The show is brilliant because the leads are smoking hot and want to bone like stray dogs but can't because of reasons. That tension, which I will call "the Pound-Town Struggle" for lack of any better word, is truly innovative in the world of primetime drama and elevates Evil amongst its peers.
Was this episode confusing as hell for anyone else? It was hard to follow.
This show has gone so far left that there isn't anything left to do beside I guess ending it at this point. Sometimes I think watching this show is like watching CNN. I think what Hollywood keeps getting confused is that they think we care about their political views. We do not. We just want you to do your job and that is producing something entertaining so that when we watch it we can escape our reality rather than indulging into more of it. If I wish to catch the latest news I can just tune in to a news channels.
this thing is EPIC !!! IT CAN EASILY BE THE NEXT GOT, the story is fantastic and addictive, best thing that came out of 2020 lol
I consider this one of the best movies of 2009, and its high up my list of best movies of the decade. It seems this movie came at a perfect time when all over the world but the United States especially people were getting laid off and tens of thousands of people had to look for a new job.
George Clooney plays the man who doesn't want to settle down and he found the perfect job to do it. He flies around America to fire people. While other people just wanna go as fast as possible from point a to b and see the airport as necessarily annoyance he enjoys every second of it. He has a lifestyle that sounds very appealing to me, no complicated relations, job or stuff that holds you down. Just go everywhere you want without thinking about what you leave behind.
Interesting fact: The director Jason Reitman put up an ad in a newspaper asking for anyone who recently got fired to speak about that experience. He told them it was for a documentary. So some of the people we see in the movie are people who actually got fired from their jobs and give a genuine answer to what they said when they were told they were getting fired and what they think is still important in their life.
Was sort of looking forward to Season3, but it is now so political that it's mostly unwatchable. I don't care for either political party. But this show is so far left now it's like looking at the daily news/nightly talk shows headlines. This is not entertainment. It's a propaganda show.
I was a big fan of The Good Wife and I loved the first two seasons of The Good Fight, but holy hell did it go to shit in the third season.
Let me preface by saying I'm a progressive and a staunch feminist. That being said, I still found season 3 unbearable. It's pandering, plain and simple: while The Good Wife regularly plundered the headlines and wore its politics on its sleeve, it still tried to tell a compelling story and presented its ideas in a nuanced manner. The character of Kurt, for instance, was created specifically to represent a more conservative point of view and present a foil for Diane's progressive views. In so doing, it gave us fantastic character drama.
Well, all that is gone in season 3. Now we get flashes of Eric and Don Junior as Diane throws axes to relieve her utter hatred of the Trump Administration. We get Diane arguing with a Trump-shaped bruise on her husband's shoulder, lamenting "Where did the men go wrong." We get Schoolhouse Rock-like interjections featuring shitty music that wink so hard at the audience that the writers must have sprained their eyelids writing them.
Again, my problem isn't with the show's political views. It's with the inane manner in which they've abandoned all objectivity and nuance to give us a bizarre, one-sided revenge fantasy where Diane rages on and on about Trump's existence. It's entertainment for the liberal echo chamber, not a clever discourse on modern politics.
And meanwhile, the characters have devolved into caricatures. If you liked how The Good Wife featured quasi-realistic courtroom drama, tough luck, the courtroom action no longer makes any damn sense.
And so I'm out. Although the first two seasons made it feel like The Good Wife could go on forever, I guess this is the moment I have to say goodbye. You folks had a good run, but somewhere along the way you bought your own cleverness and forgot to tell a gripping drama.
That was both a fascinating, sad and scary as hell episode. When that guy started vomiting, I immediately became anxious because I know how dangerous aspiration can be. And obviously the woman was completely addicted to the Xenon. No non-addicted person would be losing it and practically sobbing.
That one episode is enough for me to drop it, normally I give even the worst shows 2-3 episodes. Too many other, good, entertaining stuff to watch.
