Or him subleasing his apartment from Paul Reiser's character in Mad About You?

I think the obvious one off the top of my head is Columbo being absolutely massive in Romania.

The original Mobile Suit Gundam from 1979 had a huge following among women, and didn't have the male traction you would think until the model kits were produced.

Your profile needs a warning.
Full of insinuating "write my post for me" type questions with zero answers to questions NOBODY is asking. What a nightmare. What a drain.

Imagine that, actions have consequences.

You won't get answers, I felt the same way than you but you have to change the mindset that the show isn't about getting answers but how the people live and cope with what happened.

The books series is basically set up to make the TV series in an anthology format. Each book focuses on the romance of a new Bridgerton sibling with the others just playing small supporting roles, making cameo appearances, or no appearance at all.

It is a typical romance book series format which does not tend to gel with serialised TV shows where folks expect the same cast for the duration of the series. Which is why folks are shocked the leads from previous seasons are not returning for later seasons. Their stories are done.

I actually read the book afterwards so maybe that painted my experience differently than if I had already read it (although generally I don't care much if an adaptation changes things from the source material, I get that you actually have to adapt it to a different medium, and there's always the benefit of hindsight too, especially if the original author is involved like with both SE and TLOU). But Jeevan and Kirsten reuniting after all those years really got me. Spoilers for the book, which I definitely still recommend, but >!they don't get that moment at the end of the story, they separate the way the do in the show and the book catches up with Jeevan later on but it's almost completely removed from what's happening with Kirsten.!< I suppose you can argue there's more convenient serendipity in the way the show handles it but the point of that story is human connection and I really think they landed the plane perfectly (no pun intended).

BTW I also recommend the most recent novel by that author, Sea of Tranquility. Something happens halfway through that book that literally made me restart it to get the new context, I never do that while reading a novel.

Funny. When religious groups used to successfully boycott things they found sacrilegious or amoral, I don’t remember the word cancelled ever being used.

Same thing with The Red Scare. That’s how a country that supposedly has separation of church and state has “In God we trust” as our official national motto.

The show has actually improved after the downslide but not back to its previous quality and that seems gone now. He’s not getting great guests either. He’s pretty mad at the woke stuff but not because it’s wrong but he thinks it’s what’s causing people to not like dems. (Tbf this isn’t a particularly an unpopular opinion). More like he bitches that it’s their platform not that it’s wrong. But he just won’t shut up about jt. He makes a reasonable point than drags out too long. A lot of bitching at “young people” too (although not all misdirected). If anything he’s more open about having libertarian style ideas.

Anyways. Down from before, better than pandemic.

Well that sucks. I honestly don't love the community the show has spawned but I feel like the writing is just fine and occasionally really good. It's cool to not like something but I hate when people make definitive statements like that.

You’re surprised actors are attractive?

Season 10/ reboot of Roseanne/ The Conners completely retconning all of season 9 in the first episode was solid.

I'd also add "Watch at least one other episode before San Junipero."

I think SJ is Charlie Brooker's masterpiece, but I think you need a feel for Black Mirror's usual tone to have a sense of what a radical departure it was, and because the cute little trick at the end will work way better then.

And Seven when he just disappeared lol

Makeup exists

Glee was supposed to be for adults.

They changed the tone of the show in S2 once they discovered their audience was mostly tweens.

What, really? They are patronising for spelling out the truth? No, really. You can say that netflix is cancelling 'good' shows. But they certainly aren't cancelling 'successful' shows. Note that success depends not only on the number of viewers, bug also the budget. The viewership needs to justify the budget.

I'm not saying they're entirely correct on this, as many shows require a few seasons to garner significant viewership, and also ending shows that ended in cliffhangers is also poor decisionmaking

David Burton, and man does that character offer more across subsequent watches. Bill Camp is one of those "that guy" actors that just always delivers, and The Leftovers gave him stellar material to work with. I particularly love him in the S2 finale where he's pointing out how ridiculous it is that Kevin feels the task--singing--is beneath him, having done what he did already in International Assassin.

Yup

I guess you had the books to compare it to, which might've been a benefit (that's rarely ever the case lol), but iirc I found Station Eleven to be overcrammed and inconsistent (but still good).

I can't remember specifics (I'm sure I posted a review on it here somewhere), but by the end the series just didn't leave the impact I thought it would when I was watching earlier episodes, and that's because the series went so many places and did things I thought were just lacklustre amongst other well done parts.

Okay so earlier Ruby Stokes left her role in Bridgerton to star in Lockwood and co - a netflix adaptation of books by Jonathan Stroud.

And Phoebe Dynevor will also be playing the lead role in another of Stroud's adaptations - The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne (movie)

Is your username the Sundowner song?

Absolutely. It’s one of the greatest shows ever done. S2 is generally regarded as the weakest but press on.

My mistake didn’t even realize was same person

they'll continue making stories for background characters if their character wants to stay, like the featheringtons
