"You said like 30 insane things to me in the last few minutes"
That exchange with Seth was great. Really enjoying this season so far, feels like classic Curb.
I laughed more this episode than in all of the previous episodes of this season combined. This felt like classic Curb.
This episode has a lot of great zingers. Wicked funny!
Because a tiny part of you wants to jump
The production value on this is visablly fucking insane. What a gorgeous show.
And with only 2 episodes out I am already hooked like haven't been by a show in a long time.
EDIT after full first season:
Damn, I'm disappointed right now. It started off so well with the first episode. But with each passing episode it felt more like two different shows. One on Trantor about Empire. Which was fucking amazing science fiction and mesmerizing to watch. But also one on Terminus about the Foundation itself. Which felt like a cheap SyFy spinoff in the same universe. Very bizarre.
Still an entertaining watch throughout but it could have been so much better.
BTW. I haven't read the books.
Still can't believe Bill Ponderosa is out there trying to seduce young women! Would be awesome if we had Hank Moody meet Sweet Dee right?
I liked the first season best. The show's very uneven. Sometimes it's very funny, other times really boring or gross or stupid. Too self-indulgent.
Louis C.K. has redefined comedy for me,and I don't want to go back ever !!!
I'm never gonna watch anything as amazing and as beautiful as this masterpiece and I know it :/ One of the very very few comedy shows that did not rely on the romantic relationships of the main characters to be successful, Tina Fey is an absolute genius to have written a show like this :)
The second best show of all time .. right behind My Name is Earl. Itsa shame both were cancelled!
How good is this show? I just teared up at a green army figure in a pint of beer
It's interesting to see Nate become an asshole, since at the beginning he was the innocent character, sadly I know this kinds of things actually happen and people forget where they came from and who help them along the way.
The best épisode of the 3rd Season...comedy & action! The top !
The funniest part of that episode is Apple thinking Siri would ever get that playlist right.
Abed and his father speak absolutely awful Arabic oh dear
Chris's real feelings about his father and his surrogate father Tony and his life coming out through his acting classes, and him being unable to deal with it was powerful stuff. I also liked Big Pussy complaining about Tony having no honor in a scene where he was talking to The Feds. I got a kick out of how he said that the new generation was either on drugs or psychos, and Chris and Furio more or less prove him right. And the Furio scene at the massage parlor was incredibly well shot; very visceral and real.
I was less sure about the Melfi stuff, though her weird flirty phone call to Tony was interesting if odd. I have to admit, I've found Lorraine Bracco's acting stye a little weird. There's something affected about it, but it may just be a character choice. She seems to become more Tony-like in her scenes with her own therapist, and I think I see what the show is driving at, but it's still a bit off. In the same vein, Tony using Hesh as surrogate psychiatrist and Hesh copletely talking past him was fun. The episode is mostly carried by the Chris story, but it's fairly good aside from the Melfi stuff that stalls a bit.
I really enjoyed this episode. I love the way Tony implicitly compares his brief time in Italy to his life at home, and finds it hard to come back to the grind of New Jersey. Paulie's American Tourist lionizing The Old Country is potent as well, though in a different, more amusing sort of way. Even Chris missing the entire trip to shoot up is a commentary in and of itself. I also liked Carmella talking to Big Pussy's wife but really expressing her own feelings and thought process. All-in-all it was a very well-done episode.
Livia Soprano really is a despicable human being...
Weakest episode so far, since the case of the week only worked as a sort of background. Enough with Abigail already
These are my type of favorite episodes. Also it’s so crazy to see how this show started in the early 2000s and now they are talking about instagram stories and uber, I really hope for the show to go for another 10 years at least.
I hope Chris is doing okay.
With such a basic title I expected something worse. It's a bit of a mess, but the characters and the setting (Cairo in 1979) bring something that you don't usually see on Netflix.
And the attention war between Katara and Aang begins. First Katara wouldn't give Aang attention so he got attention from a bunch of Avatar fan girls- then she is jelous of the attention he is getting- how love begins.
5.6/10. Well, we're back to mediocrity again. Sokka showing off a strawman chauvinist streak, getting his but kicked by badass female warriors, learning their ways, and then falling in love with his trainer was all very, very rushed and filled with narrative shortcuts and cliches. In the same way, Aang letting his notoriety go to his head on the island, with more uninspired Aang-Katara relationship drama on top of a stock lesson about how adoration is intoxicating but distracting, was weak broth as well.
It wasn't all bad. The giant coy and snake monster riding was set up nicely and well-animated by this show's standards. Similarly, the showdown with Prince Zuko happened way too quickly, but it had some neat moments of the Fire Nation taking on the Kyoshi warriors.
The real strength of the episode only came at the end, when Aang looked down at the Kyoshi village in flames and realized that he'd been the cause of this. It's as nice a resolution to a pretty hackneyed fame story for him as there could be, with there being real pathos in the realization that even as a local celebrity and chosen one, he can't enjoy himself and has to be careful about whom she shares his identity with because his simply being some place can leave it in ruins thanks to the people hunting for him. There's weight to that, and it's something that was missing from the rest of this cheesy episode.
Yet again, I find myself liking the ideas behind this show, but not so much the way the show puts them into practice.
This season is INSANELY good. One of, or maybe the best one yet.
Spectacular conclusion to this amazing show... Can't put into words how much I've loved this season.
Perfect episode: poignant laughs and emotional punches, pure superb writing and acting.
I loved how The Priest is catching on Fleabag's 4th-wall commentary (and how that's weirdly absent when Boo was still alive...).
I feel more and more, that I can't describe what an amazing experience this show is. I'm not sure if I ever will be able to convince people to watch it, because the thing is, really, that I can't pour my thoughts into words about what this and Phoebe Waller-Bridge gives. So if you meet someone, anyone, who's thinking about starting to watch it, encourage them. Sure, they might not like it, that always can happen, but we mustn't lose hope, that some day more people will appreciate this miracle.
Bringing his fucked-up childhood traumas made me feel so sorry for him tbh.
I missed HIM I missed HIM I missed HIMmm.
