  1. colin from accounts. it's got 2 seasons (so far) on par+ and has a catastrophe/trying vibe. the two main characters are married in real life and co-created the show. i am making a suggestion, but it would be cool if this turned into a recommendation thread of not-often-talked-about shows. it's especially hard to find any good 30 min comedies these days.
  2. my feeling was that the $100k would be more as a "gift" to "suggest" silence would be the best idea. $5m definitely makes it a mutual binding agreement, even without the paperwork. once they came in with a high offer, he probably got scared that she would actually say something if he didn't pony up.
  3. he deserved to live after his hero dad raced over to him and started performing cpr like a champ until he dramatically came back to life. or he just held him and pouted until he somehow woke up on his own. i like jason isaacs a lot but very disappointed with how they handled his character most of the season.
  4. the "big twist" was that scott glenn was actually rick's dad, which was a twist that most everyone saw coming. there weren't really any other twists. after the delay getting the phones back, i kept waiting for everyone to die (except lochlan) and then for him to find out that the legal shit went away. why else wait until the boat to get them back? i understand that this is how white lotus works, and i'm sure it'll be the same in s4, but the "shocking incident + 7 days earlier card" only worked well in the first one (coffin being loaded onto a plane). this would've been a better season if you had no idea what would happen at the end. just tell your shit on a linear timeline. nothing about that opening scene ever takes someone on the fence and gets them invested.
  5. it's always been 7.
  6. it looks like police squad is only streaming on daily motion -> if you've never seen the shows, they're well worth the time.
  7. fixed. it's not about him, it's about the redhat morons. most of them would prefer to suffer economically as long as it means owning the libs. that's their one policy platform. nothing is about what 'actually happens', it's about how dems react to it. every fox news chyron is about the dem response, not the action. text chain circus? "democrats lose minds over supposed "security breach". that's how news is covered now. takeaway - "i don't know what hegseth is doing, but it's making the democrats upset so i like it."
  8. a trump bible?
  9. oh hey i got a save. our roto didn't do that i don't think.
  10. btw, i like the reds and the nlc is a tossup, but apparently everybody and their dog is betting on cincy o total wins this year, so my play was purely contra.
  11. he checks a lot of boxes. he's 27, which is the age where things tend to click for guys who haven't found it yet. he's a former top pick, so you have to assume that at some point he had a combination of natural talent, makeup, and ability (i assume he can be coached, who knows). he's also on the tigers, who had last year's cy young award winner, who rose from relative obscurity, at age 27. also he's killing it this spring. which to me means close to nothing. but rather he be killing it than getting blowed up. and for "breakout", your description seemed to match guys 25+ who haven't broken through, not some rookie who's highly touted and is just now getting his shot.
  12. man, forget vibes, this is a straight up reimagining of the player. even down to the long, continuous shot at the beginning.
  13. saxon is the shooter. the family is in the middle of...whatever is going on, so it's going to come from them. he's dealing with a bunch of shit he already knows about (the jerk) and some he doesn't know about yet (shit with his dad) and he's clearly not emotionally equipped to deal with any of it. it was also a weird turn when the chick he banged was like "my husband wants to meet you, come over" and everyone is thinking, no fucking way. then in the next scene he's like "we got invited to a dinner party!"
  14. miami over. cincy under. detroit over. angels under. schwellenbach. mize.
  15. gonna be an interesting year for drama awards, considering severance, white lotus, and the pitt (so far) should all be in the mix.
  16. pretty dumb. hey what's the website though?
  17. payment sent, but i don't know any fantasy leagues that pay up-front anymore and there's never drama at season's end, including the shaggy assholes one. we're all adults i assume.
