"Missed me?" Literally the best and/or worst pun I think I've ever seen.

EricFate posted:I appreciate that the show has gotten me to laugh out loud on several occasions during each episode, but that has been entirely due to the strength of the lead actor. It really is perfect casting. If they had gotten someone even a little less adept at this role then I'd already chucked this show in the garbage.

Isn't it already basically a self-parody? I still can't over the "missed me" pun from last episode.

pixelpusherbot posted:I can't see me watching this show like I did The Wire, Oz or Billions, so I hope to have it jump the shark at least once an episode. Here's the thing, those were all serious dramas. This a POLICE PRODUCERAL where the eccentric genius is THE DEVIL. It's jump the shark, the show.

Pinky Artichoke posted:He shares buffoonery and group sex with Elementary's version of Sherlock but he's no eccentric genius. I keep waiting for him to drop some wisdom or just common sense derived from observing humanity from the beginning of time...but nope. He's continuously all "why are you doing this thing that isn't unusual at all?" My bad, when I say eccentric genius I mean that specific character archetype which has been re-used a billion times since what, numbers, house and the mentalist set the ball rolling? Police procedural oriented around a white guy with a talent/superpower, who is also a weirdo.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I cracked the gently caress up at the model's being a cheeseburger though. That's a girl who has her head on straight I really liked that line and I feel like the show has been oddly somber about these moments so far. Another good one was the paparazi in the crowd, his deepest desire was being respected for photographing. Poor guy hated himself just as much as his victims did him.

Shooting Blanks posted:I hadn't heard anything about this since HBO passed, looks like Starz is doing it now? How does that bode for the series, I've never watched any original content on there. Starz did Spartacus which, beyond being my favorite action show ever, was basically Downtown Abbey combined with Game of Thrones in roman times with better characters, better dialogue, copious amounts of gore&sex and a pacing which practically never dropped. It did also have one of the worst pilots of all time however. Black Sails has spectacular ship action at the beginning and end of every season but can be kinda hit and miss on the island drama.

I hate procedurals in general with a passion and still appreciate Lucifer.

Didn't we have record producer in the pilot?

Alchenar posted:Confession isn't a magic ticket, you have to genuinely repent and be sorry and try to make amends etc etc. It doubly doesn't count if you commit sins with the intention of just going to confession later and washing it all away. Eh, that depends on which of the many branches of Christianity you ask.
