The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

the correct answer is, as always, The Shield

When I think about this show, I think a fair bit about how season 2 had an episode where Jerry lied to his co-workers about being mugged because he was so afraid of being bullied. And then over time the bullying got worse and worse and actually dangerous to his life and health. But itā€™s OK because the main cast are the Special People so they are Good no matter what they do.

Also Jerry has the largest penis I have ever seen

Already watched it, my friend!

Ok I appreciate the votes and advice. Based on ggoreo and keedā€™s advice I jumped into Succession but will do the Sopranos right after.

Iā€™m at the end of s1e3. Greg is walking through a park. If he doesnā€™t get murdered and this is the last time I ever see him Iā€™ll be disappointed. Otherwise, top notch show.

TCL TVs are so legit. Excellent quality at an unbeatable price. I had to replace an old one and impulse purchased one at Costco. The price was significantly lower than the one I was replacing, so I figured it must be smaller. Couldnā€™t remember the size of the old one for sure. Then I got home and wtf, for almost $100 less the product was 6" bigger. You canā€™t get a better deal than that anywhere but Tinder.

Lol this is totally fair and Iā€™ll be happy to apologize, but can you remember yourself at episode 3? Did you hate him with the heat of a billion suns?

Making me want to try to watch this again. I canā€™t bring myself to enjoy Sopranos, even though I watch it and think oh yeah, this is good. Definitely good. And yet.

Succession feels indulgent anytime I turn it on.

Got a TCL like a month ago definitely one of the best bang for your buck out there

I canā€™t remember but at least the first season of Sopranos I was like yeah this is good but Iā€™m not really invested in it but at some point it clicked and everything was great. Iā€™ve still only seen it once thereā€™s just so much shit out there to watch that I feel guilty watching stuff Iā€™ve already seen.

lol I remember the first few episodes of Succession when I found Greg annoying and kind of cringe before realizing heā€™s the greatest character of all time.

Excellent! Anyway I voted Sopranos but I havenā€™t watched Succession. Iā€™ll try to think of some other shows I might recommend that are available to stream. (Unfortunately, a few of my recent favorite sitcoms were on Comedy Central, and Viacom really sucks about making their shows available anywhere.)

My unpopular opinion:

Sucession is a good comedy and is funny but itā€™s not the OMG GOAT insightful roasting of the hypocrisy of conservative media scions ever. Specific conservative politics rarely crosses the narrative path. Itā€™s much more about the soulless amorality of generic inherited wealth.

Thatā€™s an unpopular opinion? Thought everyone was on board with that.

HBO Max show Love Life starring Anna Kendrick is an excellent dramedy. Smartly written and full of insight into dating and relationships. And of course Anna is as quirky and compelling as ever

Anna is one of those celebs that seem so perfect that there has to be something dark sheā€™s hiding

Her and Donald Glover.

You say that like it would make them less attractive. Secrets are gravy baby. Gravy!
