GLOW is 100% women pissing. There is no dialog, no wrestling, just a neverending stream of hot, golden urine.

Seriously: Some dude a dozen pages back flipped out because the first episode featured a scene in a women's restroom where a minor character could be heard urinating.

This is extremely my poo poo

I liked season one of GLOW alright with the heavy piss focus angle, but the leaked s2 script where the girls are all trapped on a train that eternally circumnavigates the frozen earth seems a little iffy.

Don't worry, the lady wrestlers at the back of the train can be sustainably kept alive by the reconstituted piss of the lady wrestlers at the front of the train.

Yeah, the problem I had with the last two Wet Hot outings was they were funny, but not funny enough for their length. They've would've been classics if they had been edited down into 90 minute movies, with laughs coming every minute, instead of spreading out the laughs over several hours.

I love how refreshing Ozark feels. They don't gently caress around with the whole "I have to keep my criminal life secret from my family" juggling that a lot of similar shows go for to get some cheap drama and tension. The wife and kids are all on board early. While it really tears at the family, they all legitimately try their hardest to make it work and the wife realizes that she needs to help out with the business if she wants to save her family. They're past a lot of the really basic morality questions that you get in something like BrBA since Marty is already deep in the game when the show starts and they're more or less just trying to make a terrible situation work.

The Langmores, the redneck crime family, also have a really interesting power dynamic. You've got the two big older male ones who would usually be the head of the group in another show, but Ruth, the young female member, is essentially the uncontested matriarch of the whole family. They don't really fall into the trap of having the older guys just be bumbling rednecks led around by the only one with some brains though, they're all pretty clever and have a good bit of depth.

If you liked Breaking Bad and want something on the same level that still feels extremely unique, I definitely recommend this show.

For as much as I loved Breaking Bad when I first watched it, that is legitimately one of the things that keeps me from rewatching it. I wish they had just abandoned all pretense that Walt was trying to remain a good person by doing it for his family and poo poo, because it made a lot of unnecessary things happen in the show. Glad to hear that Ozark gets away from that. Definitely going to add it to my list now.

Yeah, this was something that was a key part of the character development over the seasons. In the beginning it's not exactly clear that it's all about his personal hubris, and you kind of root for him since it seems a good part of his motivation is family. He's run down and bitter, but it's not entirely clear that it's all about him. By the end, his pride has completely consumed (nearly) everything. The viewer (and finally the character himself) realizing this is a huge part of the plot arc.

Yeah, that's one of the most meaningful moments of Felina: Walt admitting to Skyler, "I did it ... because I enjoyed it." There was never any pretense of Walt being a good person, because pretty much right from the beginning of his meth journey he's lying to, manipulating and using everyone around him.

I'd say the moment he turns down his friend's money (what was that, the second episode?) was when you could tell that he didn't actually give a poo poo about his family and was still bitter about his "legacy".

Fourth or fifth episode, and it was another example of Walt being a massive cock -- he flies into a rage when Elliott keeps trying to offer him a job (because he realizes Skyler told him and Gretchen about the cancer), and then at the end, after Gretchen appeals to him again and begs him to take the money, he says something like "it's covered," and then goes cooking with Jesse.

It was also a huge moral quandary that was only closed off by the dude himself being duplicitous. And the body thing was hilarious - I actually knew a guy around that time, who had a hole in the ceiling that looked remarkably like the acid hole from that episode. (his grow room sprung a leak and the drywall in the ceiling sagged and fell through)

Another difference is (I guess this is minor spoilers) Marty in Ozark actually is a good guy, he gets constantly screwed over by his refusal to embrace the criminal side of "criminal money manager". I think season 2 is where he will start to Break Really Bad

77 Minutes, the documentary about the spreee killing rampage at a San Diego McDonald's in 1984, is available on Amazon Prime. It's very powerful and also very explicit, and doesn't come with any warnings of the extremely graphic and disturbing imagery of corpses and victims at the scene, so be careful.

I think he does embrace it. He knew exactly what he was doing when he pointed out the errors in the accounting, and had to know that by taking that trip he was going to work with them. His partner was oblivious until the guy they replaced told him, and Marty insisted their partnership remain because he needed the legitimate money to make the whole thing work. He also talks about the early days as if they were a nuisance rather than something traumatizing, and he incorporates his whole family into various parts of the enterprise, including telling his son how proud he is of him for recommending a business he can use. Marty also watched the murder and eye removal scene a lot longer than he needed to, which threw up some red flags for me that this guy wasn't just some accountant; he was ready to play in the deep end of the pool.

I don't disagree with you that he is a good guy. I think he genuinely grows into wanting to help Rachel if not Ruth, and certainly the preacher and his wife (those scenes with the baby loving killed me), while simultaneously using them for his own ends. The same as he did with his previous investors. He made them money, while using their money to cover the illegal activities he was doing. The only real exception to this is when he takes over the titty bar, but even then he pays the guy for it. If by embracing "the criminal side" you mean he doesn't kill people or seek to cause people real harm from which they can't recover either financially or physically, you are right, but he is certainly criminal in his ability to launder money.

The thing with Ozark is, he is doing all the things that would put anyone under investigation at the very beginning, so he understandably has to draw the least amount of attention for the rest of the show.

One of the best parts of Ozarks for me is (Spoilers) Like it or not, the family is in the situation, and they go from realizing their life is completely gone, to be willing to do anything they can to live, while still trying to "live" some sort of normal life. The last episode where Wendy nods to Jonah to take the shot to me kinda cemented the family willing to do what's necessary to survive.
