I loved this show, but it was really weakened by the lead actor, dude was duller than cardboard. But this is what made me an Ian McShane fan, dude was a FORCE.

Who ever decided to put The Knick on Cinemax deserves a kick in the nuts.

Evil is pretty bad in this regard. Long runs of episodes which one or more of the three main "investigators" perceive bizarre supernatural hallucinations/visions which they just...shrug off and don't tell the other two about. Which kinda defeats the whole point of being a 3-person investigative team that combines different areas of expertise.

I heard a rumor quite a while ago that Madden wasn't actually the real lead (no idea about Priyanka) and there was some sort of major twist related to that. Can you enlighten us on that one?

I think they were in production for at least thirteen months (if not more) which sounds extremely excessive.

You know it is weird …and I am likely much older…but it is hard for me to contemplate people not knowing the basics of Perry Mason

But then I couldn’t name a single song by Rihanna so it cuts both ways

“It hurts to miss that one”

The Sopranos is number 1 for me... some of my other favourites, like game of thrones, breaking bad, the wire, sons of anarchy, boardwalk empire... all great, but what separates sopranos for me is although there's a lot of serious moments, it's absolutely hilarious, no other show has made me laugh out loud as much, and even when I go back and watch it again its still brilliant and it balances out all the seriousness, yes there's humour in the other shows, but it ain't comparable to me

Life and Death is the best song

did you enjoy The Constant?

I thought season 1 showed that were was something extremely meaty to work with and I was afraid it was going to get cancelled. Good thing HBO saw it too and instead of pulling the plug theybdecided on giving it a second chance

LOST is an interesting show in that the people who don’t like it turn incredibly bitter and rude in these threads

Like calm down, it’s a freaking TV show. Let others enjoy it lol

That was such a great part of LOST

hell yes

please update this thread as you watch

I took a survey about Citadel back in 2020 (The NDA was 2 years) holy shit I am surprised it is still in production, it was... uhhh... not the highest quality plot outline I read

I think that was a very big issue in season 1 (specifically the first 4 or 5 episodes before we're consistently in Whitestone) but season 2 has handled it much better (though not perfect). Most of the humor in season 2 has been bouncing characters off each other outside of a few quick instances

Well I think he does a great job. Keeps the pace, and obviously knows the material most of the time. Reddit be damned.

Seinfeld also threw away the trope of having the characters learn some type of “lesson” in the episode or even show any type of sentimentality or seriousness. It constantly parodied those types of family sitcom tropes.
