"Bitchard" on both Jin Yang's and Monica's phones was good.

they managed to make Russ likable and Richard detestable
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Tuesday, 3 December 2019 19:36 (four years ago) link
Richard has been unlikable or worse for several seasons now
― Vinnie, Wednesday, 4 December 2019 14:40 (four years ago) link
Richard's relatable when he's trying to accomplish a great thing, or takes on an ethical stance that's relatable, but as a person... he's Bitchard and always has been. He's just been juxtaposed with worse people in most conflicts!

I kinda got whiplash from him turning down a billion dollars from the evil Chilean guy and then being relatively untroubled by Russ blackmailing the California DA on his behalf

funniest scene this season is still jared meeting his birth parents
― na (NA), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 15:25 (four years ago) link
this season has plenty of laughs so I'm not really complaining, a whole season at Russfest would have been great
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 15:27 (four years ago) link
Yeah if anything I wish they had gone further with Russfest; I thought they'd end up taking it further in the Fyre Festival direction. The commercial for it in the previous episode was maybe my favorite moment this season. Show is still pretty funny but I'm ready for it to end

found this part way too over the top myself

Nah, Jared's backstory has always been super over the top and dark, so I thought it worked.

Yeah but I could imagine the writer's room where they go back and forth adding more and more layers of sadness/darkness to the situation and it just got a bit TOO silly imo.

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
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 17:34 (four years ago) link
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

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

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.)
