Blunt Talk

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Patrick Stewart's show on Starz. So far, I like it. He's a cable news dude who was an ex-marine that last saw action in the Falklands. Superficially charming and intelligent, but he has all kinds of chemical, psychological, and sexual hang ups. Season 1 Ep 1 starts with him picking up a transsexual hooker and kicking the shit out of the cops that arrest them. Will post more when season 1 is done.

Season 2 kicks off, and this show has already raised the first red flag: the plots and characters are getting far too involved with who's fucking whom. Walter's ex-wife is marrying Moby, his manservant has a live-in porno starlette girlfriend, two of his more sympathetic assistants are banging each other, etc. Not quite as good as the first season.

Swear to god, Shelly Tinkle in season 2 is halfway ripping off Cheryl/Carol from "Archer."

This corrupt rich dude plotline better go somewhere. Everything else is Aaron Spelling with cursing.

What in the fuck happened to this show? It was a comedy last season that has turned into a crappy, absurd drama.

Every time I see this thread, I assume we're talking about Emily Blunt, yet we never are.

So, for my benefit
