young lady, who is your second dad? Callum seems to be completely written out of the role of Lexi's parental figure. laughable work from the writters
Everyone did amazing, but Rose was robbed of 10s.
None of your business, Jack.
6 only because Mick playing superhero was totes adorb. It shows that a great dad is the one thing Mick always is. Have to remind myself every couple of episodes: I might have some temporary changes of heart, but no compassion for abusers and murderers.
Loved Urzila cashing in the vouchers at the end! :joy:
lol Shona with her own pile of sh*t boyfriend
I live for Damien's sense of humor. Somehow, he feels like a realer, and funnier, Lee Mack to me.
Sally is absolutely iconic, no one can change my mind.
Greg's comments just seem more harsh as there are no actual audience in the room to deflect the mood. Also, the water thing made no sense.
God no, Joe, you don't do that.
The grand reveal felt rushed :no_mouth: So many possibilities of things playing out...
It is weird that I like this so much? Didn't really mind the "animation" style, I felt like it gave the whole thing a little comedic punch on top of the amazing work of the seiyuus. It certainly looks like Netflix's paycheck to Tsudaken served them well. But why is this so short though...
Letting go of a character with so much more potential so soon... Don't know if we're ever going to know more about Kurt's connection to the bad guys, it felt that they couldn't come up with a better way to get Will to the FBI people, so they're like: "Boom, you're dead." :skull:
It's cool and all that he's a clean comic, and I found some bits quite amusing, but... I fell asleep in the middle of it. I went back and rewatched it in its entirety, of course, or else my rating wouldn't have any credibility (to me). I may have been tainted by comics with dark and twisted senses of humor. Sorry, Nate.
The ending got my eyes all wet... It felt like the back story wasn't featured prominently, but I didn't mind it because the Goto household's scenes made up for it perfectly! Slowly buy surely got me attached, it was an enjoyable blend of emotions.
Mike, solidifying my love for firefighters.
I don't know if any couple would survive all the conversations that these two exchanged in just one night... "Emotional terrorists" is the right description. They managed to drive me to the ground every single time I found myself being sympathetic. I'm not sure what I'm feeling right now. I guess that's the intent.
(A few honorable mentions: The top-notch, very fitting song choices; the pure grossness in Malcolm bringing out his exes and their brokenness as arguments and the chuckles the "authenticity" sketch's ending brought.)
I loved Tiff's character development, but Pete, ugh. Truly off-limits.
lol at Erin being the only one walking away with money.
I was looking forward to seeing this film since the day it was released, but I think I'm going to stop at the 35-minute mark for now. The first sequence got me intrigued, but I couldn't bear the "pop art" feel that emerges when the parents come into play. It felt incredibly out of place when the moods leading up to it had been on the heavier side. I don't think I'm finishing it anytime soon. If anyone wants to convince me to give it another chance, feel free in the replies. :upside_down:
That was the greatest game show episode I've ever watched. All the challenges were fun, I was rooting for everybody, except Tony (but hey, he lost the first round :P). When it came down to Taryn and Ben, I would have been happy if any of them won the thing. So happy for Ben! At a loss for words, bye. :wave:
The moment I've been waiting for... About time Doug head straight to the E.R. for his crazy moves. It was nice to have a one-on-one between Tiff and Gina. And the ex... He was cute, hoped that we'd see him in a few more episodes, but after all that, maybe not. :P
I mean, he has been Servet's shadow this whole time, but he didn't even have a plan B when dealing with such important matters...
I truly underestimated the word "horny" in the description of this show lol. Even the "grownups"...
Went into this without having seen the previous movies so wasn't really familiar to the storylines that were happening, but I'm intrigued.
Would consider this a samples catalog of Netflix stand-up specials than a straight up "Best Of". (I believe that to be the real intent of this, which I guess worked on me. Will definitely add a few of them to my watchlist after this.) Still got some good, genuine chuckles from this though. I have seen some of the specials included independently separately and certainly enjoyed reliving those moments, but some just don't have the same impact as standalones. You don't get the whole context leading up to it.
I skipped most of Kevin Hart's part though. Few seconds in, I couldn't stand all his talk about his status and box office hit. Curious as to why Netflix is actively trying to push him. Money?
(Edited because my English is garbage.)
This comment needs 5+ words so... :musical_note: Jackson :musical_note:
It's always felt like there was this connection between Harry and Jamie. The ways that they omit that aren't always in line. Jamie pushing Harry to confide in fate, chances and risks. Harry constantly trying to get Jamie to his jail cell, but he eventually saw through and it turned into a desire to help a man who may not look like it, but is just the same as you. After he pushed through all that, Harry decided to give in to the game, but at what cost? At the end, Jamie is the same to Harry as Nick was to him, in whatever messed-up way that is. They were meant to collide.
It was nice to have those final moments with the two of them. I had hopes for an ending that included Jamie in handcuffs sitting across from Harry, just talking casually during prison visits, but that would be too beautiful of an ending for this television genre, wouldn't it? So sad.
People are saying bad things about this show but none of that really resonated with what I saw, so I'm writing my thoughts about it to balance things out.
Personally, I loved it. This is the last to come out of the entity once known as Marvel Television, from which the Netflix's The Defenders shows also came from. This show bears some similarities to the aforementioned in that they are slow-burners with more character, story development blended well with darker, gory details. (And the usual, but subtle, dose of humour and sarcasm is just chef's kiss)
One more thought: you don't dive straight into television and complain about feelings and emotions. They are a part of what makes television television. Just look at any Marvel Television show, non-Marvel superhero shows or even most drama series that aren't about superheros at all. This is clearly a TV show about a family, the Helstrom family, so what did you expect? A family that acts like they are strangers and only cares about exorcising the hell out of each other? If you are that into action, just watching the MCU blockbuster movies instead isn't a bad idea. I mean, they clearly have bigger budgets specifically for that department. (Even those have emotional sequences, and viewers seem to enjoy it, so...)
Though it's highly unlikely because of Disney and Marvel's new focus on shows featuring the MCU movie stars, I'll be crossing my fingers for more. Hopefully, they will get enough momentum to continue this story.
That was a short but powerful 19 minutes. We got to see and understand the Latasha Harlins that was is, the beautiful things and legacies she left behind from her own loved ones, not just some meaningless headlines in the press. Every single word they said got me feeling countless emotions, got me thinking about the state of the world we live in today.
We are slowly moving to the place where people wouldn't have to suffer for all this, but we need to be faster. Every other day you wake up and there's a casualty in the news, opening up another wave of discussions. We need to be opening them up ourselves: talk about it, get educated about it, take action with the power and privileges you have, vote for the changes you want for our lives.
Rest in peace, Latasha.
