F I N A L L Y a show that goes beyond cosmetic diversity to actually explore the intersectional experiences of people who embody multiple marginalized identities. Sex Education take note!
I feel like this show is if Sex Education and Euphoria had a baby - a little bit wholesome, a little bit gritty. Love that it feels less exploitative than Euphoria while still tackling tough issues.
Huge fan, highly recommend 10/10
Even if the show came across as cringey at points I'm really glad of the representation here. As someone who had autism themselves I felt like I could relate to a lot of what Sam went through. I couldn't relate to it all but everyone on the spectrum displays things differently but Sam was definitely a great main character and the actor portrayed him well. I can't wait to see what the fourth and final season brings as a conclusion.
Such a sharp comedy! Those dialogues are amazing. Even the children's lines are on point. It's so refreshing seeing a queer character being a deep, multifaceted person instead of just a pile of running gay jokes or the story of a victim. Simply wow.
The husband is too good to be true.
Rogen and Byrne have great chemistry together.
I can’t stand Seth’s outfits.
(Initial Impression). Why is this a half-hour show? This is not your typical SitCom, it has heart! This is comedy mimicking drama (THIS IS US, A MILLION LITTLE THINGS, THE VILLAGE). Walton Goggins is a very fine dramatic actor, so his slip into comedy has both depth and pace. I like the premise (as long as it doesn't end up being a shag-of-the-week show). There is a solid supporting cast and I really like the dynamics between the three families. I think I'm going to like this. I give this an optimistic 8 (great potential) out of 10. [SitCom with heart]
It's an ok show.
For my taste, it was too much like a parody sometimes. Lots of clichés and stereotypes, lots of over the top (quite frankly not very good) acting, lots of dumb jokes.
In this same quick, comedic style, Younger is a much better show. And fashion wise, I'd stick with The Bold Type, or even the timeless Devil Wears Prada.
The potential was there, but the execution was sloppy. I hope they get better writers if it gets picked up for a second season.
[HBO Max] Technically compelling, so elaborate that it sometimes loses focus on the narrative in favor of the visual. The problem is that it doesn't bring anything particularly new to the Shaquille O'Neal story, not unlike that of other NBA stars, and it can't avoid perpetuating the culture of machismo, money and fame as the only relevant objectives in the world of sport. It is a hagiography of the protagonist, emphasizing his humanitarian work (as if he were not forced by his popular relevance) and devoting ten seconds to discussing his inability to be a husband and father.
Has the best representation of what it's like living with Autism in any show I've ever seen, Quinni is incredible :blue_heart:
Station Eleven rewards patience, but that's a big ask for the cellphone / social media generation. Story progression within an episode is sluggish and it requires an alert mind to notice the important little things you'll probably miss if you're feeling bored. Throw Lost and The Leftovers in a blender, add a very mild hallucinogen, mix well, and pour out a nice glass of Station Eleven. Enjoy, but drink slowly. The taste is subtle, but the kick will be stronger than you think.
I’ve only had Johanna Constantine for 40 minutes but if anything happens to her I’ll kill everyone in this room and then myself
So nice to have Jenna Coleman back on my screen again. This was my favorite episode so far.
I really liked this show. I wish I had known as much about myself at that age as some of the characters. Best Aussie drama I've seen in ages.
I didn't fit in for different reasons, but really related to the show. I was only diagnosed with ADHD after high school, and autism in my 40's.
A brilliant continuation of one of 2018's best movies, wickedly smart, clever and tonally just right - a hangout TV show if there ever was one. Might just be even better than the film.
Men writing about women empowerment, almost a throw up! A 6 only for the girls, Lali I love you so much :heart:
