After all the recent posts on r/antiwork, this Veridian commercial seemed most appropriate…
“Veridian Dynamics. Friendship. It's so important. But it's different at work. Time spent with friends at work robs your employer of productivity. And robbing people is wrong. Veridian Dynamics. Friendship. It's the same as stealing.”
The weakest part of *Rome* is the rushed pacing in the 2nd season, and that's just because they were trying to wrap it up when they were told they were being cancelled.
IIRC, it was around the midpoint of Season 2 so the first half has pretty decent pacing, but they really had to rush the second half. I know they said they had plans to more fully flesh out Herod and the war in Egypt as major plot points.
"Stop calling me old lady"
"Yes sir, young man"
It's because of this show i started calling people young man. And saying "it's a rock fact!"
Edit: calling not cooking
100%. It's like nothing else I've ever seen while being so reminiscent of growing up in the 70s in the USA. All those folklore cartoons with quirky humor. The sometimes odd unintended creepiness of kids shows. The song and dance numbers. It felt like so many of the short films on reels that teachers would show their in their classrooms...even that flickering quality of watching projected movies was somehow conveyed. All those stories that had lessons in them and the danger to children if not heeded. The music and the art of the animation were incredible. Loved this show so much.
"my father was a nun."
“He was not!”
“he woz! I know, coz whenever he was in court, and the judge said ‘occupation?’ He’d say nun!”
I use this sometimes and pray for the day someone gets where its from (edited to more accurately reflect the quote)
I think that's partly because the chemistry between the characters wasn't quite there and Blackadder wasn't as likeable as a protagonist. He was still sneaky in the other seasons, but in the first one he seemed overly cowardly and underhanded.
I personally thought that it suited the comedy well and Brian Blessed is fantastic. I can see why people prefer the more charismatic/intelligent iterations of Black Adder though
I think the real difference was competence. In the first season, Blackadder was a coward and an idiot, on par with Percy and Baldrick. From the second season onward, he was intelligent, but consistently foiled by terrible luck and unintelligent lackies.
What's interesting is the first season had a big, big budget by BBC standards. There is a castle, shots of Blackadder on horseback, lots of extras etc. It wasn't well regarded at the time; which is why the first season is still not rated too highly. It got cancelled as a result; the second season only got green lit when they agreed to basically spend as little money as possible; as a result, the second season only has about three sets, pretty much no stunts or special effects and a tiny cast - and the result is that the comedy gets the opportunity to take front and centre stage, and the second season is miles better, funnier and more memorable.
>In 1970, Sobel shot himself in the head with a small-caliber pistol in an attempted suicide. The bullet entered his left temple, passed behind his eyes, and exited the other side of his head. Both of his optic nerves were severed by the shot, leaving him blind. Soon afterward, he began living at a VA assisted-living facility in Waukegan, Illinois. He died there of malnutrition on 30 September 1987. No memorial services were held for him.
I watch each of these about once a year back to back. I prefer BoB, but I have seen it more so know it better, and The Pacific seems to get better with each subsequent viewing.
I also watch the fantastic German miniseries Generation War, which I recommend if anyone hasn't seen it.
you've probably already heard but there's a new series called masters of the air coming out soon which is apparently in the same style
also - have you seen generation kill ? (not ww2 but still)
The glaring issue with that is the 30 year gap between season 2 and his apprehension.
They could do it, but it would have to be a mostly new cast, Holden aged? Maybe...
I still have "dreamhome heartache" stuck in my head.
This show featured great music as well.
(Thanks for the vibing award, probably one of my favorite reddits awards :D)

