Finally caught the fifth Hap and Leonard episode. While the investigation part was funny, the reveal of the murderer was just super . Jesus, I teared up over TJ. 'Where'd his face go?'

I said it before, lots of tv doesn't surprise me or affect me emotionally but at least once an episode I am left stunned or moved and it sucks it's on Sundance cause I feel like it's the greatest show nobody's watching.

High five, only other Hap and Leonard watcher in existence! Let's be friends.

While the finale was a little more sedate,I like that it finally answered the overarching mystery that kicked off the season. And it's cool that both seasons have ended with a lingering shot hinting at the plot/mystery/setting for the following season (please tell me this is getting a season 3).

And if you like this series, check out Cold In July on Netflix; it's a movie based on another Landsdale work directed by Mickle and Damici.

I saw an ad on the subway today for The Jim Jeffries Show. Judging by the picture on the ad (Jim holding a newspaper that's on fire), it looks like yet another "comedian talks about current events" show that's so prevalent on Comedy Central and other channels. Someday, there will be a market correction on those kinds of shows, because they're arguably more concerned with making a point and being right than being funny. But as it stands, CC is stuck in a rut and trying to replicate the success of Inside Amy Schumer and Broad City without knowing why audiences love those shows. It's similar to how over ten years ago, they were fixated with "edgy" comedy shows by cranking out half-assed attempts at Chappelle's Show.

It's a shame, because I like Jim Jeffries's standup, and I also thought that Legit was a great show. Too bad that the second season was on FXX and nobody watched it, it added a lot of heart to the central concept.

I wonder has there ever been a "central mystery" show whose ending/reveal actually lived up to the hype? I feel like there must have been some, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Obviously a lot of shows had great endings such as the aforementioned Breaking Bad and Justified, but they weren't really "central mystery" shows.

Fox has decided that they don't want to wait until Corey Hawkins is done doing whatever and has canceled 24: Legacy. Although they have said they're interested in continuing to do 24, just now as an anthology.

Any Hap and Leonard fans in here?

I just finished binging S2 and it was... odd. I think part of the problem was I binge rewatched S1 before it and there's a dramatic tone shift between the seasons. S1 has a lot of violence and some tragedy but at its core its a wild adventure story of two pretty normal guys getting sucked into a get rich quick scheme and poo poo escalating. S2 is two really broken guys fighting against a corrupt system to try and get justice for unspeakable tragedies. She got really, really dark.

On its own I think I probably would have really enjoyed it. And in retrospect I think that's how it should be approached and not the 2 season binge I did. I just had no idea the two seasons/novels would be so dramatically different and was really put off my footing by how super, super hosed up and tragic poo poo was.

Is this one of those thing like where people watched Weeds because they were attracted to Mary Louise Parker?

Amy Ackers's character has been one of the worst characters on the show so far. I find Reese to be horribly bland and uninteresting, but he doesn't actively annoy me.

Robert Llewellyn as Kryten in Red Dwarf too. At least he got to keep the superior suit for the BBC episodes that followed!

I've heard there's an Ian McKellen interview from years and years ago (I haven't read it - I've only read about it - so take with a grain of salt because it may not even exist) where he reminisced about how he, Maggie Smith and Hopkins all joined Sir Laurence Olivier's Shakespearean company around the same time, and Hopkins was always a guy who didn't care much for the purity of the stage or the dignity of treading the boards or whatever it is Serious Actors go on about, and what he really wanted to do was go to America and make big stupid movies and get paid lots of money for it.

Pretty excited for this. Loved Psych and still quote from it often.

She's got an Audrey Hepburn thing going on in the Marvel movies and it makes every scene she's in really distracting since she's supposed to basically be an extra.

For years, I thought the second season of Frisky Dingo was bad and wrote it off because the first handful of episodes were pretty dry and I'd somehow seen them all several times, but you get through 5-6 episodes and it's good stuff again. They're running a marathon from about that point on on [as]'s animation marathon right now.

But god drat, Adam Reed and the running gags, man. Now I know why Archer has so many.

I kind of want to see this exact thing now but I'm not sure it could be more insane than the Riverdale we're already getting.

I've been way behind on this thread for ages but just chiming in to say that the current seasons of Nathan For You, Vice Principals, Broad City, Mr. Robot and The Good Place are all loving killing it.

This is one of the strongest years of TV in a long time.

I had never heard of this show until about a week ago, and was curious whether it was "actually good" or just "we were able to make a funny trailer" good.

Woah I’d never looked at his IMDB page, he’s been on the writing staff for three of my favorite TV shows (Justice League, Fringe, and Boston Legal), not to mention his role in creating/producing Arrow and The Flash.

Who the gently caress is John Glover.

So Amazon spend $250 million to acquire the rights to make the show, and that's before production has even started. A show like this will probably be at least $100 mill per season right? These costs are staggering.

I saw someone a few months ago wearing a shirt with a Punisher skull overlaid with one of those "blue lives matter" flags
I wasn't sure whether he didn't understand the point of the Punisher at all, or if he understood it perfectly well

I hope they managed to work out the cast schedules to shoot it all together. I liked the last season, but the big group scenes being stitched together despite not being filmed with everyone was super obvious.
