I want a disclaimer on Fargo that says that the disclaimer is inaccurate

The Fargo disclaimer is essential and should never be touched.

on a different subject, been rewatching buffy on prime video during work breaks.
season 2 dialogue really picks up steam, and xander's lines get funnier. the whole series starts to get better. also, spike arrives. 90s tv for the ages. |

The writers are definitely playing fast and loose with the truth. Fine if people are watching it purely as a soap opera but it is being promoted sa slightly more than just that; dealing with real people and real (and often significant) events. So while I'm generally fine with artistic license, the writers do probably have at least some obligation not to misrepresent certain key events as blatantly as they have, especially when a large section of its audience, particularly overseas, won't have any idea what's been distorted or how. |

Yeah, I frankly couldn’t tell you what’s been distorted in terms of historical events. I haven’t noticed any clashes with my own knowledge regarding the events themselves, and what the fuck do I know about what Queen Elizabeth said or did about x/y/z? Nothing, that’s what. Anyway. Now I’m curious. What’s been distorted? |

The bits that seem to have caused the biggest controversy involve interactions between the Queen and Thatcher relating to the Falklands war which people who were involved are saying completely misrepresented their relationship and what was discussed. The relationship between the Queen and Thatcher is actually one of the more intiguing and complex stories of her reign so it's a shame they didn't just let it tell itself, rather than try and manipulate it into something that might've made for 'better tv' but was actually less interesting.

I watched the Flight Attendant on HBO Mac, and it’s infuriatingly dumb but just entertaining enough to keep… watching. Ugh.
Also Your Honor on Showtime. Bryan Cranston joint. Decent. Oh, and the final season of Shameless. First fictional TV show I’ve seen to integrate the pandemic into the story. I’ll be that helped them with filming, since everyone’s wearing masks all the time. Smart. Good show, that. Also during the holiday i rewatched some of John Adams on HBO with the fam. Good stuff. And Justin Theroux (my main guy from The Leftovers!!!) is in it. Funny, I barely recognized him because he was so young looking, but he plays John Hancock. |

I started watching Siren on HBO yesterday. So far, after 4 episodes, it's a bit lame. Not the best acting kind of like a soap opera, but on imdb the ratings are getting better as the series progresses, so I'll get to watch the rest anyway.
We only have 2 seasons though, the third season hasn't arrived here (yet?)

the final season of mr robot was fucking great.
i was afraid it would jump the shark and deliver me some predictable shit, but it avoided those traps masterfully. i might watch the whole thing from the start all over again one of these days. |

Now don't laugh, but Murder, She Wrote. It is harmless fun, and my 12 year old likes it.

Also, I'm about 15+ years late to the party, and making my way through Deadwood.

This. I'm kinda sad lots of people lost interest in the show "too soon". Plus, Mac Quayle is a genius.
