Parks and Rec

I am torn by The Leftovers. To me it has many of the Lindelof list of sins. It's a good show but insists upon itself. This episode, to me, feels like Lindelof showing off without caring much whether or not it serves the story or its characters. All three seasons of The Leftovers had three episodes I didn't like. This is one of them. I hated the three final episodes from season 2. Careful plotting and character building go out the window to bend characters out of shape to have a batshit crazy ending. Nora acting stupid when she is far from it. Characters not making phone calls and a long list of plot devices. I hated Assassin because it feels that it's weird just for weirdness sake and many plot devices were written without an endgame in mind (like Lost did), writting yourself into a corner, if you will.

I have no problem with weird shows and episodes. I love Mr. Robot and I feel the weird season two episodes work within the universe of the show. Not for The Leftovers. To me is Lindelof showing off. Again, this is a guy we know well bungles his writing for having no endgame for many of the things he writes. This is the guy behind Lost and Prometheus... a movie that clearly had characters acting dumb, introducing mysterious things without knowing what it all added up to and adding mythos that didn't need to be added and changing lore that didn't need to be changed. Watchmen is amazing but I think it has to do that the source material is batshit crazy to begin with.

The office and its not close .

I never could get into the office, but Parks and Rec is one of my all time favs.

The Office US

Parks and rec.

Only 7 sitcoms have been #1 in the annual Nielsens two or more times: All in the Family (5 times), The Cosby Show (5), I Love Lucy (4), The Beverly Hillbillies (2), Laverne & Shirley (2), Seinfeld (2), and The Big Bang Theory (2).

Someone lied to her because she's not

Chernobyl is the gold standard, HBO is loaded. Band of Brothers, Watchmen, Sharp Objects

It's a fun and simple comedy. A gem that many people think is better than Ted Lasso.

That's what I feel with Trying, a comedy also by Apple, which has already been renewed for season 4, and I think it's sad that few people watch it. Lucky to be at Apple.

I personally didn't pick those kind of vibes up at all. Still really good though.

Avatar: The Last Airbender, 3 seasons, but they're 25-min episodes, so effectively the same as only 1.5 seasons of a normal TV show.

Also, Watchmen on HBO. One season, no plans to continue.

Band of Brothers is an oldie but definitely a goodie.

Rome season 1 is a fantastic bit of TV. Season 2 is decent, but honestly a bit of a letdown, and season 1 is a fully self-contained storyline that you can just pretend has a tragic ending.

I enjoyed it overall.

The cast was good, and I think the story had promise until it started to unravel. After a few episodes you weren't really sure what was happening.

The first few episodes of Spartacus are pretty bad, but then there's a weird change where suddenly you realise you're actually emotionally invested and the quality of the show radically improves.

It truly is a show where you could see them taking a few episodes to figure out how to write, direct and do the visuals of the show.

I really liked the first 4 episodes. Made me realize how much I missed fun episodic content.

Incredible show. So underrated.

Its such a shame, Tuca and Bertie was such a great show. At least it ended with the characters in a mostly good place.

Great! I was hoping season 2 wasn’t the end of it.

She's like Columbo if he took down blue collar criminals instead the usual rich white collar assholes.

The Leftovers as well, of which Patrick Somerville (creator of Station Eleven) was a writer.

I want a second season of Medical Police. There I said it.

During lockdowns, he stop dying his hair, which he'd been doing since he was quite young.

PoI first season is good. This would be true for shows like Black Sails, Parks and Rec, The Office
