What are you currently watching on TV?

Also, i have been watching that Mark Ruffalo HBO mini series. Its really well shot, its from Derek Cianfrance, but damn its so sad. Why this guy hates people so much?

The Flanderization of Moira Rose is pretty striking when you binge the whole of Schitt's Creek. Great character, but her lexicon went from "occasionally injecting a humorously incongruous 10 dollar word" to sounding like a grandiloquent time traveler.

Also, by season 5 Roland feels like a character that was originally intended to have a much larger role but the writers couldn't quite figure out how to make him fit into what the show became.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I wasn't commenting on his lack of character development, more that he seems forced into and tacked-on to the general storyline in contrast to how major his presence was in the first stretch of season 1.

[Jorge]

Okay but just so we're clear I am both a more recent viewer and also generally more of an astute observer than you so I am right

[Jorge]

That just felt like a very David Rose thing to say

Still have all of s6 to go. I'm going to miss it

[VinylGuy]

Ok, im a huge fan of Dave.

Cannot recommend The Great highly enough.

Everything about it is wonderful. The performances across the board, the costumes, the art direction, the writing, set decoration, cinematography, the framing, pacing, the humor, the drama, the gore... all of it works in concert to make one of the best seasons of TV I've seen over the last few years.

Thanks, doug, for pushing for me to watch it. I was mildly interested after I saw a commercial for it but I wasn't sure. It could have easily been terrible, I thought. But that was just a pure joy to watch. There isn't a single bad episode.

[VinylGuy]

I might watch it.

Right now, its all Dave. Its just wonderful.

You've mentioned it before. I didn't look it up because if I remember correctly you weren't too into the first episode. I have no idea what this show is. I'll do some research on it and see if it's something I want to pick up.

[VinylGuy]

First ep is the worst of the bunch. Its ok, its fun but the series its just wonderful, the best thing out there for sure. Brilliant.

[epilogue]

Right on. Where are you watching it?

[VinylGuy]

I download it. From torrent. Buts on fxx i think?
