It's trashy as hell and I don't blame people for not liking it or not being interested, tbh. It's just 100% purestrain the kind of trash I love.

Yeah, but is it "that's loving unique" terrible or "my soap opera family/friends would love this garbage" terrible? I just don't know!! Its like there's a section of the fanbase intent on selling it as the former and a section of the fanbase intent to say its just the latter.

Peak Archie for me is his homoerotic football thug gang video. I haven't been watching season 2 after that for other reasons and I'll definitely binge it come summer.

Is there anything close in tone to The OC or Gilmore Girls these days? CW seems to be too obsessed with superheroes and stuff like that, nothing a bit more based. Not that OC was particularly based, but you know.

I can't watch the original show ever again. In retrospect it's like Breaking Bad - the protagonist turns into an egotistical rear end in a top hat by the end.

STAC Goat posted:Every time you guys correct the insane takes on Riverdale you just make it sound less interesting. Yeah if you're gonna get into it, I'd rather you get into it for the right reasons. If you're watching Riverdale, it's not because of its radical yet "interesting" reinventions of teen pop-culture stalwarts. It's most likely because those teens are engaged in amped-up soap opera hijinks despite having more emotional intelligence than some 40-year-olds. This is a show that, with a dead-straight face, killed off a villainous character at the end of the first season, and then, almost one year later, reintroduced the actor as his long-lost, never-before-mentioned twin brother. You are either here for that ridiculous bullshit or you're not. If you are, a couple of things might surprise you. For one thing, this show has a ton of heart. For another, it's shot incredibly well—like, the cinematography on this show gives some prestige dramas a run for its money. And it's also really good (for a teen soap) at writing to extremely relevant themes of class and generational conflict. All of that might end up sweeping you off your feet...but first, you have to accept that this is a show where much is made out of who's boinking who, where everyone is more verbose than they should be, and where Hiram Lodge is a member of a criminal enterprise alongside a guy who calls himself "Papa Poutine," played by MC Gainey doing a James Caan impression. If none of that floats your boat, walk away. Nobody would blame you. All that said, if absolute unrefuted insanity is what you crave, there's also 16-year-old Betty Cooper (played by an actress in her early 20s) singing the Gary Jules version of "Mad World" at a biker bar. Oh, sorry, my bad,   she does much more than sing .

Kind of the deal with Archie is that he's a dipshit so it wouldn't be surprising if he joined the world's foremost dipshit club

Fox is planning on airing a "documentary" about Meghan Markle. I put the quotes around documentary because one of the people they're talking to is her half sister who has been running her mouth and writing a tell all book.

Like a loved one who relapses into meth after years of being sober, Fox has shown a bunch of super-tacky "EVENT" documentary-hours so far this year. First that super loving awful OJ Simpson If I Did It thing and now this. I'm sure we're not far off from a full on When Animals Attack or Married By America reboot at this point

The funny thing about it airing on Fox is definitely the fact that she got cast on Fringe for like 2 episodes and then was unceremoniously cut.

STAC Goat posted:Every time you guys correct the insane takes on Riverdale you just make it sound less interesting. Its actually funny because its always the critics of Riverdale that make me interested to watch and the fans who convince me not to. I watched the first season hoping for the latter based on all the hype but it really felt more like the former imo I used to watch and enjoy Passions so it's not even like I'm opposed to off the wall soap opera poo poo, it's just that Riverdale bored the hell out of me and didn't have a worthwhile payoff. EL BROMANCE posted:Is there anything close in tone to The OC or Gilmore Girls these days? CW seems to be too obsessed with superheroes and stuff like that, nothing a bit more based. Not even Gilmore Girls is like Gilmore Girls anymore, going by that awful Netflix miniseries from last year. Mu Zeta posted:I think I just straight up hate Rory after seeing the revival.

There are probably lots of people around here who know this, so help me out. Why is it so hard to get the most recent additions on Netflix and Amazon Prime? On Netflix my only hope is that the home page suggestion is that "xx TV shows and movies were added in the last x days", because when I click that, I get an empty list - and when I force-refresh that, I get the actual recent additions. On AP, the "newest" tab has been simply removed a month ago or so and has never returned. Is this some stupid 'they want me to watch what the algorithm wants" thing? I hate it. Or am I in the minority for wanting to see if something new was added?

I thought everyone hated her for at least the last two seasons of the pre-revival anyway? Or was that just me? She was the weakest link acting and story-wise by then.

+1 for Counterpart being by far the best show this year. It’s got some slow parts but holy hell these last few episodes ramped things up in an incredibly severe way. This show deserves way more recognition than it’s getting
