“You could never just do the expected, I was just an idea in a bog, But you sewed up your dream and we made quite a team, Jim and Kermit, a boy and his frog.”

Looks like an interesting mechanic. Too bad it’s windows only.

Yup it’s dumb fun. That’s it. That’s why it’s my guilty pleasure. I’m in no way a better person for having watched it and it has the depth of a shallow puddle, but I get several giggles when I watch. One thing I’d disagree with you though is Rose McIver isn’t a bad actress (she did a solid turn in iZombie and other shows) and she can charming but the character of Sam is under written I’d agree.

The US Ghosts is so stupid… and so fun. I can’t get enough of Hetty and her gilded age “I’m rich and you’re not” attitude and her love of cocaine.

I’d like to point out that from the sound of it you don’t really hate your job, you don’t really like it (for good reason) but you don’t hate the it. It sounds more likely to me what you hate is your boss and upper management, and with good reason. It’s a truism that most people don’t quit jobs they quit bosses. And frankly your bosses sounds like tools. In your case I’d suggest you stop being so down on yourself, yeah you’re struggling but that seems to be from a lack of support. In the short term try sounding out your coworkers about how you can help them at work so that you can make each others days easier. And in the long term remember your most likely only going to be at any job for about two years before you move on so get going and really check out the culture at your next job before you take it.

A Man on the Inside is much more of a character and story based comedy then Shure’s previous work. It’s a lot less joke dense then The Good Place which was in turn less dense Parks and Rec. I mean I’d expect a comedy about grief, loss, and regaining a purpose to go at a slower pace and I found it lovely and clever, but it definitely not a “Joke Factory”. Your Mileage and all that but I got through the whole series in a day because each episode was sweet and cute, not because I couldn’t stop laughing.

I really enjoyed this season every step felt earned and the twist felt obvious in hindsight. I didn’t expect it at all but that was because of didn’t expect a production to do that not because it was an ass pull or anything.

I’m just really interested in where the story goes from here. I just don’t think the c-suite guys are going to let them do a story about Eddie Redmayne hunting billionaires after the real world news.

My first with no mistakes I think.

Yeah Z Nation is a romp! I don’t what they were smoking in the writer’s room but it was crazy and fun.

I think I’d like to subscribe to your newsletter. Of the ones I’ve seen I totally agree with you:

Creature Commandos - An excellent show Very James Gunn but in my world that’s a complement. 1x03 really kicks it up a notch. GI robot is one of my new favourite characters “Oh Nazis” made me smile.

Lioness S2 - Total tripe, some of the worst writing (honestly if you told me Donald Trump had done punch up on it I’d believe you) but to be honest I’d watch Zoey and Nicole read the fucking phone book, so I’ll probably check back in if there’s a season 3.

The Diplomat - yeah good that’s about where I’d put it too. Not great but very good.

Arkane - I don’t know? it’s good but god damn it’s bleak. It’s a hard slog to watch so far. But maybe there’s hope in the end?

I only watched once and the only thing that sticks out in my memory is Remy Malik’s performance but he was amazing.

I didn’t like the shade thrown at Moon Knight, but aside from that I agree. It really highlights what a Christmas Movie Hawkeye was and one of the things Marvel does best is when it crosses superhero movies with another genre.

In all fairness to Ransom, maybe he was thinking of the spider cows from S01E01?

I’m very disappointed by the lack of ‘The Middleman’ here. A very fun show with a very spunky Natalie Morales. Based on the graphic novels by Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine, but the best part was that Javier Grillo-Marxuach was the show runner so it really didn’t lose that crazy fun factor of comic books nuttiness. Seriously rock eating aliens, zombie flying fish, boy bands trying to take over the world. It only got 12 Episodes and it’s still got 100% on rotten tomatoes and even over an 8 on IMDb.

Seriously, You got this and we got you.

Where I live the commercial TV evening news shows are completely Murdoc level conservative trash. I still watch them I guess.

One of the coolest things I’ve ever heard about Office Space is that Mike Judge had a alternate ending where when we check in at Peter at the end of the movie and his new construction boss is just another Lumburg. Which really hit home with the fact that it’s not the office jobs that sucks, all jobs suck.
