Oh baby, you're in for a ride. Not only does the series never really let up, no series I've seen has such a strong final season. They fucking crush that shit.

Haha, right? You could throw a dart at a board full of Salamancas and any hit would be correct

First saw Mae in "Thief" because I was a huge Frank Pembleton fan and at that time I would have followed Andre Braugher anywhere. Great to see her still doing the thing!

What about Roxy Richter from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World? I liked her in that movie.

Season two intro for White Lotus is a banger

Actually, according to healthline.com, the signs of “psychopathy” are:

1. Inability to distinguish between right and wrong

2. Lack of empathy and remorse

3. Behavior that conflicts with social norms

4. Manipulating and hurting others

5. Disregard for safety and responsibility

6. Disregarding or violating the rights of others

7. Tendency to lie often

8. Recurring problems with the law

9. Expressing anger and arrogance on a regular basis

House pretty much was and did all these things at some point/regularly on the show.

To be fair to Bosom Buddies, a theme song does not have to fit exactly into a show’s plot. For example, Woke Up This Morning has nothing to do with gangsters, it’s about a domestic abuse victim killing their husband. But the lyrics are vague enough that it fits into the show amazingly well. The other song which was considered, Elvis Costello’s Complicated Shadows, mentions gangsters in it’s lyrics, but it just wouldn’t have worked IMO.

I love Cold Case, but I hate the opening.

Season 9 and the revival are pretty dogshit even if you are a massive fan, I would just skip em. If anything,the revival story episodes are even worse than the story episodes of season 9.

I’d watch it if they did make it.

I agree wholeheartedly that Black Sails was much better than it usually gets credit for.

It was great early on. Trailed off toward the end.

I’m still so annoyed at how bad the movies were. They could have done so much, yet they were like long episodes of a show, and not good.

It's Silver telling that story though....

Yeah, as others have said it really becomes the show it ends up being around episodes 5/6. The writing team is comprised of a lot of British sitcom writers so it’s kind of the same thing of how most sitcoms take a bit to find their groove.

They reshaped and expanded a lot of characters based on what the actors were bringing to them. For example, Roman is way more sadistic and cruel in the pilot than he is later in the show. He’s still a complicated person but seasons 2/3 Roman would never rip up a million dollar check in front of a Latino boy and his working class parents.

It wouldn't be the first show to unexpectedly announce the upcoming season as the final season right before it releases, claim they wrapped things up, and then have all evidence point to that being highly misleading, at the very least.

I'm really hoping that's not the case with Succession as it'd be a huge shame to have a fantastic show end like that. As others have mentioned, Jesse Armstrong has previously said this wasn't a show he wanted to go on for more than four or possibly five seasons, so it is plausible this is where he just decided to end things. I'd be lying if the whole WBD merger and the myriad of cancellations it's resulted in doesn't concern me, however.

I'll still watch it all the same and just keep my fingers crossed that we get a fantastic finale to close out the show.

Eric Cartman

It’s 10 episodes so it’s longer than season 3. Based on all the reviews, I think they mean they’re referring to the pacing and that they don’t beat around the bush kicking the story into full gear.

:( so sad, but true.

Water is hard to film apparently - and there is only 1 James Cameron - despite the best efforts of 20th Century Studios

I don’t think an expensive period piece filming on ships/water will be brought back when the industry is tightening its belt.

yeah, that was out of left field and really softened our hardest and most ruthless character imo. They had already set up a whole romance between him and Barlow - it came across as superfluous and detracted from his clear love for gold.

However, piracy in general is a great opportunity for narratives around slavery, gender, and sexual orientation as pirates notoriously didn't give a shit so long as it earned them money.

Definitely agree with your votes but Nick Cave has the arctic monkeys beat by a couple of decades lol

Arcane was a great show but had unquestionably the worst intro song of all time.

I have feelings every day

I never really got this honestly. People keep saying “oh it’s just an endless cycle of the kids rebelling against Logan and losing” but Shiv doesn’t even try to cross Logan until the season 3 finale, and Roman also spends most of the show firmly on Logan’s side. Kendall’s the only one in a cycle, but his character’s still clearly progressing in a forward direction. His breakthrough in the season 3 finale felt like a major game-changer too, unlike anything we’d seen yet.

I'd welcome anything related to that series. It did end a little rushed

i agree that Black Sails was underrated. i think they're done, though. kinda jumped the shark with the gay lover ending, i bet lots of people were turned off by that. if they brought the show back, though, i would definitely watch it. one of the best shows ever.
