thing about six feet under is how well executed the ending is. On a rewatch I did last year it dove in quality significantly after 2 seasons, but was still watchable.

Lesbian Batwoman is over a decade old now though. :thinking

Also, she kicks goddamn ass (though she fucked up pretty bad in Tec last year.) Gonna have a laugh at all the conservatives getting the weirdest boner over her combination origin story patriotism + hot lesbian superhero-ness.
