Uhhh what? You don't have to like the Sopranos ending, but they literally stopped making it and ended it. How did that lack "balls?" Hell, they went a route that pissed a lot of people off, feels "balzier" than Walter getting to play hero at the end.

The claim to fame is the insane level of nuance to all of the characters that they really let develop over the seasons through ebbs and flows beyond just "every season higher stakes and more action packed than the last."

And the once in a generation performances.

I wouldn't even say it's to the "next level." Walter White isn't some tony Soprano upgrade.

Estimation*

Lol I just started reading the series based on his comments

Reddit just collectively decided she’s the person to hate right now despite her most recent two shows being fairly popular around here

Yeah but that was played for chaotic and comic effect, not eroticism

Or to watch her do some weird investigation thing, and why on Earth would she be in South Asia at a White Lotus doing such an investigation?

> and likely following Portia as she unravels Tanya'a death.

Wait what? Where did he say this? He mentioned that the truth would likely come out about her death, but nothing this specific.

I mean, White Lotus isn't really known for those. S2 had them, but that was the theme of that specific season.

That said, yes.

I'd like to see a return to something meaningfully recognizable as satire. I just don't think the show is actually smart or focused enough to say things about topics as big as sexuality and human nature. The whole "sexy murder mystery" thing is the sort of stuff that lights Twitter on fire and generates buzz but ultimately nothing about S2 is especially memorable.

EDIT: Ah shit you said "who." Let's go for more Sopranos alum, Edie Falco.

What content would you like to see here? Without a doubt bots run the sub, but I prefer discussion bots to ad bots

As opposed to what? Another article saying “HoTD star says season 2 will probably be good!”

Time for "my favorite show X isn't on the list/is ranked below show Y, what a piece of shit list."

Oh good, I was worried for a second

It's a self reinforcing cycle. Stupid step sibling themed stuff dominates the market, so that's where the top tier performers end up working, so more people end up watching step sibling stuff because while they aren't interested in the theme/kink it's the thing the porn sites are putting in front of them at the most marketable moment.

The trainer is the dad

She talks about how she has this hot trainer with blonde hair and blue eyes who she spends more time with than her husband to cope with his cheating. Then she shows Harper a photo. The photo is of her son, who has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Does that do it for you?

Jaw dropping twist? It was like, the second most common theory being bandied about. Also, it's not much of a "twist" if there aren't serious emotional stakes to it. We have one gay man who's sex life is really of no concern to any of the main characters, and a man having sex with him whose only interest is being a character's sexy fling.

Dry ice and activated charcoal in cocktails have been linked to deaths. It's less "I'm afraid this will kill me right this second" and more "this is a dangerous trend in the industry and I won't be supporting it."

If it makes you feel any better it is also deeply cringey from the perspective of craft bartenders.

No way. Like I get she wasn't the best part of the show, but that was after the show's peak and Reagan was an awful arc. Even of you don't like Zooey Descahnel, her chemistry with Schmidt and Nick is a big part of the show.

Coach moved to Chicago to live with some other white people

This novel fucking haunts me. The movie was good too, not entirely sure about a TV shoe as a structure but I’m game to give it a go

I feel like if you try really hard you can see how rust fits the criticism
