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!
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:<
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
"Mom's bringing the scary and Dad's bringing the hairy."
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.
Even though I really liked the Pilot, something just felt a little bit off about it.
The visual atmosphere they're creating is perfect and it clearly shows which direction this show is supposed to head. Also, the music is really well-picked and just fits.
But while the looks and the characters, as well as the story assume an atmosphere similar to classic Nordic crime shows, the pace so far feels way too fast, as if they couldn't manage to fit all the content into a single episode otherwise. That, for me, kind of disrupted all the things that were so great about it. Nevertheless, we'll see how it all develops- it was still a very solid Pilot.
Enjoyed this way more than i thought i would.... and i dont even follow Baseball but its something ive always been curious about
How can Lukas be so self-centered? Philip deserves better.
Yeah well, love that they actually have the guts to kill off main characters. Must admit, it was hard to let both Lincoln and Lexa go this season, but keeps the plot going. We need an epic revenge on Pike. Great shows kill main characters.. (Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy (the most Epic of them all)). Anyways a great episode !
Oh man, such a good finale! Incredible build up to season 2, and feels like season 1 was too short. The writer was using season 1 just to introduce the characters though. Now the fun begins!
I really want to like this show because i like the story of the books but this show is just awful they can't do anything right! Terrible actors they are. and the script is the worst.
Can't wait.. I want to know where Matheo Gloriano Rogelio Solano Villanueva is (this name Lol)
I was really having my doubts about this season, seeing freakshow and hotel pretty much sucked...but FINALLY!!! it is back where it belongs, been a long time i jumped while watching AHS, but this episode had me jump 2 times while the others made me bored and want to stop watching. I really love the way they are playing it this season having the "real people" and actors play it out, it gives a whole new dimension to the show. For the first time in a long time i can't wait till next week and see what happens!
Major on teenage girl brain? I need that in my life more often!!
The show itself started quite strong. It was intriguing despite some weird story decisions (having students do leg work for a well known lawyer like Keating).
But throughout the story the writers pretty often went "full retard" to provoke. My best guess: all for better ratings.
The amount of cheap shots are stacking high but that isn't necessary considering the general strong acting in this show.
At the beginning up until roughly the middle I had my problems with the portrayal of Connor and his homosexuality. How it was exploited to get what Connor needed, mostly information for Keating. The time she called him out on it was kind of redeeming for the show but soon after it was taken over by other crap.
Most recent was the plot of two gay men blaming a woman for raping one of them so they could get a decent amount of money, instead of using such a plot to deal with a real issue: men being raped by women while it's not taken seriously.
Now Oliver got HIV, from all the people it's one of the gay characters. Again, stereotypical prejudices used in this show exploited to "shock", or rather provoke. Maybe it's even the payback that Connor was such a whore at the beginning and he actually infected Oliver but we'll see...
But what strikes me the most here is the fact that fans claim this show advertises safer sex or getting tested for STDs. F*cking hell. It's a sideplot without any of that meaning, it's mentioned without any focus on those two and is another example of the crucial problems this show has but it's blindly praised.
Considering the plot in this double episode, I have my doubts that the outcome of Frank being the one who killed Lila was the initial idea. I guess it was supposed to end differently, hadn't this gotten another season. While Frank was always this mysterious, cool-headed character, it feels like a backdoor that was kept open for a second season order. Otherwise it feels too easy and I wasn't really surprised. He wouldn't be my first guess but definitely not my last and if what the flashback shows was the actuall truth, Sam ultimately killed Lila nontheless as he was the one blackmailing Frank to do it even if he wasn't choking her to death in person.
In terms of who is the murderer of Rebecca: My best bet is Bonnie. She vanishes from the episode after she sends the doucheface home without any word and she was the one who got a lot of her confidence back the last couple of episodes, proving herself to Keating as she desperately wants her approval. It opens the chance of showing what happened from her perspective afterwards and fill another episode.
I definitely rule out the obvious ones: Frank, Keating and Wes.
I've got my doubts about Connor. Other two suspects would then be Michaela, who recently discovered she's from the "Ghetto" and can't hide it (stereotypical, so it fits the show) or Laurel, who is also rather cool headed.
Somehow, the cliffhanger has some resemblance to the season 3 cliffhanger of Breaking Bad but without any of its brilliance (and shock value).
you know the world is a fucking disaster when its easier to tell your dad you got a girl pregnant and you stole his stuff and sold it for her to get an abortion than to tell him youre gay smh
I am honestly so OVER Belly’s ridiculously messy love triangle, and I only want more Steven and Taylor!
Was an interesting ep with great action. Nice to see the softer side of Cat Grant appear as well. Looks like they're trying push this James x Kara thing still though which is a shame.
Did i understand that correctly? Has Piper accidentally started a White Power KKK gang?!
I don't think either the Demagorg or Eleven are dead, I guess El and the thing just got to the Upside Down and then she closed the portal somehow. The slugs inside Will are probably going to be the key to find a way in, the next season. Hopper sure knows something more than us, first the encounter with the government guys outside the hospital and then the food in the middle of nowhere.
Intriguing, very intriguing, although I wish I could get a show about teenagers who didn't worship at the alter of old media (maps, tapes, much retro, so old, wow)
