Kinda sucks about Revolution. I didn't watch it, but since they moved production to Texas, many friends and acquaintances had found work as crew and extras/stand ins on the show.

Arnett was kind of a dull straight man in Up All Night and Running Wilde too. maybe it's just hard to get a starring role where you get to be a weirdo like GOB or Devon Banks but it seems like he's just ignoring his strong suits.

black book is incredibly campy but also just sorta plain bad.

the first time we saw a commercial for Black Box, my wife waited until the final lingering shot on the lead actress's face and turned to me and said "I bet you a million dollars her box isn't black"
I don't think anything on the show can ever live up to that

I tried that In The Flesh and fecking Ricky Tomlinson is in there, aaarrrrgh! It isn't in the same league as Orphan Black on a scale of parsecs.

Flipping channels and saw this new show in syndication, Manhattan. Olivia Williams is in it with a terrible American accent. Got the whole Mad Men thing going, set around scientists working on the nuclear bomb. I'm just surprised this exists.

I forgot that was beginning tonight. Was it good enough to seek out?

it's from WGN right? that's the weirdest thing
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Monday, 28 July 2014 04:12 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, it's on WGN. I heard somewhere it may have started on FX originally. It actually looks okay, lead actor's pretty good, but I'm not gonna kid myself - I'm too lazy to keep up with this. Also, I'm not fond of Mad Men and it's got that period vibe.

Is it Mad Men inspired or following that BBC WWII trend "Bomb Girls" "Bletchey Circle" etc.
― Now you're messing with a (President Keyes), Monday, 28 July 2014 13:23 (nine years ago) link
Wasn't aware of that trend, but I'm gonna go with Mad Men since it features a bunch of angsty self-important '40s dudes with harried, disgruntled wives
Bletchley Circle sounds like a period Women's Murder Club
