I’m rarely bothered by anything I see online. Technically speaking, nothing on the internet exists, therefore it cannot be real enough to illicit an emotion from me. However, I categorically hate every AI-generated Sopranos slop video I have ever seen, and will continue to do so. Enjoy your weekend.

started watching mad men, and i thought "this is weirdly avant garde storytelling, it demands a lot from the viewer, ive no idea what's going on" and then i realised id somehow accidentally skipped the first two episodes

No one is watching mad men in the form it originally aired: with multiple commercial breaks promoting the AMC originals Rubicon and Low Winter Sun

Am I the only one who thinks this is a pretty decent list? Sopranos premiered in 1999 so its not eligible. We can quibble about the rankings, but overall a good mix of shows. I like how they even went out of their way to say that only season 1 of True Detective was good 😂
The New York Times’ final list of the 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century is now complete. What do you make of the final ranking? Which placements surprised you the most?

The worst part of tv criticism is how it often privileges mid prestige dramas (that really just want to be movies) over genres inherent to the form, like sitcoms, reality tv, talk shows, etc

Hey Sopranos fans, I am doing a poll to determine the most/least popular Sopranos characters. This data will be used in an upcoming video. If you'd like to participate, please fill out the form here: forms.gle/ofBwryLCsEQuwN4p7

I mean true, but idk about staking your pizza brand on a show that famously struggled to get ratings against one of the most popular dramas of all time
The Wire > Breaking Bad

This was the best season, it all went downhill from here
No show has a good season 5. It’s a rite of passage for it to be ass.

Lithuania would like a word with you
Imagine your state being so devoid of any culture they put up a statue of two fictional meth cook murderers. This would be like if Miami had a statue of Dexter or if New Jersey had a statue of Tony Soprano

The Wire copaganda discourse is so funny. Is the show also Drug-Dealeraganda for showing that not every single dealer was an awful person?

Season 2 is good, but it's become like "Skyler White did nothing wrong", this exaggerated meme that people use to prove how smart they are. Season 2 has structural problems and is not perfect. Season 4 managed to incorporate its themes in a more entertaining way
Season 2 of The Wire ended 23 years ago today. Probably the most underrated, overhated season of television ever. Season 2 is a litmus test. People who don’t appreciate it can’t truly understand what the show is really about.
