i think one has to be able to relate/sympathize at some level otherwise the show fails with the audience. not the same with every audience.

SPOILERS EUGENE AVERT YOUR EYES

tony at some level is a family man, is hounded by problems, fears death of worse, besides being a fucking sociopath. the audience sees a dad, a husband, an abused son and brother... who is also a motherfucker. note:ALSO.

the whole ordeal with the therapist is the very point of that. she thinks she can cure him. we think he’s got a human side.

SPOILERS ENDED


that woman from fleabag i have zero empathy for. just the way she was written. seems dead inside. just a mechanism.

same thing with the family fucking guy. can’t stand anyone in it, reads to me like cynicism not satire, therefore i never watched.

Not sure how far you got into Fleabag but there are definitely bits in that where you sympathise with her and what she's going through. Now neither of us are women in mid-30s living in London. However, a few female friends I've spoken to about it have all noted how real it is. Fact is everyone is busy looking for their mate and wanting to fuck. She's an extreme form of it but that's talked about later in the first series.

I think you'd made up your mind about her early on and then decided to budge from that opinion. We all have traits that make us disliked by people and Fleabag is no different. A program barely two series old and you can see the evolution of the character already.

well yeah i made up my mind early, it’s how tv works... if one can’t stand something there are other options. it’s not supposed to be bootcamp/torture.

the first time it was just depressing and we killed it after 10 minutes, the second time we said okay watched the whole first episode and she’s such a fucking asshole. then started episode 2 and just nope.

i need this show like i need a fork in my eye.

sorry man. did not like. won’t try again.

Re-started watching Arrow again. I had only seen the first two seasons prior as I was waiting for the blu ray release of S03 at the time, and got distracted by life.

Something about a hero protecting their city w/ some mild soap opera like drama gets me every time.

[!@#$%!]

way to jump the shark guys...

Only 3 seasons though, right?

Abyway, yeah, it turned into a drag there near the end.

Started Atlanta over the weekend based on a few peeps here talking it up. about 4 episodes in and really enjoying it a lot.

Also watched a few episodes of The Act. I feel it might be a good watch, but also feel it's going to be a gut-puncher to get through.

We'll be watching it during English Language as an example of Australian English and the features of it.

Probably not a good thing that I identified with the 'emo dykes' the main character was bitching about. (Her words, not mine)

[_tunic_]

when I was in high school, the religion teacher, whenever he didn't feel like teaching which was very often would press play on the VHS cassette of his favourite movie:


Life Of Brian!

 

this is what I've been watching on tv lately. I never really liked the Big Bang Theory so much (except for maybe the first seasons), I do like this prequel spin-off

 

[choc e-Claire]

One time we had a sub teacher in Health and I just spent the whole class watching Monty Python clips on YouTube. The teacher walked past, saw what we were doing, and suggested that we watch the Ministry of Silly Walks.

And Young Sheldon is quite enjoyable, it's managed to stop with the tropes that make the original show iffy. And one of my friends looks like Sheldon's dad

[ilduclo]

Looks like Jared Kushner

[_tunic_]

sssssst. it's supposed to be a secret that would be revealed in season 4

[!@#$%!]

haaahaaaa life of brian

Wrestlemania has always been WWF/WWE, so still Vince McMahon. This was the 35th consecutive year.
