lots of good stuff not getting to breathe due to needing to wrap everything up I suppose

the exchange where Holden is like "the position has been filled!" and Jared is like "no, it hasn't" was priceless though

See I would have preferred them playing with that rather than a random detour into a relentlessly sadistic Jared parents meeting scene

Good way to end the show. It's always been about failure and it makes sense they have to fail in order to succeed this last time. I liked that they searched for Bachmann but never found him, as a way to acknowledge the character without acknowledging the piece of shit actor

Yeah I was really happy with this season and that was the best ending they could've done, I think.

Late pass, but finally saw the series finale - way, way better than I anticipated it might be. I think that was the right approach and served the characters pretty well. OF COURSE Gilfoyle and Dinesh wouldn't stop working together and I lolled at the NSA response from Monica, even if I'm not sure I buy that particular career move for her character.

oh, that was already discussed (maybe itt) back when it came out. I'm quite happy to hear people talking about swinging and polyamory but the tidbit in the interview, that he dropped his need for a marriage that included swinging on his wife right after they got married, is pretty uncool seeming

Avenue 5 has Jared playing Jared in space (I barely made it through the first episode).

yeah given iannucci and the cast i'm legit shook by how bad the first ep was
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Friday, 24 January 2020 00:20 (four years ago) link
i saw the trailer for that, and i was totally unclear on what it was supposed to be -- the Fifth Element plus politics, idk -- but I did note, "It's Jared! Space Jared!"
― sarahell, Friday, 24 January 2020 03:57 (four years ago) link
the Fifth Element plus politics, idk
it's Red Dwarf with a big cast

Ah I was wondering about that new show and was considering checking it out : so it's bad ?As for the final season of SV, it was cool indeed. The final ep and "are we gonna fail at failing??" was fun and a nice way to end it.I specially liked Gavin ending as a co-writer of soft porn books.And Russfest was great indeed !
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 24 January 2020 12:34 (four years ago) link
Avenue 5 is not BAD bad, it’s just resolutely nothingy. (Which makes it atrocious by Ianucci’s standards.)
― don't care didn't ask still clappin (sic), Friday, 24 January 2020 12:47 (four years ago) link
(opinion may be revised down to properly full-on bad if the two twist revisions on the opening premise don’t resolve into a coherent new premise in ep 2)

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2019 season is nominated in the 2019 ILX TV poll:
ILX's Best Television of 2019 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends January 31
If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (4 minimum, 25 maximum, organized by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail by end of day today. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

It's finished now and was very hit & miss. A few good jokes scattered throughout but easily the worst Iannucci show I've seen by some margin.
― groovypanda, Monday, 23 March 2020 14:53 (four years ago) link
i got through three episodes; it is shockingly bad imo

Yeah I wouldn't go as far as great but the second half is well worth watching.

What does the space show have to do with Silicon Valley? Isn't it related to Veep?
Anyway, we're finally almost done with the final season of SV, and it's been pretty satisfying/funny.
