The first one is puzzling. The second one is whatever.

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.

That was thankfully just one episode long but it fits in with the larger arc of Chris looking for ways to break into show business... and it gave us DEFILER! And more time with Hesh. I'm okay with it

I agree that it shows Christopher's irrational and desperate choices to try to break through. Love me some Cleaver :haha: also LOVE any episode / scene where there is tension between he and Paulie... see the Pine Barrens episode!

Just now watching those clips, I kinda want to watch it all over again...

Maybe after I finish Gotham.

I admit I've never seen The Sopranos. It's very possible that takes the #1 spot. But based on what I know about the show, I have a feeling it will underwhelm me. I want to be wrong about that, btw.

I would berate you for this, but I've never seen Mad Men, so...

She’s never been one that’s turned my crank. And I really wish someone had taught her how to smoke a cigarette before she was on this show.

Not a fan of how Fargo season 1 wrapped up. In fact I'd say the whole stretch from the moment Key & Peele showed up felt a little weak compared to the rest of the season.

I don’t find her to be ugly, I just don’t think she‘s smoking hot.
