And you could like Tony Soprano?! Don't have to like the character to enjoy the program.

SPOILERS EUGENE AVERT YOUR EYES tony at some level is a family man, is hounded by problems, fears death of worse, besides being a fucking sociopath. the audience sees a dad, a husband, an abused son and brother... who is also a motherfucker. note:ALSO. the whole ordeal with the therapist is the very point of that. she thinks she can cure him. we think he’s got a human side. SPOILERS ENDED that woman from fleabag i have zero empathy for. just the way she was written. seems dead inside. just a mechanism. same thing with the family fucking guy. can’t stand anyone in it, reads to me like cynicism not satire, therefore i never watched. |

Not sure how far you got into Fleabag but there are definitely bits in that where you sympathise with her and what she's going through. Now neither of us are women in mid-30s living in London. However, a few female friends I've spoken to about it have all noted how real it is. Fact is everyone is busy looking for their mate and wanting to fuck. She's an extreme form of it but that's talked about later in the first series. I think you'd made up your mind about her early on and then decided to budge from that opinion. We all have traits that make us disliked by people and Fleabag is no different. A program barely two series old and you can see the evolution of the character already. |
well yeah i made up my mind early, it’s how tv works... if one can’t stand something there are other options. it’s not supposed to be bootcamp/torture.
the first time it was just depressing and we killed it after 10 minutes, the second time we said okay watched the whole first episode and she’s such a fucking asshole. then started episode 2 and just nope. i need this show like i need a fork in my eye. :D sorry man. did not like. won’t try again. — anyway now on season 4 of halt and catch fire. SO HOOKED. al gore is about to invent the internet haaahaaaahaaa |
Re-started watching Arrow again. I had only seen the first two seasons prior as I was waiting for the blu ray release of S03 at the time, and got distracted by life.
Something about a hero protecting their city w/ some mild soap opera like drama gets me every time. |
fucking halt and catch fire season 4 is like wrapping up or something and it’s sooooooo muuuuuuuch fucking reminiscence it’s BORING
way to jump the shark guys... speeches! fucksakes... |

Only 3 seasons though, right? Abyway, yeah, it turned into a drag there near the end. |
Started Atlanta over the weekend based on a few peeps here talking it up. about 4 episodes in and really enjoying it a lot.
Also watched a few episodes of The Act. I feel it might be a good watch, but also feel it's going to be a gut-puncher to get through. |
![]() We'll be watching it during English Language as an example of Australian English and the features of it. Probably not a good thing that I identified with the 'emo dykes' the main character was bitching about. (Her words, not mine) |
when I was in high school, the religion teacher, whenever he didn't feel like teaching which was very often would press play on the VHS cassette of his favourite movie:
Life Of Brian! ![]() this is what I've been watching on tv lately. I never really liked the Big Bang Theory so much (except for maybe the first seasons), I do like this prequel spin-off ![]() |
One time we had a sub teacher in Health and I just spent the whole class watching Monty Python clips on YouTube. The teacher walked past, saw what we were doing, and suggested that we watch the Ministry of Silly Walks.
And Young Sheldon is quite enjoyable, it's managed to stop with the tropes that make the original show iffy. And one of my friends looks like Sheldon's dad |
Looks like Jared Kushner
|
sssssst. it's supposed to be a secret that would be revealed in season 4
|
haaahaaaa life of brian
best easter movie ever — watching a show on netflix called “dirty money” the vw diesel scandal, holy shit! i didnt know the rabbit hole went so deep. great first episode |
"explained" on netflix
im actually *rewatching* the k-pop episode because it's so absolutely insane i don't care 2 shits about k-pop, but as a PRODUCT, holy fucking hell, it blew my goddamn mind, ha ha ha -- also, the underlying story is the economic fucking miracle that is south korea |
I'm claiming Wrestlemania 35 as tv, and I'm watching it
|

i thought this had disappeared in the 90s replaced by... i forget the name.. wwe mcmahon, something |
Quote:
Wrestlemania has always been WWF/WWE, so still Vince McMahon. This was the 35th consecutive year. |
Quote:
“wrestlemania” is a great word ha ha ha just love that name |
Kingdom, the Korean zombie series. Absolutely stunning. Sumptuous production. Real high recco’s!

Just watched this. Talk about feeling shitty for driving a diesel car now! Honestly, my next car is gonna be electric after watching this. |
Quote:
and i would have said don’t despair, biodiesel can lend your engine a new greener life, but unfortunately as i understand nox increases with biodiesel. ayayay... next, wait for the info on battery manufacturing’s environmental effects :D eh, i just said this to illustrate that everything is tradeoffs.... i couldn’t drive electric where i live. the distances are too big. hybrid is appealing though, due to long driving range. however, the most environmental thing i can do right now is to keep my 8 cylinder truck running for as long as possible, hahaha. we mostly walk/bike to places, and the driving is just for rare supply trips faraway. so, the embedded energy of a new vehicle would outstrip any fuel saving benefits. srsly though, biking more and driving less would achieve tons more. oh that game is on again |

I'm lucky in that I live in the city centre so apart from work and driving to the Mrs' house I don't use the car more than I need to. However, I do do a lot of driving to and from work. |

anyway the... there’s a really nice british documentary on the bicycle i saw recently. i watched it free on amazon, but might be different for you. here’s the thing: http://bicyclethefilm.com/ |
For what will be obvious reasons...Game of Thrones later tonight
|

![]() Exceptionally relatable, and a great reminder that things could always be worse. Not to mention hilarious. |
![]() haaa haaaaa haaaaa o mannnnnn |
the amazon subscription to hbo is currently broken
keep getting errors |
I went through Hulu
|
prolly temp congestion, i got it going
gaymotron is goooooood..... or maybe i just got used to all the faces now |
![]() watching the Mighty Boosh. super funny |
also watching second season of American Gods. It has become more like the novel, thank goodness, and has far less of the soft-core porn shit that season 1's show runners thought was needed.
Reviews are mixed, but I prefer it. |
started catching up with season 2 of westworld last night
man that is one insufferable gore porn after another watching an injun getting scalped is not any kind of fun, even if it's a plastic head thandie newton and jeffrey wright are fantastic, but after that it becomes sorta like the walking dead might try a couple more episodes as paperwork tv but so far disappoint |
Quote:
I hate that show. it is just like Mad men, fantasy made real for wypepol. why do people want to watch recreations of the most horrific shit white folks did over and over and over again? because they LIKE IT. They get hard at it. fuck that shit. |
Westworld makes me hard...
|
Quote:
This show was hit or miss for me, but I did enjoy the tone of it for the most part. How is Season 2 holding up? I might have to start that this week. |
