I'm only three episodes in, but if anything can top that amazing therapy session with Celeste and her awful, horrrible, no good husband I'll be impressed.

That poo poo was tense, and moving, and you could totally see why they'd hire an actress of Robin Weiget's calibre to play a completely throwaway supporting role in that scene. Anyone lesser would have been blown off the screen and out to sea.

Oh man the therapy scenes! There's more, and they get even better. And you're completely right about Robin Weigert, she's just incredible.

I've caught a little bit of it on HBO once in a while. Some of the most insuffereable characters I've seen outside an episode of Girls. I guess that might be the point? Either way, nothing about it grabbed me before I veered for an episode of Patriot of BCS S2.

I think you're literally the only other person I know who watches the show -- I honestly only posted that because I thought you'd see it.

And yeah, I completely agree, though I'm hoping that a second season might be a little pacier? Particularly now all the battle lines have been drawn. I'm all for a slow burning first season, but I think my patience for that kind of thing diminishes the further into the show I get.

gently caress yeah high five Falling Water buddy!

I'm not sure why it didn't get more love on here. Peak TV is just rough. Seeing how much we had to yell at people to watch Patriot, I guess people are just busy.

They should try ruining their lives by watching shows and playing video games instead of succeeding at life.

Watching amazon pilots is lose-lose because most of their pilots tend to be terrible, but even if it's good you have to wait like a year for the next episode, or it might not even be picked up.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


I've been catching up on Ash vs Evil Dead (I waited this long because my friends and I wanted to marathon it together), and I'm so bothered by the show implying Ash was always a jerky jocky braggart type of character, even in high school. His arc in the first Evil Dead is like my favorite thing about the film.

I know it's dumb of me to get hung up on continuity in a series that basically doesn't have any, but I can't help it.

Also that explains why Agathe's daughter gets way older after the pilot. They didn't change child actresses, she just aged 2 years.

I know they were pushing for fast renewal of Series of Unfortunate Events so that they can film the whole series before the children grow up.

A third season should be sufficient for them to cover all 13 books.

Yep, I believe the plan is a 10-ep second season and then a final 8-ep third season.

CW's margins for success are different, especially now with their partnership with Netflix. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was shuffled off to Friday with a reduced episode order, everybody thought it was a mercy killing. Instead, word on a renewal came pretty fast.

Aside from the tentpole DC shows, CW has been moving to 10-13 episode seasons across the board, so I wouldn't take it as any indication it's going to be cancelled.

Yeah, they're supposed to be genuinely lovely people. It's basically Rich White People (except for Shailene Woodley) problems and examining how each of them are pretty broken people with a light, overarching Whodunnit mystery thrown in there.

Chandler Bing was on it for a small arc and he was definitely playing a lovely person. There is also the plot of not Bernie Madoff happening too.
