The Expanse is very solid and has a pretty high crossover appeal

Like you and I know Patriot and Sharp Objects were the best shows of the year but at the same time, I know very few people will share that opinion bc both those shows appeal to fairly narrow tastes imo

But the Expanse doesn't?

I'm not knocking the show. It just doesn't strike me as "crossover appeal."

I saw a lot of mainstream press about The Expanse when it was cancelled and uncancelled. Nobody cares about Patriot.

I mean, I agree The Patriot is more obscure than Expanse. But the Expanse seems kind of niche.

Maybe that's just me projecting because it felt too niche for me. I don't read any entertainment news or anything.

Patriot is awesome but also deliberately "weird" for lack of a better word. Maybe, "cerebral"?

Expanse may be sci-fi but it's pretty straightforward story- and character-wise.

It's not really any different than the Ducktales reboot playing down Scrooge's wealth in favor of him being an adventurer because who the gently caress wants to root for a billionaire these days. Teaching kids that cops are heroes and their friends is about the worst message any piece of media aimed at educating kids these days can have, especially when Carmen herself was the most iconic and interesting part of the entire property and everything with ACME Detective Agency was riffing on a generation of crime media meant for the parents of the parents whose kids are watching the new show.

So then why dont we then create shows about policemen that dont shoot miniorities or whatever instead of tossing out the entire concept of police all together?

I mean, i consider myself to be fairly left wing but I dont see why now the very concept of police is now under attack. Havent you guys ever been mugged?

Overly indulgent isn't an inherently bad thing, though. I'd call the best works of people like The Coens or Sam Esmail as overly indulgent.

As long as what they're indulging in is good, go nuts, I say. And man what Patriot dips into is so good and has so much heart.

Double great. Best friends.

I guess I've won the YouTube recommendation algorithm game because I just opened up YouTube, went to the recommended section and easily found like an hour's worth of interesting-looking videos at the top to watch when I go out to get food in a little while.

(Yes, I watch YouTube videos through my headphones when I go out to eat sometimes because I have no friends. YouTube is my only friend. All hail YouTube :shepicide: )

Jameela Jamil is the name of the actress, who plays Tahani on The Good Place. Kamilah Al-Jamil is the name of Tahani's fictional sister on the show.

So either someone went for the most meta of all deep cuts, or some intern got shitcanned this morning.

And further to the joke, the defining aspect of Tahani and Kamilah's relationship is that Kamilah constantly upstages Tahani. So the chyron writer didn't call Jamil by her character name. She called her by the character name who is constantly upstaging her character.

The R Kelly doc is just such garbage in terms of production, it’s like... what people are saying about him is bad enough, you don’t need to go through the Demonizing 101 textbook to layer on artificial effects on old photos. We get it, dude’s a monster. I don’t need After Effects to tell me that.
