The TV thread

Had avoided this thread for a bit because I finally found time to watch the last three episodes of Fargo S5 last night. Just gripping shit. Juno Temple and Jon Hamm were both incredible throughout.

Spoiler: Penultimate episode question

I mean, the use of YMCA when Roy was gathering all of the patriots at Tillman Ranch was a complete jab at Trump, right? Since he loves playing it at his rallies? Lots of not-so-subtle jabs at our current political environment throughout the season.

 

Curb Your Enthusiasm seems to have morphed from a loosely scripted show into Whose Line is it Anyway.

They have a scenario, tell some jokes then yell “fuck you” at each other.

There are still some great situations and funny lines but there isn’t any cohesion.

 

This season is gloriously stupid and I find myself gutting out these shows the way I do continuing education classes for work.

 

That's got to be a diff'rent strokes thing. Because I think the first three episodes have been outstanding and playing out in classic David fashion.

 

Larry's line "I'm authentic. I care about myself" is great.

And Susie Essman screaming profanities will never get old.

 

Finished Night Country (True Detective); thrilling, there’s complaints out there but IMHO you can always complain about something.

 

Anyone watch making of We Are the World on Netflix? Really fun to relive 1985 music scene.

 

I saw it. It was great.

 

Caught some of the James Brown documentary on A&E last night. Didn't realize he aligned with Nixon.

 

I had no idea JB on the pregame show was a Nixon fan.

The more you know …
