It isn't Sam's mother that says that, it's Sam himself. The show was comparing Allan's situation with the Auschwitz (proxy the holocaust). Sam wanted a Jewish therapist because was under the impression that Jews are naturally better therapist (think Freud), it's a stereotype that he's completely taking seriously, to Sam Allan is an inhuman plaything, a pet, it's the show's way of painting him as a Nazi-like figure.

Overall average show, neither amazing nor terrible.

Found it a little too predictable, the big reveals were somewhat obvious for anyone paying attention.

Also found the 'gimmick' somewhat irrelevant, I semi-obsessed over optimum viewing order prior to watching but having now watched it I am of the opinion that it would have hardly mattered.

Each episode was so sanitised and prepped to be able to watch it any order that it somewhat hindered each individual episode.

Overall, cut the nonsense make it a flashback / flash forward heist movie of 2 hours and I'd have given it 6/10.

Let's imagine you work as an assistant to Robach, and now you gotta do all this extra work, that isn't in your job description, for Holmes because of their triste.

See how that can become a problem really quickly?

Fraternizing can affect other people in the business in a really negative way, and that isn't fair to them.

Depends on the company, many discourage fraternizing and you gotta report it to HR.

Unless you're at Dunder Mifflin, then it's fair game.

There was a big survey and something like 80% of people play on their phones rather than paying attention to show.

​

Shows can't have subtly anymore because they know the audience will miss it and complain.

​

Imagine a scene where a couple is having an argument. Instead of the wife replying with a look that the director knows will be missed by 80%, she now has to ham fistedly declare that's she's upset.

​

Look at how lambasted the witcher was because no one could bother to pay attention and instead blamed the showrunners.

What were you looking for? I've never seen this happen.

> South Park clearly makes fun of racism by parodying it

Does it now

It has a lot of good original dramas. I've basically watched them all and I would continue. Better be a second season of the undeclared war.

Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes. The fact he never received or was nominated for an Emmy was a crime in-and-of-itself.

Creating 'Fauda'

> Raz and Issacharoff, Jerusalemites whose families both originally came from Arab countries, have been friends since they were 16 and were both in the elite unite, called the Duvdevan, which is featured in the series.

> They had joined the reserves of the unit, working in the West Bank, when they came up with the idea of Fauda. By then Issacharoff was already a top journalist and Raz a jobbing actor. “Avi asked me if I had a dream and I told him I wanted to write something about the people we were then with, about the mental price they were all paying, the price everybody surrounding them was paying,” says Raz. “We both wanted to talk about the Palestinian side too because knowing who they are is just as important.”

> Finding someone willing to make the show was a struggle. Israelis live with the conflict; when they watch the television they prefer light entertainment. Raz and Issacharoff got a lot of no’s.

> “We managed to find someone to help us pitch to the production company Yes,” recalls Issacharoff. “There was one guy and three women in the room. He was enthusiastic, the women seemed less so. They said, ‘This show won’t be watched by women.’ But they still took it on, it became the success it became, and when they did research into the viewers, they found more women were watching the show than men.

> “We don’t know the exact reasons for the success but I think a big part of it is the authenticity. We took stories from real life, from our lives, and we put them in the story. Every episode of Fauda, every character, you will find something that is real. And sometimes we almost predict things; in our third season we wrote about our team being exposed while they were working in the Gaza Strip. As we were writing it, there was a real team of undercover soldiers that were exposed – so we were having this strange dialogue with reality.

Future of 'Fauda'

> Because the show has become such an international success – with India making the first local version – Raz and Issacharoff have a very international outlook. Their company, Faraway Road Productions, is planning to team up with creatives from across Arab nations to create more work that crosses borders...

> There are also plans for a show set in London and, of course, more Fauda. “We are talking very seriously about making a Fauda movie and we are very open to more seasons,” says Raz. “This has all been a brilliant adventure and we are not sure when it will end.”

I would say yes. Still a good show except for the last season (which got ridiculously soapy).

While i havent watched i think its becuase they would understand some issue better by knowing the religion.

I’m not sure in the show but it is a common trope that the best doctors are Jewish.

Yawn. This is just try guys V2 or maybe Adam Levine v2

There are very few Tom Hardy performances that are bad. Even Venom isn't as bad as it could be because of Hardy.

Personally, I think Bronson is still his best performance. Taboo was an absolutely phenomenal show, though.

What about when your main audience are cheaters getting ready for cheating?

When does she say that? I have no memory of that.

Yeah that aspect of it is very much like dexter. It's really well done in the show. The father daughter relationship especially is touching yet it's so disturbing on the same time. And in a way he's doing things that are even more wrong than Dexter

The Netflix way.

Yeah I have only watched two episodes, and it's caught me off guard when they have jumped into some super detailed gory scenes. I have to look away. It's funny because I'm perfectly fine with gory violent movies, but something about a realistic surgery makes me queasy

Sorry, the NFC and AFC championships for the NFL are tomorrow. The later game might not end until an hour or and hour and a half after the episode airs.

Spartacus was a bit before middle ages but I get ya. Battle of the Bastards for me probably

All i care about is they be long enough to go to the bathroom, load up on snacks and grab a beer. But not so long i have to watch much.

I dunno; Alfie Solomons is a fantastically great character. You get the vibe that they just let him roll with it and some of it may be more or less improvised.

The suppressed rage of James Delaney is something else though. Great series.
