The TV thread

Yeah, I saw it some time ago. Same script as the British debut spoken by American actors; something was really off there.
Of course, it was a credit to Richard Ayoade that they brought him in for the US pilot. There was no one else on Earth who could play the Moss role.

 

Had never been much of a Danny McBride fan, but damn, is HBO's "Vice Principals" some dark fun. Got through episode 5 tonight, and nearly cried from laughing. McBride and Walton Goggins play off each other spectacularly.

 

Walton Goggins is acting the hell out of that role with every inch of his body. The way he walks and carries himself. Every slight change in expression. He had a fully formed character created after about 30 seconds of screen time.

 

Stumbled by accident across an article about the TVLand show Younger and have started binge-watching on OnDemand. Enjoying it quite a bit. Sutton Foster is quite delightful.

 

I'm one episode behind (only two left, last weeks and this week's finale); this is so well done.

The opening statement by the DA was well done (in the humble opinion of a trial lawyer); short and yet right to the heart of it.

SPOILER ALERT!!




The transformation from innocent college kid to 1st Lieut. to Jailhouse King has been amazing to watch. Never thought of it that way.

The late reveals of possible alternative killers is fascinating as well.

Turtorro and his feet were funny initially then distracting but the apparent solution and the transformation on him brought a smile to me.


Can't wait to see the conclusion.

 

I really love this show. Got into it because of Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff and have stayed because of the excellent boss, played by Miriam Shor.

 

SPOILER ALERT












































Nice payoff to the eczema storyline at the end. You wondered how they were going to bring that full circle. Like Sepinwall, my only real qualm with the finale was them turning Chandra into a total clown. It's one thing to show some inexperience in court. It's another to smuggle crack into Naz. They didn't set that up well enough to make it believable to me.

 

FTWD is so awful.
I planned to give it up, as I did with TWD, but another person keeps insisting on watching it on Sunday nights.
It's such lazy writing. The ham-fisted plot contrivances annoy me.
I've got to stop watching this junk.

 

Agreed. Naz and his mom was painful; because as a guy I understand. Similarly, his hug with his dad resonated since I'm a dad.

 

If someone doesn't like Winona Ryder, doesn't like creepy/scary shows and isn't into sci-fi, would they hate Stranger Things? Asking for a friend.

 

Probably.

 

Expected nothing less. He does not carry many shows.

Nearly through season one of Showtime's "Billions." Fantastic show, as anything with Paul Giamatti and Maggie Siff was bound to be.
