I don't blame anyone for liking it but it hasn't worked for me at all. I'm glad other people like it more.

Because I've been so tired recently that I've just been rewatching Korra and ATLA instead. I don't want to sit down and think about the TV show I'm watching.

I still haven't watched the latest season of BCS.

An episode of "God friended me" that involves God un-friending you sounds like season/series finale level plot.

God Friended Me is so gutless that in the first 5 minutes they've had a character say multiple times "it's not actually God"

They're treating the existence of "the God account" like a Lost mystery. Totally gutless

On the other hand, the episode where they reveal the owner of the account is a zit faced teenager should be good.

And yeah Pretzel Jack is amazing and horrifying. Channel Zero owns

Little Drummer Girl started airing on BBC. It's a John le Carre adaptation directed by Park Chan Wook (Old Boy) and stars Michael Shannon and Alexander Skarsgard. Holy poo poo.

It starts airing on Nov 19th on AMC so 'muricans have to wait.

We've Got To Go Back
I remember watching the the original Little Drummer Girl movie back in the 80's. Yesterday if you would have asked me for the plot of Little Drummer Girl, for some reason I would have given you the plot of the William Hurt movie Kiss of the Spider Woman. I must have watched both movies close together, because I was really confused when I watched the trailer of the AMC remake. Now I completely remember the original movie with Diane Keaton.

That said Park Chan Wook? I am a fan of his movies, but not the name I would imagine directing this.

Reading LeCarre's book of essays, and he talks Stanley Kubrick wanting him to write "Eyes Wide Shut". Cannot imagine what that would have been like.

The original Little Drummer Girl is not one of the better adaptations of his material. I mean I know they can't all be The Constant Gardener but it's not one of my favorites. It's one that could really do well with a better adaptation.

Watching Patriot Act because the AV Club praised it, and I have to agree with them that Hasan Minhaj just seems incredibly good at this. I'm only a few minutes in, but it's great so far for no other reason than him. I haven't gotten really into one of these shows since Jon Stewart left The Daily Show, either.

There's clearly something going on based on how even an evil corrupt bishop raised as a zombie is still able to bless water. The show's pretty clear that God exists in it.

Yeah I know, but there's still lines like that, and an insanely corrupt church that's if anything the real villains of the series. Ellis' hostility towards organized religion is painfully obvious, and I feel a vampire hunting show based on video games is the wrong place to express it.

I thought it was a lot like his standup crossed with LWT's main story segment, and it worked really well. I hope people watch it on the sixth sunday in octvember or whatever voodoo netflix uses.

It has a little bit of the Riverdale problem of having a world that asks you to accept a lot of poo poo that makes no sense in terms of character actions and motivations (AKA Breaking Bad Syndrome), but a million times worse because it can just make up whatever rules it wants.

The fifth episode is all the characters being tormented by various dreams and it's the biggest waste of time because it gives us no insight into the characters beyond "Sabrina doesn't want to be tortured for being a witch" and "Ambrose doesn't like being on house arrest."

OTOH, it's actually pretty dope. I think the show's done a great job of revealing its mythology entertainingly. The characters are sharply drawn, and there's a delightful taste for the weird in its writing.
