    The Monarch is the biggest hater on tv. He wanted to poop in Venture's bathroom so he would smell it later.

    the amount and quality (and often subtlety) of callbacks and self-references in Arrested Development is unmatched across all of TV for me personally

    30 Rock setting up Tracy calling himself chicken for not dissecting a frog in Mr Baby's biology class so that they could get Alan Alda's character to interject with "Crying about chicken and a baby? I thought this was a comedy show" made me laugh so hard I had to pause the show to recover

    That feat has only been matched once, by the show Extraordinary capping a very emotional mother-daughter scene with a joke about the Provisional IRA member Bobby Sands

    I have... specific tastes when it comes to humour, apparently

    I thought there was someone big I was forgetting when I posted Glomgold. Turns out there was a butterfly-shaped hole in my memory.

    Jack impersonating Tracy, Tracy's Mom, Tracy's Dad during therapy is possibly one of the hardest things I've ever laughed at

    I found it amazing that I never got tired of the bit characters showing up.

    Like, Philip Banks was a treat every single time.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    I know that most of you who can be convinced to subscribe to Dropout have already been convinced.

    And yet, I'm going to make one last ditch effort to drag some of you stragglers over the line.

    I’m not sure I know what the hell is going on but this season of Evil is just perfect

    Over 17 minutes to the title card this last episode.

    Fantastic!

    So I haven’t been looking but why is everyone review bombing Acolyte and also an older movie by the same name?

    Is it because it is too, “woke”? And by woke I mean black woman main character.

    It seems fine to me. Unless it is because they are making a Wookie wear clothes. I can get behind the hate of that.

    You got it in one.

    Although they're hiding behind "this show sucks because the first episode had fire in space and that's IMPOSSIBLE" this time.

    1) Silence 2) Books must be returned by the last date shown 3) Do not interfere with the nature of causality

    Sound and aerobatic maneuvers in space, though, that's 100% okay.

    An incredible perm.

    It wears off a couple of scenes later because her hair is magic fox hair and it doesn't want to hold the curls. I don't know much about perm pricing, but that was probably very expensive for half a day of luscious volume.

    The first 2 episodes of Acolyte are quite fun and enjoyable. Then the third happened.

    The usual brigade is indeed doing their thing though, yeah.

    The Boys S4 is also getting review bombed because they finally figured out it's making fun of them. It's tragic that I dedicated my life to the art of posting and these are the people I have to share the noble title of poster with.

    Also hilarious that they've been getting made fun of for 3 seasons and JUST NOW, after the show specifically pointed to them and said, "You, you're dumb.", that they finally realized this.

    I think it had some moments and I still love the core cast. Glad to see Moss back for more.

    The writing and child acting however were some of the worst I've seen in a while.

    Also flammable stone, but I'm hoping that's just a rashoman thing and the rocks in the cave fortress didn't actually catch on fire.

    I'm not giving up on it, I think it has promise. Just for me, ep3 was a low point right alongside Boba Fett speeder chase and every bit of Ashoka that didn't feature Ray Stevenson.

    There's an English guy who pops up every so often in a series I'm watching. Usually if that series from the 2010s.

    Maybe he's friends with someone at the production company? Maybe he's just around?

    Either way, he'll show up in a scene as a CEO, a rude Photographer, a Movie Director, a Rich Guy at a Restaurant, etc.

    Good gig.

    Just like 4 episodes into season 1.

    Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder are incredibly good together. Like, just an absurd degree of chemistry.

    And the recurring bit of Jimmy slowly losing his mind with his awful assistant is wonderful.

    Oh yeah, the cast is fantastic, especially the leads. They manage to thread the needle on the Boomer vs Zoomer premise.

    There's also a moment of triumph from Ava that season that Hannah commits to, you'll know it when you see it.

    Also, and it can’t be said enough, the show is absolutely worth sticking to for the duration

    The most recent episode/season finale is maybe my favorite and so satisfying

    this used to be the part of the show that I was least interested in, so of course they turned it into an equally fantastic part of the show just to spite me

    And with “1.69 Million”, this show has gone from really good to “one of the best things I’ve ever seen on TV.” Man, what an episode.
