I think people love a good love story and we rarely see a good queer one. Add in the actors and setting and it’s just really great to watch. It was not the best tv ever, but it was quality.

I feel Bosch has quite a load of unique characters

If ever a show can be custom made for product placement, Booster Gold would be it.

I bet I can name more shows that had bad/slow starts that NEVER got better than you can that did.

That's probably why.

It’s told a story about characters that it just introduced in that episode. And it did it well. And it the overall theme of the game had to do with people in pairs. So it’s a ton setter.

Good lord. This reads like an 8th grader who just bought their first thesaurus

Bob's Burgers - The Plight Before Christmas (S13 E10)

Yes I’m absolutely certain based on this comment that you’d have found the episode equally dull and umaffecting if it wasn’t a gay couple

Suspend your disbelief then, buddy.

Tbh I'd kind of agree, it shouldn't go beyond 5. Most other cw shows lost their way before then

That episode where they all almost drowned would have been a good ending but I'm glad it continued. I'd like to see everyone die in the finale. They've totally earned their place in Hell. Hopefully not for many years yet though.

Eh, she comes across like a jaded teen living in a fucked up world. If anything, I think she's acting exactly like any kid would in her situation.

Teens are not subtle.

I don’t know if it’s the same show. The Green Lantern show that was in development hell was being produced by JJ Abrams. This show is produced by James Gunn.

Suspension of disbelief is a real thing.

They could've written in a unicorn that pisses refined gasoline and it would've made more sense than spending the whole time portraying "realistic survival techniques from a doomsday prepper" that don't add up at all.

It's the same problem people had in Game of Thrones in the last seasons where time didn't make any sense. A crow flies halfway across the continent and Dany comes to their rescue on dragonback overnight? If you're going to set up rules for your made up fantasy universe, you still need to follow those rules or it doesn't work.

They thought their shows would survive when ATHF, Metalocalypse, Squidbilies, The Venture Bros, Mr. Pickles, SuperJail, and others were cancelled before the merger?

On the citytv.com page itself? Can you link it? Maybe I have access too but can't find it for whatever reason.

>him being a gay character doesnt really change much

In 2002 it did.

I can't explain how happy it makes me that this Review episode made it to this thread. It's literally perfect.

Breaking Bad wasn't slow for me. The premise was interesting enough to keep me watching.

I hate slow paced shows. Reality is I've already watched too many movies and TV series in my life, a show murking around and being dull is annoying/ It's often not unique or ambitious enough to warrant the slow start. I've wasted a lot of time on shows that didn't get any more interesting after the 3rd episode.

A show being easy to watch or fast pace and interesting from the get go is a valuable quality in itself.

There are also shows where the show genuinely get significantly better after x amount of episodes.

Social media is melting people's brains. There was a post the other day of someone saying they loved the pilot of a show and if they should keep watching.

People are bored, lonely and insecure, so they look for validation on the internet.

This could have easily just been "I'm a child who doesn't get people and relationships"

A lot of people have very little free time to really "discover" tv, and some shows are pretty apparent from what they'll be from the get-go, whereas others need a few episodes to really get going. Particularly, the first season of Bojack got fairly weak reviews because only the first few episodes, where it was mostly animal puns and traditional sitcom tropes, before it showed what it was actually about.

However, not every show does that; a lot of shows early episodes are pretty indicative of what you're given for the rest. So it's pretty reasonable to ask, if you're someone with not a lot of time to spare, if a show you might be interested but aren't feeling quite yet does a Bojack and "finds its legs", or if you what see early on is exactly what you'll get for the run of the show.

John Tavner (Michael Dorman) in Patriot. Absolutely brilliant portrayal of a bumbling, burned out intelligence officer (who also fancies himself a folk singer). If anyone hasn't seen this series, yet - I'd absolutely recommend it - it's on Prime. The original Slow Horse!

Not surprising. I can't imagine people who were obsessed with the Walking Dead are having a good time with this show.
