  1. I really like the show but have to second the not very good part. For me at least, every scene with her lessens the overall show. I mean she is really bad. Glaringly, noticeable, scene destroyingly bad. If this was low budget scifi it would be one thing, but everyone else is totally fine.....
  2. I wouldn’t be surprised if Babe Neuworth is leaving. She really seems like someone who’s more theater than tv. 3 years is a good un, I can see her wanting something different.
  3. I will keep watching the show because it's light and frothy, but it really is unrealistic. I actually thought the amount they were paid seemed low for what they do. Trials take a lot of time. Lawyers generally bill by the hour. I know not everyone on bulls team is a lawyer, but some are. The types of lawyers they generally talk about having on this show, from big NYC law firms bill close to or in excess of 1000 an hour. 250k or even 500k is not that much money given those rates. 3 senior people, 165 hours basically. Most NY lawyers bill like at least 180 hours a month
  4. He mentioned actually that he specializes in penis impotence/dysfunction I think.
  5. She won't be next to go-she has now positioned herself as the swing vote and built trust with all 4 remaining. Alan clearly is gunning for one of JP and whatshername. They think Alan is an unstable loose canon. Its seems pretty clear to me that its likely to be the 2 pairs with her as a swing.

  7. I love this show!! It's all my favorite things all rolled into one! Cheesy apocalypse porn! Deadly infections that turn people crazy! Murderous heroes! Bad guys that are secretly demons! Myths come to life! Road trip! This is awesome. I will enjoy the hell out of this for as long as they let me.
  8. I liked it. Honestly this is what I was hoping for when Fear the walking dead started. I'm interested in the reaction of the authorities and the CDC to a lethal outbreak like this in a longer form than a 2 hour movie. I like that there are some regular civilians in the mix too. It's a good blend so far of civilians and non civilians. For a pilot episode I thought it did a decent job of introducing things. It also helps that I've liked Claudia black since Farscape.

    I am so sad that I can't bring myself to like this show. I keep hanging in there due to moments I like, but seriously Richie has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Can the show next season be refocused around Lester, the guy in the mailroom who actually appears to be finding a new sound (not that I was thrilled with his sadsack persona until just now) and I suppose the wife so long as she is living at the Chelsea. Richie is just an asshole and on top of the character being written as an asshole its being overacted to death. This is a great era and hte people involved are so good. why is this not better.
  10. So, am I the only person who thinks the roan character was brought in as a new love interest for Clark? Maybe I'm way off base, but the reluctant captor thing they had going on plus the becoming allies? It just screams new love interest to me. In light of that, what they are doing with Bellamy makes sense to me. He needs to be anti grounder first off to set up conflict with he and Clark and also to tarnish him to the audience. I mean I think it's terribly cliche, but they have now set up Clark, Lexa and roan as like power trio. So to have a good love triangle you need to get rid of the other options.
  11. I'm almost 50 but I don't think this show is overtly sexual any more than other stuff I watch. The premise is about a woman pretending to be 20 something in Manhattan. Frankly I'd be more surprised if it was less overtly sexual. Perhaps I've been jaded by pay channel shows and the Internet, but this is on in the evening and Liza is dating a guy in his 20s. Seems pretty normal to me given the lifestyles being presented here to have this much sexual content. I do agree though that I'm not a fan of what they are doing with Diana. She is being portrayed as more and more desperate and more and more shrill. A woman who has gotten to her position would not be acting this childishy, even if the feelings they are attempting to portray were accurate. There could have been a really nice examination through the contrast with Diana and Liza about getting older in a professional urban environment that could have been really compelling done well. But they've reduced it to caricatures of the desperate older woman. It's a shame really.
  12. This episode was worse than the pilot. The acting is generally terrible except for boss lady, tech girl, black agent basically, although that might in part be the writing. The lines they give lead agent are generally terrible and he appears to be making them all SERIOUS! I thought this episode was barely entertaining and I mostly was ok with the pilot. Not a good sign that this was less entertaining. Huh it wasn't quite over. The lead is really bad. Cringeworthy. Like I can't believe this is network television bad.
  13. I tried. I like historical (Rome, Vikings etc), I like fantasy (game of thrones), watch violence, gore and sex no problem. I even like A Knights Tale, campy pseudo history. I could not bring myself to get past the first half an hour. I almost always watch with captioning due to shitty sound on my tv, so it's not even the accents. Although the captioning was bad too, I swear it skipped whole bits of dialogue. This was a hot mess. A boring hot mess. And I like extended world building stuff, so it wasn't that there wasn't enough plot. It was just dumb half the time. The sheepfucker joke went on wayyyy to long, I got it the first time and didn't needed it repeated 6 different ways. I'm not sure why I'm supposed to care if the baron is constipated, unless that's why he's such a lousy lay? I had high hopes for this show too. I watched more as it felt unfair to only give it 30 minutes. More sheepfucker jokes. And bad acting, particularly the rebels and the sheep lover. Although the guy trying to get main character to meet with other rebels isn't bad (and looks familiar). And how did the messenger get back to the baron, and the baron and entourage ride out and beat the rebels to the village? That makes no sense. The soundtrack is too loud. It's intrusive. This is excruciatingly awful. I give up at 1 hour and 6 minutes
  14. I agree, the case of the week isn't necessarily the draw, it's the characters interactions around that. Enjoyed Lucien taking the role he did and how he's Super competently just getting stuff done. I'm not sure we got to know the temporary deputy enough to miss him or have much opinion one way or the other. Although I do feel another deputy in the office would be good for the cast, with branch gone plus the (I assume) increase police presence needed due to the new casino opening, 3 of them will be hard put to cover everything. I have to assume Cassino should bring people and money to town and increased police budget. Or at least it would in the real world? Is it just me or does there seem to be a real change in the music? I don't remember this show having music over scenes like it seems to now? Is it new or was I not paying attention? Whatever it is, I like the song choices and think work well.
  15. Agree with seamusk, the spoilers aren't cool. I'm just watching one at a time then coming to read. Way to apparently spoil not only a specific resolution of something but also a season long arc/general sense of how things go. That said, I too was super surprised how quickly it all unraveled. Wonder if was in part for budget reasons, Gerald McRaney perhaps expensive and a 3 episode arc this season would surely be cheaper than season long. Also wonder if they learned lesson about dragging stuff out after last season. So far I'm enjoying this Netflix season. The episodes seem a bit longer which leaves some room I think for character stuff which in prior seasons would have been an extra posted or cut after first showing. I like seeing Henry do the Hector thing too.
