Cannot wait to see what he does next.

Believe we established this (and by extension him) does not exist so ‘not much’ is the answer

Fuck I forgot about Atlanta

Oh well, I’m sure plenty of others will include it

Don’t think many of these need expanding on. They’re mainly ordered by how much I want to rewatch them, which I frequently do, aside from stuff like This is England which is think is incredible but also too traumatic to revisit.

Comrade Detective is absolutely joyous and tragically overlooked. The West Wing obviously has very bad politics but it was very compelling when I watched it and is perfectly crafted and performed.

James Gandolfini puts in the single greatest acting performance of all time in any medium IMO

Preach. I can’t think of a single moment where it feels like Tony does something false or out of character, it’s so perfectly tonally consistent and yet has so much evolution and depth as well. I love that man.

people living through times of intense social change, are often completely oblivious or indifferent to it and it’s only the fact that we, as viewers, are watching with the benefit of hindsight that adds the layer of subtext to everything

Love this

Such a fucking loss.

University Challenge is the best quiz show of all time. No gimmicks, no banter, no asides, no complicated rules or extra rounds or any other nonsense. Just non-stop trivia.

Think my ideal quiz show would literally just be a host asking questions directly at a team for 30 minutes while I try to beat them at home. UC is as close as that gets for now.

JaguarPirate · 2019-10-08T11:53:07.065Z

Have you seen Enough Said? JG and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, dream pairing

pervo · 2019-10-08T11:53:22.449Z

The gimmick is making each question a paragraph long. Absolutely horrible quizzing.

Fucking hate Only Connect. Truly loathe it.

It’s very good actually. The questions start off very broad which allows you to make educated guesses and become progressively more detailed as you hone in on the answer. It’s very fair and makes for good competition, balancing broad knowledge, speed, and mental deduction.

1. Curb Your Enthusiasm

I love Larry David so fucking much. Seinfeld is probably my favourite show of the last century, Curb is probably my favourite of this. I think my sense of what is and isn’t funny is so aligned with his and finding stuff funny in the absolute minutiae of existence is probably also what draws me to this community frankly. The structure of the episodes is always completely mind-blowing but it’s those pointless little exchanges about why grape juice isn’t more prevalent or whatever that make the show for me. The way he’s kept it fresh by just revolving an incredible supporting cast around to find what makes for the funniest dynamic in the moment is so good. Yeah, I love it and I love him.

Completely bizarre coincidence. This just appeared on my Twitter feed and I have absolutely gobbled up a ticket:
