  1. I definitely agree some of the criticisms being voiced in here are legitimate and valid (even if some are kinda nit-picky), yet I still find myself enjoying the show despite all its flaws.
  2. I feel like I'm the only one still enjoying myself haha
  3. Legit can't watch any videos on FX its so dumb. Like what's the damn point, its just a trailer ugh
  4. What a complete waste of my time this was, 7 hours of running around to still never get an answer as to WHY they're running in the first fucking place.
  5. I'm glad they finally told us why Allie was so sought after by the FBI, I nearly lost it when the maid interrupted Allie when he was about to tell his family what he did.
  6. With its semi-interesting plot, thats kind of all its got going tbh.
  7. Seems there were two shot and two run over by the train, just let it roll right before the credits and you'll see Aunt Lydia and the first handmaid who was shot.
  8. Coached? being made aware when people are saying racist stuff about you is completely different from being coached. Smash did not feel discriminated because, he was too ignorant to recognise when he was being discriminated against. I think most people are trying to pretend like this show didn't completely fuck up its depictions of racism in its first season, they were arguably pretty bad and yet I seem to only find words of praise for it lol. The same issue with when he fought that guy who insulted his sister, I found Coach Taylor and all his other staff members (in a way) all complicit in Smash losing his scholarship. Not only did he not stand up for Smash but he had the audacity to stand up for Mac and publicly announce that he was not going to fire him. I burst out laughing, that man has racial biases he needs to address.
  9. What was complicated about Mac's racist comments?
  10. Thank you, you perfectly explained every problem I had with the shows racial themes. I absolutely detested how they turned the focus from being about Mac and his racist remarks and pinned it all on that other team they played and then gave Mac an easy redemption arc that never addressed his biases and his racism. Voodoo was by far my biggest frustration with the show. This kid along with his parents just lost everything and decides to use his abilities to his advantage (which he has every right considering how exploitive the NFL and NCAA can be) and Taylor writes him off as being arrogant and leech-y. This in my opinion is one of many reasons why I can never understand how season 1 is so highly regarded as a masterpiece with this sort of conservative and anti-black rhetoric they had going on. I was however happy with the way they handled it in Season 3, it wasn't perfect but "The Lights in Carroll Park" challenged viewers to recognise the racial biases and ignorant statements guys like Buddy and Coach have been saying since the first season. Hats off to whoever wrote that. FYI: I just finished this show a few days ago so my memory is still fresh.
  11. Deadwood movie was NOT GOOD. I felt like I'd watched a recap for an entire season in 2 hours.