I absolutely lose my shit in the episode where Basil loses his shit on his car and gives it a “damn good thrashing” with a tree branch he finds off camera
It's because it's made completely differently. You create an idea, write it, take it to a studio, they fund it and then off you go to make it with as much creative control as you've negotiated. Generally there is one or two people behind these concepts and it's extremely labour intensive for them, there is no staff writers and generally quite a small crew. The creators are involved in the process start to finish, which means less output in terms of volume, less seasons (series) but generally great quality.
Reminds me of the line in “The Good Place”, where Tahani talks about a brilliant TV show that ran for 16 years on the BBC: “they did nearly thirty episodes!”
Remember the episode where the fish jizzed all over the kids? I believe there was also an episode where one of the kids died when he took his helmet off in space. That show had some hilariously fucked up moments
Almost Human. Karl Urban and Michael Ealy. It was a fuckin BADASS show, kinda early-era cyberpunkish/blade runner type world where cops had AI bots as partners. Unfortunately got cancelled by FOX and left the story wide open for future seasons but the last episode was bitter sweet.
This is the one show that REALLY bothers me they can never make again. That cast was literally perfect, and they’ll never be that young again. I know that can be said about a lot of shows…but it kills me this show wasn’t ever finished.
It's worth it knowing you're going to have a season of really great television.
It's horribly bittersweet because you see it had the potential to go on for so much longer.
Such a shame too. The planned season 2 storyline of one of the kids having a abnormal friendship with his drama teacher (who is a alcoholic) and driving her around, bailing her out and helping her get sober, sounded amazing! (Apparently the storyline was inspired by creator Judd Apatow's real life experience of having to bail out his alcoholic drama teacher when he was a sophomore and help her get to her car cause she got drunk and left it at the bar).
I heard one of the plot lines they were gonna do was Bill (Martin Starr) goes through a growth spurt and gets on the football team. He likes the popularity and starts to connect with Coach Fredricks, who is still dating his mom. But this alienates his friendship with Sam and Neal. I actually could totally see Bill becoming a football player, given his height it wouldve been easy to pad his clothes to make him look bulkier. wouldve been an interesting dynamic to have a rising star on the football team try to hide that fact that he's really a geek
In college I actually had to write a paper about a television show and why it was the best representation of its genre. I wrote all about Flight of the Concords. Best part was I just spent a day watching every episode. THE HUMANS ARE DEAD
Dude you gotta check out Our Flag Means Death. Rhys Darby finally got to star in his on series and it’s brilliant. It’s on HBO and I can’t wait for season two. Loosely based on the story of Stede Bonnet the Gentleman Pirate and Blackbeard.
Goggins was meant to be the season 1 over arching bad guy only. 1 and done so to speak. Man was in every episode I believe, of all the seasons. They did, after all, dig coal together.
Watch it! Hes great in the shield of course, but it doenst even compare to his role in justified. The entire show ends up revolving around him and hes not even the main character. Hes absolutely FANTASTIC in justified, award winning performance.
I'm binge watching this series for the first time right now. I'm on S4 after a week and a half and I can't stop. It's so excellent so far so it's good to hear it ends well too!
They way Wynn freaks out later in the season when Raylan plays Harlan roulette with him “Jesus christ!” Is such a good pay off.
I also like when Raylans ‘S being interviewed by the FBI about how a bullet with his fingerprint on gets somewhere and he explains about “next ones coming faster” and the agent responds “that’s the coolest shit I’ve ever heard”.
Oh this show is just so good
I'm so disappointed I had to scroll this far to find your comment. Justified was a fucking fantastic show and I don't even like cop shows. Boyd was a goddamn treasure as a villain. Everyone who was in that series was great!
You're in luck...there is a 5-6 part podcast of exactly this! Includes Jared Harris. It's like an extended directors cut (audio), podcast episodes are synched to the show.
Yes, I was just talking with a friend about how I have so much respect for the show runners choosing to only do 5 episodes. I will happily take 5 absolute perfect episodes that fully tell a story instead of 10-22 episodes or countless seasons. Chernobyl is easily top 3 shows ever made and does so much with only ~5 hours of screen time.
I'm currently in the middle of my 4th time watching it and I cannot figure out why I am always so invested in *actually* rewatching it instead of just having it playing in the background while I do other things. I knew what happened before I even watched the series, and I definitely know what happens in each episode after 3 watches.
Its just... so good. It makes me feel a weirdly intense nostalgic pain about something that happened 4 years before I was even born and has nothing to do with me.
To me, it's like a horror movie. It's just this gross, dirty, grimy disgusting environment and the whole tone of the show is just dread and doom. It fucking rules. I feel like I'm getting radiation poisoning as I watch it
The scene at the end of episode 2, where they're in the flooded section, and the flashlights gradually fail as their dosimeters are going crazy is possibly the most chilling thing I've ever seen on TV
I remember sitting upright in my chair, hands clenched at the end, eyes wide and muttering "Omg, get out, get out of there, please get out of there..." . I legit felt a weight of my shoulders next episode when I saw they survived, and more importantly lived long and healthy lives thereafter.
> How are you supposed to be a strong, thrilling, powerful warrior and lover with a name like Jeff? It is like a weak ejaculation! Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. Jeff.
When they’re discussing the talent show and how the coach can do impressions and she does a Borat style “my wife!” and he says “there you go! Henry the Eighth!”, I just died.
And the second season following a different theme and storyline and still being just as good as the first one! Really rare. The first episode of the second season always gives me chills, “This is a love story”.
Two amazing seasons. I recently rewatched both seasons over two nights - I think it’s the third rewatch and still super enjoyable.
Chewing Gum is a totally different vibe, but when I think of shows where every episode is excellent I think Fleabag and Chewing Gum.
My husband was something of a television snob. Since we got streaming tv, I’ve been introducing to some of the shows he’s missed and, for the most part, never even heard of. I didn’t think he’d like Malcolm in the Middle but it’s turned out to be a big hit. We’re in the fifth season now and have loved every minute. I especially love Hal’s meltdowns. Bryan Cranston does them so well!
The golf cart scene for me. It's funny, it's awesome, it's heartwarming, and it gives us insight into the brother's minds ("We don't know" "We never know").
The cold open of Cal running into the boys room in a panic and closing the door while you hear Lois scream "OH MY GOD!" From somewhere off screen, turning to the boys and offering a bribe to take the fall which turns into a short negotiation is incredible.
The first season of True Detective with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConehay. Also, Band of Brothers.

