apparently he reads threat titles. so there's that.
Man, report back, please. That show is not at golden age TV levels, but is still consistently entertaining and of course Olyphant is perfect. Seasons 2 and 3 are excellent. 4 will likely appear online as 5 is ready to start.
Enjoy!
I have now one of those cases - which are relatively rare as far as I am concerned - where I'm genuinely baffled by the critical reception and praise a certain show got. I've been watching the first season of Six Feet Under this week and after five episodes I'm more than willing to call it quits. The characters are unlikeable in the worst way possible (annoying and not compelling), the dialogue is just unbearably corny, a lot of it goes too far on melodrama and is emotionally manipulative - in my most humble opinion.
Last night after hearing dialogue like "Thanks for buying me breakfast." "Thanks for finding my G-spot this morning.", I switched it off.
So, for you who have seen it, does it get better? Does it get clearer and do characters get more understandable in context? I have seen many shows that I wasn't a big fan of at first, but have grown to like them very much. I'm a big fan of most critically acclaimed TV dramas in the past ten years - The Wire, The Sopranos, Deadwood, Breaking Bad, The Shield etc. I know the show has a big reputation for its series finale as well, and I am intrigued by some of the themes, but the execution so far is the antithesis of what I usually like about television.
I didn't even make it past the first episode of that one.
Is anyone else watching Broadchurch? I like it so far.
Only three episodes left to my Sopranos rewatch. I really do think it's one of my favorite endings to any work of fiction ever. Maybe even tops. Where the fuck are you now, NSW?

Orange is the new Black is the new Cool. Saw the first episode and it's pretty good. Interested enough to keep watching, cautiously optimistic.
