Banter RDT CXCII - TDDS

[DanWCE]

Reading all of your WFH stories gives me the shits I juggle 4 roles with no overlap and when one of my kids goes down sick I lose a day because work is so anti WFH. Still can't get my head around why they wouldn't want to set me up to maintain productivity when I need to be physically present when one of the kids is crook (which means just wants to colour in, sleep or watch TV)

But obviously if you want to go through the classics, watch LOST before Breaking Bad.

Started rewatching Mr Robot yesterday, that's a show that never ended up getting the recognition it deserved. Had a lot of buzz S1 that died away quickly, but the show was great the whole way through.

Here's the IMDB ratings for every episode.

Only one episode in the entire series drops below 8 (and anyone who's seen it will know exactly which episode it was too)

Ozymandias the only perfect ten.

Ozymandias the only perfect ten.

Of anything too.

Suprised that Bojack is 3rd all time too as much as I love that show + episode.

Pretty much on par with most series.

Starts out great, than fizzles out.

I guess it much easier to write the beginning of a story with interesting ideas than it is to write a satisfying ending.

I think it stays strong almost the whole way through, the only weak spot is the start of the second season where a lot of people dropped off.

Nah, Bojack is a pretty clever, well thought out show. Doesn't surprise at all.

There was a Bluey episode that for quite a while had a score of 10, but after it was publicised, it was smashed by trolls who had an issue with an episode of a kids show being so highly rated.

Was that the cricket one?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: democracy simply doesn’t work.

Those neckbeards showed all them toddlers what's what. Hope they learnt their lesson.

Oh yeah, agree with Mr Robot.
Haven't seen it since the initial watch, but remember the second season being the weakest.

The final Darlene/Dom scene is

Anyone watched The Perfect Neighbour on Netflix? I seem to be drawn to these horrible but can't look away storylines at the moment.

I tried to give crime podcasts a go but trusted Reddit and ended up following the wrong recommendation to the most effed up story. Had to see it through though, despite there not really being any closure at the finish line

 

[Mr Q]

Was that the cricket one?

No, it was the episode "Sleepytime".

There was another episode "Rain" that had a score of 9.8/9.9 or the like.

I have not. But I have been watching the recent Ed Gein version of Monster and it's pushing the limits of what I can handle.

I do love the show too, but still surprising if it's third of all time.

Without clicking the link, is the episode 'The View From Halfway Down?' If so, that stuck with me for ages and I still occasionally think about it. The perfect penultimate episode.

I have not. But I have been watching the recent Ed Gein version of Monster and it's pushing the limits of what I can handle.

Is that the same anthology series that they made Jeffrey Dahmer one about?

 

[txbyhull]

The look of shock on my face when reading that top 50 and seeing an episode from Ben 10: Omniverse of all things

 

[Forward Press]

To go on about Bojack Horseman again - Free Churro is one hell of an episode and I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet, but I have never seen anything like it in animated format. It's only rated the third best episode for the show, too - Time's Arrow (the second rated after The View From Halfway Down) is even better according to IMDB.

It's probably slipped from the public eye now that it's been over for five years, but I think it leaves a distinct legacy as to what an animated TV show with talking animals can be capable of. Wish I could wipe my memory just to watch it for the first time again.

I vividly remember having heard about it and just thought it was just some crappy animated show about anthro animals. Boy howdy. Watched the entire show start to finish in Year 12 in the midst of exam prep, for about 3 weeks I spent every waking moment of my free-time watching it.

Echo your sentiment fully and implore anyone that hasn't seen it to watch it

Yeah same series - though I haven't watched the Dahmer season, only the Menedez one - so no idea how gruesome the first one is.

I've heard similar. It's on my watchlist but I probably need to watch a few comedies before diving into another difficult watch

 

[happy_eagle]

Was it ever confirmed that the character of Bojack was based off the late Bob Saget ?

Good to see a couple Person of Interest episodes up there.

Underrated show, would have been more highly regarded if it were on HBO/Cable TV in the US as opposed to CBS.
