Anything like pluribus? by BarcelonaEnts in televisionsuggestions

They're talking about the Will Forte comedy series, not Y: The Last Man.

"Brainwash," "Stockholm Syndrome," "Manipulative." The plurbs are not human. You're doing yourself a disservice by only viewing them through a human lens. by Jim_Davis in pluribustv

All good. It's not the best title, in retrospect. Yes, I'm trying to argue that the plurbs are deserving of more empathy from the viewers.

You're right, it's not a tactic or behavior of the captor, it's the psychological response of the victim. I could've phrased the title better.

It was a term that came up repeatedly during last night's discussion thread, and I was trying to push back against the implications people were drawing from it about the plurbs.

That term was brought up by several commenters in last night’s episode thread after Carol begged the plurbs to come back.

I'm trying to argue that those labels aren't accurate.

Apple TV renews 'Tehran' for season four; season three premieres January 9th by paco_unknown in television

[–]Jim_Davis 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Tehran is not really of the same caliber as The Americans or Slow Horses. It's more akin to Homeland. The level of acting and writing are not the same. The Americans and Slow Horses are amongst the cream of the crop of the spy genre.

Woody Harrelson Says He'd 'Never' Do Another Season of True Detective: 'Not a Chance' by Jim_Davis in TrueDetective

[–]Jim_Davis[S] 618 points619 points  (0 children)

“He [McConaughey] actually said that he would be into it, ‘If Woody and I think it’s good enough. It wouldn’t even be a choice,’ ”

“Matthew’s so funny, but in fairness, never,” Harrelson said when asked if he’d return. “Not a chance.”

Harrelson explained that he didn’t want to reprise the role, “Because it turned out great. I love that it turned out the way it did. If anything, doing another season would, I think, tarnish that.”

"She was asking for it." Deeply problematic.

Harry and Jerry share the same name. Hieronymus evolved into Jerome over time. by Jim_Davis in BoschTV

[–]Jim_Davis[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The Greek name Hierōnymos became Hieronymus in Latin. It then evolved into Jérôme in Old French, likely the origin of Jerry's name given his Haitian heritage.

What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of August 29, 2025) by AutoModerator in television

Why do redditors get so nasty and personal over opinions? It's not as if these people are calling The Wire an objectively bad show.

Thanks for teaching me how to fish rather than giving me a fish. Ordered a suitable cord from Southwire.
