Vulture: You’re the Worst Is Still the Best in Its Final Season
Everybody covets the ’90s rom-com version of romantic bliss. You’re the Worst suggests, with equal parts candor and sleazy absurdity, that that’s not possible, while not ruling out the possibility for achieving some sort of happiness. It does that while totally hammered, and with a middle finger lifted triumphantly to the sky.Indiewire: Season 5 Is Just a Show, Standing in Front of Its Viewers, Demanding to Be Acknowledged

Indiewire: In Season 6, ‘The Nine-Nine’ Matters More than Ever
Not everything ties back to Trump, but this choice feels carefully considered for the culture of our times. Happy endings aren’t guaranteed; injustice is still rampant. It would be easy for everyone to fall into despair, and Goor’s series recognizes as much through Holt’s initial reaction. But the joyful spirit of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is distinguishable from other sitcoms in that it even though it delivers laughs in droves, it also provides a bit of a pep talk. Viewers need to see Holt lose because they need to see Holt fight back. They need to see persistence so they can emulate it themselves. They need to see “The 99,” and NBC is giving it to them.Vox: Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the rise of the cutecom

Rolling Stones: A Return to Form, For Better And Worse
But in time, Ali’s performance is the only thing disguising how rote this all feels, and how much the series keeps repeating itself, within seasons as well as across them. There are periodic moments that pulse with life — or, at least, that feel like clichés done right. (Deadwood and NYPD Blue creator David Milch co-wrote the fourth episode with Pizzolatto, and there are several scenes where it’s easy to imagine Al Swearengen or Andy Sipowicz delivering the dialogue. In a good way.) And then there are others where it all feels like antihero-drama karaoke in an era when TV has mostly moved away from these overused tropes.Vox: True Detective season 3 shakes off the misfire of season 2 in a return to form

Variety: It’s possible to nail all the details but miss the feeling entirely.
There’s hope yet for “Black Monday,” whose first three episodes are carried across with confidence if nothing else; even when characters are delivering long and clumsily written chunks of exposition, they carry it off like tightly crafted David Mamet dialogue. But the show badly needs to crack the Mo character. We know, from the early going, that he’s a rapacious shark who needs to win every financial and conversational exchange. But there’s only so much amusement to be had reveling in bad behavior and naughty jokes. An entirely amoral trading floor, with nastily barbed banter and master schemes whose floaty insubstantiality is the point, is a fun enough place to visit. But at a season’s length, I can’t imagine wanting to live there.Showtime's take on 1980s Wall Street excess is tonally erratic and jarringly unfunny.

By Hitch Go To PostS5 of Luther is the best one since S2 imo
hope alice is actually dead
Started to this from the beginjing, pretty good show.
By Laboured Go To PostSex Education is gud.
The american school tho
By Bungie Go To PostThe american school tho
Feels a stylistic choice. Much like the fact that everyone dresses like it's the late 70's/early 80's but it's 2018.
Finally watched latest season of Always Sunny. Not particularly vintage stuff but theres some solid eps in there.
Also finished You on Netflix. What a wild show that was, crazy shit happening. Penn Badgley played it perfectly

Happy that The Good Place, B99 and You're the Worst are back again. Same for Luther of course, think I'm just gonna binch that on a rainy weekend afternoon. Also interested in Sex Education on Netflix.
By Laboured Go To PostSex Education is gud.
Legit thought you meant the BBC comedy
2 and half episodes in and I am actually enjoying Titans. Won't say that is an high quality show but I am entertained so far.
It's pretty damn brutal, didn't expect that much violence.

Started off rather well, yeah, but got progressively worse. I started losing interest 4-5 episodes into the season.
By pkaz01 Go To PostHaven't seen any of the true detective seasons? Would it be bad to start at 3?It's an anthology series where each season is a new story so you would be fine with starting at 3.

By rodeoclown Go To PostTrue Detective S1 is rad, though, so watch that, too, at some point. Skip S2.Thanks! Was kind of the plan, after hearing season 2 sucked, would've skipped the series all together but can't resist season 3 with mahershala ali
By pkaz01 Go To PostThanks! Was kind of the plan, after hearing season 2 sucked, would've skipped the series all together but can't resist season 3 with mahershala aliS1 is one of the best things I've seen in a TV Show in a long time.
First two eps of S3 True Detective are pretty decent. Got this nice feeling dread and grime rippling under the surface.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Post15 dollars a month for hbo go smh I just want it for fuking true detective and then game of thronesCan just wait til April and subscribe for GOT. Succession, The Deuce, and Barry are pretty good too
He's been looking pale and a bit ill for a while now, needs some vitamins innit. HD makes sitcoms look a bit weird to me.
By Laboured Go To PostFirst two eps of S3 True Detective are pretty decent. Got this nice feeling dread and grime rippling under the surface.Yea, decent! It's weird for them to go in such a deep and opposite direction and be extremely singular focused on Ali's character after they tried to throw so many main characters in your face in S2. It's definitely for the better, but the show is missing the charm and camaraderie of McConaughey and Woody that Dorph and Ali just don't have. It makes for a much slower and methodical beginning.
The first episode of The Grand Tour is well-served by eschewing the celebrity segment in favor of showing the bit with Hammond prepping his Challenger Demon for a drag race. Fun episode.
First Episode of Discovery season 2 was gud. Probably blew their entire budget on the SFX though lol.

Classic
By SUPER YARAK Go To PostFirst Episode of Discovery season 2 was gud. Probably blew their entire budget on the SFX though lol.You weren't kidding. Kinel.
By reilo Go To PostFirst two episodes of You're the Worst are fucking classicyeah? they kinda lost me the last two seasons, it seemed like things were going in a well earned positive direction for everbody then everything blew up and pretty much everyone became grade A asshole scumbag besides Lindsay.
By toku Go To Postyeah? they kinda lost me the last two seasons, it seemed like things were going in a well earned positive direction for everbody then everything blew up and pretty much everyone became grade A asshole scumbag besides Lindsay.And that's why it's great. I would hope a show with that title would live up to it. There's too much TV that plays it safe with character redemption(s). It's nice to have shows like YtW and It's Always Sunny that just doesn't care about that.
That's fine but we were 3 seasons deep into some great changes and character development. It felt like they hit the reset button because they didn't want to end the show early and it was pretty much the entire main/recurring cast....except Lindsay.
Those still exist. There's still some growth to the characters as they are evolving. Edgar's arc the last two seasons was great. Jimmy and Gretchen are going to be the long-haul development and they are becoming more of something resembling humans, but there's still enough comedic mess in there to make it funny.
First 3 seasons of The Expanse are coming to Prime Video worldwide next month.
Might finally watch it as I missed it when it was on Netflix over here.

By Wahabipapangus Go To Postthey fried him m8. ripWow. The government is really no better than him then
He was a kind man with a sense of humour. I mean, he was always always jumping out at you, "Whoa!" like this. Maybe he was a really misunderstood man. Maybe they'll think that 20 years ago he was just taking the piss.
