I dunno, I kinda found myself rooting for the terrorist hackers trying to burn down society.
[TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread
- Thread starter Frank
- Start date
I made it through 2 episodes of Girls and bailed for the same reason.
The voice of reason in always Sunny is supposed to be the viewer. It's funny because you know they're terrible.
I think some shows come off better in small doses. I knew the plot and certain episodes, so when Comedy Central starting running blocks of Always Sunny... I figured I'd catch up. After a week of watching daily, I couldn't take it anymore. The horribleness was too much.
But I also had a similar problem with Arrested Development. I knew everything about the show even though I didn't watch it when it aired. A few years ago my friend suggested we binge the entire first season one weekend because my husband had never seen it. He ended up hating it, and so did I. I guess horrible people can be funny, but you really need a breather and a week in between.

Sometimes the show creator is trying to make a point, and other times it's about wanting a chance to watch people who have it worse off than they do. And then there's Bojack Horseman (which I still need to see).

Hey, El Norte is an absolutely fantastic film, but you don't walk away from it grinning ear to ear (...and if you do then there is something seriously wrong with you).

I think this year's season finale actually put it best.
Archer (who is not okay and really shouldn't be in the field) basically tells them all to go fuck themselves, because all of them were using his presence to justify their own shitty behaviors and to ignore that he actually had a point (especially about Lana, her boyfriend, and what she did with AJ). That's AFTER he found out that Lana didn't tell AJ he was her father.
Onto Season 2 of my big Boy Meets World rewatch with the introduction of Mr. Turner, the cool teacher ("Feeny with an earing"). And oh god, the mullet. THE MULLET. Even 90s Superman sees this and thinks, "Whoa, too much mullet, man."
Oof.
That was my first thought too. "Oh my god. It's Afghan Balki !"
Yeah, me too. That was painful.
This story got wild. The soldier who's story this is (a Korean American by the why, not guy whitey shoot good) who met the kid who was his interpreter years later in Phoenix when he was an adult and working as a taxi driver had been shopping this script among many around. He's known they ripped him off wholesale since 2019.
Most of the interpreters promised amnesty in America were abandoned to die btw.
BIG EDIT - He's black, not Korean, I just saw the name Park and that he wasn't white and assumed like dipshit.
Anyways, here's his story.

The real sin is season 4 would have wrapped it up. Season 3 was the only ending with a cliffhanger, and it is clear those who stuck with the show absolutely adore it.
Starz says maybe they will do a 2 hour mobie event, but I fear that will feel rushed. The best part of the show is how it expands and takes the time it needs to tell the story.

Hopefully it will be picked up by a streaming service I already have. Having to access to Starz has meant that I've only heard about this having read and loved the book twice.
