I'm pretty much done with it now that I've heard they're losing terriers and it's always sunny. I was close to it when they lost the x files now I'm done.
I'm sure I'll subscribe when they have a good original to watch but fuck em for now.
I'll spend a few more dollars on hulu a month for the ad free version. With that and prime there's no need for Netflix outside of their better original shows which to me there aren't that many to begin with.
Good show! Decent finish and set up for season 2 and I like where all the characters are at right now.

We watched the Thanksgiving episode of Happy Endings the other night and I never realized Marc Evan Jackson was in it, in an unusually not-Marc-Evan-Jackson role! It was before he was all over the place and it never registered before
One of the main characters from Suits got engaged to Prince Harry. I'm curious to see what's going to happen when she exits the show, she ties together a good chunk of the plot.

I'm just finishing up a second monitor run of The Punisher. It's actually pretty good! I think it might be the most consistently good of the Marvel TV shows in fact! The central performance is absolutely fantastic and carries the entire show, and they managed to write around the most troublesome elements of the character by having him
A. Fight a PMC rather than street criminals, making him less of a right-wing fantasy and
B. The central performance making it clear that Frank is completely out of his mind and in incredibly intense mental agony at all times.
He's not "I'm sad about my family so I look sad as I do cool things", he's irreparably broken and no one would ever want to be him. He doesn't ever seem to have the slightest enjoyment of the killing he does, it's just an awful, hateful reflex that causes him to bellow in despair.
The strangest thing about it is that there's honestly no fight scene anywhere near as compelling as his fights in Daredevil, it's much more character driven. Then again I'm on the last episode and it looks like he's going to throw down.
Also the co-lead is one of the best female characters in a Marvel show so far, maybe better than Jessica Jones because she isn't anchored on a generally weak performance.
Like the big villains in this show suffer horribly at Frank's hands and for me there's no element of "Yeah! get 'em Frank!". You honestly want him to stop and Bernthal successfully plays it as though he really can't. The part of his brain that could stop no longer lights up on an MRI.
So I thought that the first TPB Out of the Park season was pretty mediocre but OotP: USA is really funny! I still think they're Flanderizing Ricky a bit but they kiiiiinda dial it back and just make him more of a risk-taker.
The big thing that made this season work for me was largely removing Mayhue as a character. Keeping the "accomplish this task" aspect but just focusing on the boys and less on the Swearnet involvement was the way to go.

I see that the listed writers work on Jane The Virgin. Should that make me nervous or more confident?
jane the virgin owns
I demand it.
Wait. What show are we talking about again?
No that's not a pun.
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
It's easier to create drama without cell phones.

I just finished binge watching season one, and I got to say this has been one of the most engrossing tv shows in recent memory for me.
I am now 100% a fan. Started s2 and its just as gonzo! I'm loving it.
edit: the trailer
Also a different episode from the new season:
Swery is good and pure

Can be combative.
Has anyone in the thread seen it? Worth a watch?
I'm mostly interested in lady mary crawley playing a wild west tough.
It is very slow though
And I dunno if the rest of the show picks up on the last focus but that first episode was probably 2/3 dude focused

I dipped after fifteen minutes because the dialogue was interminably dull
Also for a show billed as being about a "town with no men," it sure was all about two dude-ass dudes
Bojack is on there too!
granted that's largely because of how punk everyone was, but still
that episode really felt like a backdoor pilot
Well, I mean, that is my retirement plan.
Remember when Paul Scheer & Jason Mantzoukas were on the Chris Gethard Show last year, and it was the best episode of television of the year?
They are returning to the show this week for the final episode of the year
Bummer, I like that guy
