Seconding this. It's a pretty great conspiracy thriller with great characters and fun sci-fi fluff.

Also features Shohreh Aghdashloo essentially playing the person Hillary Clinton fantasizes herself to be.

It was really good and there so many dumb things that could have been preventable but people died in the most stupidest and shittiest way possible. The early invasion was a wild west poo poo show and it's a really good watch to get the sense of just fuckery and nihilism. They did a great job conveying the pointlessness of it and even the First Recon Marines had that doubt nipping at the back of their heads.

I've been binging through Leverage again (and watching the final season for the first time) and I can't say I don't like temporarily living in a fantasy world where cartoonishly evil supervillains get their comeuppance instead of being elected President.

Also, seen the first four episodes of Inside No. 9, a U.K. anthology series from two of the people behind The League of Gentlemen and three out of four have been these amazing short comedy-horror films. (The fourth one was all right.) Can't recommend it highly enough.

Speaking of Scaryguy, in the first ep of Pretty Little Liars Big Little Lies, Reese Witherspoon uses over/under correctly ("The over and under [salary] in this town is about $150,000.")

In was the only CSPAM moment in a show that otherwise glorifies the interpersonal "problems" of the disgustingly rich

Newest Girls was fuckin legit. People have his image of Dunham as being the arch-SJW, but that's just not accurate. This episode, for example, was about fake rape accusations hoisted by "tumblr girls", comparing them to witch hunts, and how the "blind belief" mentality denies the gray zones of reality. Certainly not the liberal party line. Girls has from the very first episode been a skewering of millennial culture's most ridiculous aspects, not a celebration of them.

Lena did get sucked into Clinton's orbit. She did have an advantage in the industry because of who her parents were. She did tell an incredibly hosed up story about something she did when she was seven years old. Who doesn't have some skeletons?

She also took off her clothes for countless sex scenes on her tv show, highlighting her imperfect body with its "interesting day deposits". And you know what? That was brace and cool, and I think it's great that a lot of women out there who don't look like Allison Williams got to see a representation of themselves who sent the message that they shouldn't be ashamed of their bodies or their sexuality.

That fact that Milo felt the need to specifically call her out by name during his ill-fated big break should indicate the type of people that are most invested in tearing Dunham down for her "lack of talent" of "ugly face." I spent my twenties growing up alongside Hannah Horvath, and I'm a better person for it.

people who say "lena dunham fat" or "lena dunham is the SJW queen" are missing the point. the point is that she's the stupidest person with celebrity status by a very wide margin. she still thinks that Hillary Clinton is the perfect political person who is beyond reproach even after her horribly-run campaign. read her election postmortem if you don't believe me. when it comes to non-political stuff, she must love the taste of her foot for putting it in her mouth so much

also, Girls is a horrendous show. if you're going to have a comedy show with four irredeemably terrible main characters, they need to get their comeuppance once in a while. think of Seinfeld, Always Sunny, Archer, Curb, Eastbound and Down, and countless other sitcoms. i read that in the last season, lena dunham's character rapes a man, and when the season ends, people still think she's great, she's going to do excellent things, etc. that's a great way to make people either avoid it or hatewatch it

it was probably done much better and funnier in the classic Simpsons episode "Homer Badman." also there's speculation over whether lena dunham made up a fake rape accusation when she went to college. if that is true, that's another layer of awfulness

Was the first episode/pilot a particularly low point for the show, then? I thought it was cheeseball soap opera tier acting, with off-the-rack costuming and a lovely SyFy CGI gloss.

Star Trek TNG looked more lived-in.

It's a generational story about the jojos (all 8 of them) and their battle against many things, but mostly against DIO, Jonathan Joestar's adopted brother and rear end in a top hat supreme.

That's pretty much my take of it, it's a show about horrible people that unironically wants you to sympathize and care about them.
