The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

Inspired me to watch this again and I always forget that this has a GOAT performance from Robert De Niro.

I was going to recommend The Shield, but then you said youā€™ve already seen it. It does make a great rewatch, though.

I think his account got suspended again, but Nick Mullen had a great tweet about Black Mirror. Something like:

Black Mirror season 1: What if a life only experienced through digital reflections of itself isnā€™t one worth living
Black Mirror season 5: Imagine if you could suck your friendā€™s dick in Street Fighter

Watched the DnD episode of Community. Is that how DnD is actually played?

Iā€™m midway through Season 2 now and not sure I would recommend this show to anyone yet. There are some really high peaks but for the most part it seems like dumb network sitcom humor.

Iā€™m actually ok with this. Hopefully itā€™ll give him some more time to put together a solid season and not the garbage that was last season.

I mentioned this last week, but Iā€™m just starting my first run-through. On S3E3 and Iā€™m loving the ride so far.

The train comes to a screeching halt pretty soon.

If you donā€™t like it yet, you probably wonā€™t, although youā€™re the first person Iā€™ve ever heard describe it as ā€œdumb network sitcom humor.ā€

This is about The Shield? I donā€™t follow.

Yeah LOL. Community is at worst explicitly making fun of dumb sitcom humor. But to each their own perception.

Everyone is entitled to their own (wrong) opinion. How else would cinema snobs have anyone to dunk on??

No, Black Mirror. 3.3 is about the end of the ride iirc.

I probably misread the convo.

EDIT: yup lol at me

I try not to dunk on you too much

Lol at you being a cinema snob. True arrogance is available only for those willing to denounce Scorsese.

I really enjoyed the short lived tv series for it as well, essentially another cop/genius buddy series but still fun to watch.

I donā€™t get the Seinfeld special hate. This is what Jerry Seinfeld does. He makes social observations that everyone can relate to. Heā€™s always done this. That one critic that was disappointed that we werenā€™t let into Jerryā€™s inner world obviously has no idea what Seinfeldā€™s humor is. Seinfeld is a slightly meaner Jay Leno. Expecting him to be anything other than that is on the viewer, not Seinfeld. He hasnā€™t changed in 40 years.
