Not funny at all. I give it one season, max. Hopefully less.
i have never wanted to punch a fictional character. and then i met lukas
Pretty good first episode for The Jim Jefferies Show. It will take a few months for Jim to get comfortable in his role and feel out the show and his audience. Jim is bringing a little different flavor to late night. We'll see what happens!
"Oh, yeah. Well, your mother's a horse." -Marco Diaz
Am I the only one who caught that?
Gina Rodriguez ("Awake", "Miss Bala") shows some surprising comedic chops as a once promising writer, who chased after a relationship that didn't work out, only to return home to her old gig and find that her besties have kind of moved on without her, one now being her supervisor, and the stuck up rich girl they used to make fun of now runs the newspaper where she works. Rather than simply continuing where she left off, she finds she was a pity hire, and is stuck in a LITERAL closet to pen obituaries for obscure people who have shed their mortal coils.
Hilarity ensues when she meets a friendly old man while she is drowning her sorrows, only to find him in her flat the next morning, where she discovers she is pretty much channeling "Cole" from "The Sixth Sense", until she figures out what they need from each other, and pens the appropriate commentary on their life and passing. In the interim, she ends up discovering just as much about herself, and learns there may be more to herself, her workmates and others than her first impressions.
Pilot episode had some laugh out loud moments, and, I look forward to seeing if they can keep this fresh and interesting throughout the season.
such a really great start! =) unexpected.
Soso and Poussey are just so adorable (♥‿♥)
I was worried their relationship would get dragged out or there would be unnecessary hardships, but they work on their problems and they move forward and that's just beautiful. I can't stop smiling everytime I see them :')
So far, the best epidode from this season
Welp, wtf was that Ryan?! You should've cut out all that reality TV BS.
Also, I agree, Adina Porter IS a regular...she was the driving force the whole second half of the season.
AND MY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE WITCH WERE NOT ANSWERED D:<
Dear Sara Hyland, please never try speaking with a british accent again. Especially to Alan Van Sprang's face (he did a super job in Reign, hers on the other hand was plain cringy).
I wonder how hard british actors cringe when american actors try speaking with a wretched british accent to their faces.
Also, we're back to Clace! Yay! That scene with the rune and the golden light was artistically beautiful.
And, c'mon. Throwing Jonathan off a bridge? If there was ever a cliched way in which someone is most likely to not die, that one is it.
Ed: So ... it's an anti-banana ray.
Kelly: That's really interesting.
Ed: We need no longer fear the banana.
Kelly: Does it work on all fruit?
Ed: What about salads?
"There's something dangerous about the boredom of teenage girls." Strong opening line.
Coach is Emma Duval from Scream.
Beth is spunky. The gun was taking things too far though.
Matt Donovan!
Why the hell do they always hire actors that cannot speak spanish, at all? If you know the language you can tell they're just repeating phonetically, but they don't know what they're saying.
Slightly disappointing start, however it manages to redeem itself in the last five minutes or so.
7.4/10. A very representative episode of Bob's Burgers -- nothing that will knock your socks off, but a well constructed episode with a lot of good humor and heart, and good emotional beats in both stories. The B-story with Bob not wanting to put up the mafia murder plaque, only to find that Jimmy Pesto steals it, is classic restaurant rivalry stuff. But the twist that Bob can't take it away from Jimmy because of how happy it makes him, and Jimmy's skin-deep appreciation for Italian culture are both great.
And the A-story is a nice continuation of the Boys 4 Now story the show explored previously. The whole plot to throw up on Boo Boo gets a little convoluted, but the idea behind the story, as explicated by Tina, of admitting that you like something even if it's a little embarrassing, is a heartening one, and it's framed in the perfect awkward Tina way. It's nice to see Louise pushing her Boo Boo love off on others until the moment of truth when she admits that she likes her pre-teen idol. Plus, the way she calls him a "garbage angel" and other similar lines that perfectly sell how conflicted her attraction and repulsion to this kid are is perfect.
Overall, it's not necessarily one of the more memorable episodes, but both stories end on high emotional notes, and there are a good number of laughs to get there. Even the relatively ho-hum episodes of Bob's Burgers are better than a lot of the shows' best.
10 outta 10 kinda show right here
When are we going to realize that AHS is not the good show that once was? srsly, i have no idea whats going on
Gotta say this was an excellent episode, the tension, the acting and Kathy Bates WOW! So far this season has been the best since Asylum imp! Please keep it this way!
A lot better than episode 1. Plus Veronica in that cheerleader outfit...yes
This episode did it again, it had funny moments (Lola and the robbery), and then it made me sob with the older couple's passing. I was so scared that Buck would end up with that awful reporter, but I'm relieved to see that earthquake girl is back, she seems sweet.
Sophia: Jean is a nice person. She happens to like girls instead of guys. Some people like cats instead of dogs. Frankly, I'd rather live with a Lesbian than a cat. Unless a Lesbian sheds - that I don't know.
I am loving Stevie so far. And Eugene Levy's eyebrows should be credited separately lol
"Mom's bringing the scary and Dad's bringing the hairy."
hayley dead :( then back to life,this is soo sad.tears and Rebekah coming, amazing episode.
Since I watched this pretty quickly, I wanted to just write 1 overall review, instead of one for each episode.
I honestly loved this. I had no idea what it was about, but when I saw that queen Winona was in it, I was sold. I started watching it, and I just loved the entire vibe of this show, the 80's/sci-fi thing that's going on, the mystery, the monsters...
The performances from all of the kids (and all the younger actors tbh) just blew me away. The girl that played Eleven just absolutely stole the show. Winona gave us an incredibly amazing character which I loved so much. David Harbour (Chief Hopper) was a bit of a surprise for me. I didn't expect to love his character as much as I did. Honestly all of the performances in this show were so good and really made this incredible to watch.
My advice would be: just watch this show if you like 80's/sci-fi. You really won't regret it!
This episode was better than all of season 5. Off to a great start!
Well, I have to admit I really liked the pilot. I only watched one game of baseball ever (toronto - yankees) and got bored the hell out of me - just not my sport. But the kind of making and the feeling this show delivers ... really loving it. Give it a shot, even if you don't care for the sport.
The fight scenes in this show are SO GOOD! Also, Jon Bernthal as The Punisher is A+.
I can't see chemistry between Matt and Karen. Doesn't even look that they would be a couple that would last... Hope the serie doesn't focus on them...
