Tom Vercetti Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 rosebud and short court are my favorites from the song batch but I also don't mind peggy, noname & kali. Forgot about that gallant track. He's a little overdue for a sophomore album.

Maddox Posted December 25, 2018 Author Posted December 25, 2018 TV: #10 - #6 (sorry didn't have to write much! I already raved abt these in the Fanatics thread) 10. The Deuce – HBO The fact that This Is Us/Ozark were nominated for best ensemble at the SAG awards and not this I’m… Anyway second season was perfect! It succeeded yet again at making its large cast stay connected yet still give each of them their time to shine. Larry Brown’s transformation from a regular pimp into a charismatic actor was riveting to watch, Darlene’s hustle was inspiring, the Martino twins were tolerable, Lori and C.C.’s complicated relationship and Candy’s journey through the making of her artsy fartsy p*rn film were the highlight of the season! The only useless storyline was college-girl-turned-feminist-bartender’s random activism which at some point took a lot of space. Can we get Zoe Kazan back?? 9. My Brilliant Friend – HBO A beautiful, almost realistic story about friendship. From the performances to the cinematography, the strength of the characters. Loved it a lot! Downloaded Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels and I’m ready to dig in! 8. Kidding – Showtime Give Jim Carrey an emmy pls!!! 7. BoJack Horseman – Netflix One of the rare shows that managed to brilliantly cover the #MeToo movement with such depth while also making a hilarious critique on the current state of TV. It didn’t spend time sympathizing with its protagonist’s despicable action yet still sent a strong message about owning up to one’s mistakes. I appreciate how the show is still going strong 5 seasons in! (Which is difficult to achieve, not everybody has that to their credit lol) 6. Atlanta – FX I get wary sometimes when artists are being cocky about their work but in this case Glover absolutely earned it! Second season is indeed worth the acclaim. Watching this weekly has been a blessing since you don’t expect what type of story you’ll get. All of the characters are unique (Van was kind of wasted yet again but anyway). It’s funny, crazy, scary etc… all of that! I’m supposed to rave about the Teddy Perkins episode which was great but I felt FUBU, North of the Border, and Barbershop were more memorable.

Also i kinda almost gave up on lovelyz since the last time they released anything decent was their christmas song last year. On 12/23/2018 at 4:46 PM, ChapelHooker said: Rosebud, Feel Like a Fool, Short Court Style Sharp Objects was fantastic, probably one of Amy's best performances of her career. It wasn't really anthing groundbreaking but it was constantly engaging and thrilling tbh. Interesting to see Babylon Berlin here as a German. I heard raves about it and thats its one of the best series to ever come out of here, but the story and aesthetic doesn't really interest me to be honest. Pose was amazing. Yes, it had some flaws, especially with acting, but it was so heartfelt and beautiful. It was constatnly feeling something while watching it. Ryan's best effort to date. I haven't seen the new ACS, but I shall watch it soon. I liked the first season. I read about Flowers before and actual legend Olivia is in it, but your description sold it to me. It looked too odd for me but knowing that it deals with mental illness too made me inch rested. x Germany came through with drama this year!! i understand ppl being reluctant to start Babylon Berlin since it's like 16 episodes but once you're in, you'll end up binging it quick. You'll like Flowers. It's like 6 episodes a season, 30 mins each! Very easy to watch On 12/23/2018 at 7:28 PM, Green said: Accelerate was a grower for me. Absolutely!

Wicked Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 The best part about ATL was Tracy cause I wanna $%^&. But yeah, this season >>>. North of the Border praise!! Teddy Perkins got stale and doesn't stick like grits the same way some other eps did. But yes! All of these were awesome, sad I didn't finish MBF before starting my list but I'm halfway done with it now and it's consistently awesome. Kidding is Kidding, Jim deserves it all. The Deuce is apart of the David Simon collection so it will be snubbed continuously.... Even tho it deserves. I want to fight college girl.
Wicked Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 Songs list is nice too. Venice Bitch was a surprise.
Blue Rose Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 Young Fathers’ Toy I need to catch up on Bojack. I’ve only seen the first season which had some amazing scenes but also some boring parts.

Pink Matter Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 Charli, Saba, and Lana You're the first person I see put Saba on ANY list so sleigh ^.^ I NEED to get back into Atlanta. School just took all the motivation I had in keeping up with shows completely I think I'll also take the time this break to get into Bojack Horseman

On a second watch it didn't have the same effect compared to the other eps. Tracy was hilarious At least he got some emotions out of Earn lol. Every decision involving college girl seems so forced... realistically she would've ran out herself to her parents from the first season On 12/25/2018 at 9:42 PM, Wicked said: Songs list is nice too.

I absolutely loved his album he lowkey made Chance useless didn't he lol I wish i could experience watching BoJack for the 1st time Such a roller coaster of emotions. Atlanta S2 is waaaay superior, you're abt to feast!! Edited December 27, 2018 by Maddox
Maddox Posted December 27, 2018 Author Posted December 27, 2018 final set of songs/shows will be out on friday/saturday!
Pink Matter Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 He and Smino both re: he lowkey made Chance useless didn't he lol Chancellor can take his sabbatical for as long as he wants (especially if he's just gonna come back with more church raps )
Uncatena Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Toy, Venice Bitch so... Kidding was good? I heard very mixed things about it and i can't stan Jim Carrey, but maybe I will give it a shot. I had to stop BoJack Horseman because it got too much for me... maybe when I'm in a better place in my life but for now, it hits too hard. I can very much believe that it's still excellent though Atlanta I'm weary about starting, but it's probably the next thing i'm gonna binge. I heard that it's pretty weird and off the walls, so im interested.

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 27, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted December 27, 2018 Dial Tone is an interesting pick.. TUN is good The BoA song is cute. No Angel is a banger. Venice bitch and Golden hour are beautiful. Black Pearl is good but why choose it when we got siren?
Tom Vercetti Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Great songs batch. Dial Tone, Venice Bitch, Toy, Black Pearl, No Angel, Grey BoJack Horseman is on my wishlist of shows to watch.
