Boardwalk Empire over House of Cards, definitely. And I like House of Cards.

Sinteres posted:Disagree about Buscemi. He's a good actor, but he was completely miscast in that role. Every time he was supposed to be physically intimidating to someone (or even worse, actually got in a fist fight), it was kind of ridiculous. I agree about the last season though; turning a gangster story turned into a weird morality play about something that took place decades before the plot even started was kind of a poo poo show. That thing that happened is referenced heavily in previous seasons and is the start of everything that happens in the show. You sound like a person complaining that a movie didn't have enough splosions.

Sinteres posted:It didn't come out of nowhere, but the disproportionate focus on Nucky's sins of the past while the show was busy elsewhere covering the rise of organized crime in Chicago and New York made the show a tonal mess. Boardwalk Empire as a show tried to be half a gangster. The show was about fictional character Nucky Thompson. There may have been a million side people and side stories, but he was the beginning and end of that show. The event we're talking about is central and essential to the motivations of Nucky, the rise to power of Nucky, and where Nucky is at the end of the show.

Sinteres posted:I wish. Of course Nucky was the main character, but he often wasn't the best part of the show, and saying that the show begins and ends with him makes all the side plots sound like filler. If that were true, it would be a pretty awful show. Imagine saying Mad Men began and ended with Don Draper and everything about Peggy, Pete, Joan and Roger that wasn't directly tied to Don didn't really matter since it wasn't the point of the show. You're making some wild extrapolations there. Nucky was the main character, that storyline in the final season was central to his character, that's why it mattered and was not some waste of time.

The things that are played up as huge indignities in Colony are so Californian it hurts. "Oh no, I have to RIDE THE BUS. After that, I'm forced to CLEAN UP A KITCHEN."

Snak posted:It's also that, when Sherlock came out, it was a big, "universally loved" must-see. It was huge. So it's kind of a state of backlash where, because the pop-culture assumption is that it is good, dislike must be well-qualified. I'm not down with the current wave of people being too cool for school about Bendytoots, I think he's great and don't mind him being in almost everything. Sherlock is still garbage.

Ugh that show sounds terrible but like 80℅ of my posts in this thread are about how amazing Rectify is so you picked the right lever to get me to think about it.

Timby posted:I think the accent that Frasier and Niles use is more mid-Atlantic. I still want someone to answer the question: if Frasier and Niles were brought up solidly middle class, where did they get their snooty tastes from? It's said they got their attitudes and stuff from their mother, but they just wouldn't have the money for most of their lives to develop such expensive tastes.

Speaking of late, has anyone read an interview or anything with the creators of Rick and Morty explaining why they're dragging so hard on season 3? It is literally impossible to search for Rick and Morty news on the internet without wading through ten thousand fake clickbait "RICK AND MORTY SEASON 3 RELEASE DATE REVEALED" sites because apparently the fanbase is all gullible morons who spend too much time on the internet.

lelandjs posted:Animation takes awhile Morty, hoooo*burp*oow do you think it's made, do you think that you just magically snap your fingers and all of the frames of the carefully drawn and colored episode appear out of thin air? No, Morty, TV shows are animated by Korean children, children like *belch* you Morty, they're chained to desks and forced to draw every single movement we make until their fingers are numb. I enjoyed this post and thank you for writing it. Still salty about no Rick and Morty and their adventures. Rick and Morty time. Feels like I've been waiting forever and ever a hundred years.

Season 2 of Bloodline is very good stuff, and I went into it thinking it would be terrible for obvious reasons.