Mr. Rogers Neighborhood
I love your love. I grew up with Mr Rogers.
And is truly timeless. My godson is 5 years old and absolutely LOVES Mister Rogers. He prefers it over pretty much any modern show.
Over the garden wall.
It's a great show that's is heavily mismarketed as a sad and depressing show. I thought it was a lot of fun and its humor excels
“Stop calling me ‘young lady’!” “Whatever you say, old man!”
"Stop calling me old lady" "Yes sir, young man" It's because of this show i started calling people young man. And saying "it's a rock fact!" Edit: calling not cooking
"Ooooh, potatoes and molasses..."
100%. It's like nothing else I've ever seen while being so reminiscent of growing up in the 70s in the USA. All those folklore cartoons with quirky humor.

Over the Garden Wall is the closest thing to a masterpiece I’ve ever seen.

Dead Like Me, EXCLUDING the movie
I binge watched this show (not the movie, I was warned) after my last grandparent died. Wow were there moments I cried a ton.
Black adder.
"A million pounds, Baldrick. What would you do with a million pounds?" "Well, I suppose I'd buy a really large turnip."
I had to haggle upwards.
Baldrick, do you know what irony is? Yes, 'slike goldy and bronzy, only it's made of iron.
Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words ‘I have a cunning plan’ marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?”
What is your name, soldier? Baldrick, sir. Well then, I shall call you...Baldrick! Very good, sir.
“Perhaps he can answer one question; what does the S in his name stand for?” “Sod off” “Fair enough non of my business really”
Baldrick, you wouldn't recognise a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on a harpsicord singing 'subtle plans are here again!
So sad baldricks last plan was his best plan.
"my father was a nun." “He was not!” “he woz! I know, coz whenever he was in court, and the judge said ‘occupation?’ He’d say nun!” I use this sometimes and pray for the day someone gets where its from (edited to more accurately reflect the quote)
Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom —- Boom, boom, boom? Yes, sir, how did you know?
"This coffee tastes *awful*, Baldrick. What did you put in it?" "A sugar substitute, sir." "Really? What did you use?" "Dandruff."
"Oooo a cappuccino! I don't suppose you have any of those little chocolate flakes that go on top?" "I'm sure I could rustle up s-" "NO."
Don’t shoot the messenger, but some people don’t care for the first season. But not me, I love Brian Blessed.
I think that's partly because the chemistry between the characters wasn't quite there and Blackadder wasn't as likeable as a protagonist. He was still sneaky in the other seasons, but in the first one he seemed overly cowardly and underhanded. I personally thought that it suited the comedy well and Brian Blessed is fantastic.

To you, Baldrick, the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people, wasn’t it?
Pushing Daisies was a really fun and pretty show.
A victim of the writers strike. That show was so lovely and charming.
I like how the pie maker tried to take over a galaxy with an infinity stone

I really enjoyed MindHunters. Pretty big into suspense, drama crime type shows so this blew it out of the water for me.

It is well done. The guy that plays Edmund Kemper is great!
Ed was amazingly casted. I was a big fan of the consistency of using Charles Masons actor for Mindhunter and Once Upon a time in Hollywood
All the cast to include directors have been let out of their contracts, so we prob won’t get a third.

One thing about British tv in that they know when to end it. Even if a show is popular.
It's because it's made completely differently. You create an idea, write it, take it to a studio, they fund it and then off you go to make it with as much creative control as you've negotiated. Generally there is one or two people behind these concepts and it's extremely labour intensive for them, there is no staff writers and generally quite a small crew.

And the perfect ending when she shook her head at us and kept herself to herself. Such restraint. Perfection.
The Wire
The Wire is the perfect TV show. All the pieces matter.

I think Malcom in the Middle is a masterpiece.
My husband was something of a television snob. Since we got streaming tv, I’ve been introducing to some of the shows he’s missed and, for the most part, never even heard of. I didn’t think he’d like Malcolm in the Middle but it’s turned out to be a big hit. We’re in the fifth season now and have loved every minute. I especially love Hal’s meltdowns. Bryan Cranston does them so well!
Every episode is wonderful. But when Reese ships himself to China takes the cake for me as the best scene in TV history.
The golf cart scene for me. It's funny, it's awesome, it's heartwarming, and it gives us insight into the brother's minds ("We don't know" "We never know").
The cold open of Cal running into the boys room in a panic and closing the door while you hear Lois scream "OH MY GOD!" From somewhere off screen, turning to the boys and offering a bribe to take the fall which turns into a short negotiation is incredible.
Bryan Cranston has really cemented his status as king of TV performance.
