Ted Lasso was kind of refreshing in that it has a protagonist you're actually supposed to like. Seems like every prestige show is "let's follow the most awful people".

Ted Lasso and Walter White are both people who would make we want to leave the building rather than have a conversation with them but for different reasons.

That line is awful, but Hux being a useless dweeb who keeps trying to force-push coins across his desk, but can't (because he's a useless dweeb) is amazing, and a great way to show how pathetic the First Order really is.

Other amazing poo poo in the Treverrow script:
Rebels getting executed by laser-guillotines

Ghost-Luke constantly dunking on Ren for being a dumbass whilst also trying to bring him back to the light. At one point Ren takes a swing at him, and ghost-luke catches the lightsaber with his bare hands, and holy poo poo can you imagine seeing that in a crowded theater? people would have lost their minds.

Chewie throwing a Knight of Ren off a skyscraper and blowing him up like he's clay pigeon shooting.

Finn actually getting to do stuff.

I think you're supposed to like Perry Mason, even though he's got issues. Maybe that's what the show got canceled after two seasons.

I really enjoyed the Perry Mason prequel series, at least he had a very valid reason for being so broken. He did manage to overcome his own problems and become a decent lawyer on the end.

He enjoys "crushing" (bullying) students half his age in university and college "debates" (on the spot, "spur of the moment" things where he's prepared ahead of time and randomly challenges students who havent had a chance to prepare, where he throws out so many false statements that it's impossible to argue against all of them in a reasonable time). I'm pretty sure there's video of him actually running away when someone is knowledgeable about a topic and is able to rebut them though.

I know it's from a little bit back but as someone who didn't really watch any Breaking Bad until recently I find it amazing that people really didn't think Walter was an rear end in a top hat from the very beginning. Like there's shades of it in the earliest parts of the first season. The whole show starts because he's got too much of an ego to just accept help from someone because he doesn't want to be pitied and he constantly berates Jesse and puts him in danger because he's frustrated his drug plan isn't working out the way he wanted when he's like dude it's not that simple to just magically convert a fuckin pound of meth into profit.

Doesn't he specifically style his hair to make his skullcap less visible? Because he knows the audience he courts is extremely antisemitic?

We just finished with the last season of Barry and he did a great job in that role, but I still called him "Jimmy James" whenever I couldn't remember the character's name.

All orthodox Jewish men I know wear theirs all the time except possibly at home, and to bed. It's the standard practice, although it's more of a steadily strongly reinforced convention than an explicit liturgical requirement.
