please nbc please just make a comedy that isnt weirdly racist, and isnt about a bunch of white people trying to make it in the big city

i know this sounds hard to do. but here's a protip: u might have to look outside the pile of dead drug addicts and miserable failures that you call "snl alumni"

1 weird thing about Netflix, is that shows that didnt air on BBC America get branded as Netflix Originals, but ones that did get branded as regular BBCA shows.

I really like Netflix, Brojack Horseman Season Two was very good and I enjoyed it a lot. They really made great use of the internet to create a monetized content delivery system that isn't stupid bullshit like Hulu.

nice choice bojack is sooo loving good!

tip: the power of piracy allows you to experience the best of both worlds PLUS more money in your pocket at the end of each month! you dont have to "pledge allegience" to any one service either ;)

the overall plot is essentially meaningless and just serves to get the characters into situations to explore male relationships and the emotional and spirital wellbeing of these hulking musclebeasts, which isn't something that's been on television. football players being afraid of death and losing mental function, relationships with their fathers, fearing old age and uselessness, missing the thing you dedicated your entire life to doing and can no longer participate in before you're even middle aged. the episode where The Rock tries to make amends with the guy whose career he ended was pretty great

nothing else explains why getting streaming content is so fiddly. i guess pressing discs is still more profitable.
