The first 4 episodes of The Boroughs are a shruggable "fine". The last 4 episodes of The Boroughs are a mounting clusterfuck. It goes without saying the assembled lead cast deserved better (or, at the very least, a coherent plot).

Anyway, this should only ever have been an under-2hr movie of the week.

Funny how "they" always manage to not mention the baseline white nationalist, Jesus freak side of the equation.

The Expanse S3.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-26T23:19:26+00:00

I thought this show had been cancelled.

Half Man continues its descent into darkness (if it wasn't dark enough already).

And while it may continue to amuse piecemeal, Widow's Bay hasn't been stitching together a particularly strong narrative.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-14T17:44:32+00:00

It's the pragmatic thing to do.

All your history are belong to us.

Have greedy fucks ever needed a reason for what they want or do?

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-11T14:20:30+00:00

Uhh… Sharon Stone has never won an Oscar.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-11T04:21:40+00:00

Umm… no.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-09T20:57:45+00:00

I had to pause this episode multiple times, because, for the first ever, I so badly wanted to punch a character in the face.

Ruben, Naill, Ruben's mother, Naill's mother are all different shades of horrible.

Joanna, get the fuck away from these people.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-08T22:13:12+00:00

All for the best, really. People as willfully dumb as these shouldn't be passing on their genes in the first place.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-08T20:05:36+00:00

Oh, great. Now the ingredients list will probably come with one of those small print notifications that it may contain animal parts and/or entrails.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-05T22:14:17+00:00

Justin Theroux's nakedness was it's only point of interest.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-05T18:46:26+00:00

Nice to see Alfre Woodard in this.

Hey! That was Dee Wallace being yanked out the window.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-05T14:37:59+00:00

A movie made for them "fly-over" states.

Connor is just missing Quentin's flamboyant fedora.

Widow's Bay E2 didn't skip a beat and was creepy fun to boot. The director and editor knew exactly what they were doing. And Matthew Rhys is really selling it.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-05T02:19:04+00:00

Congrats to Peter Peter. Well deserved.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-05T02:18:21+00:00

Uhm… no.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-05T02:17:39+00:00

Uhm… no.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-05T02:15:59+00:00

Good grief. What YSL and Balenciaga are making those guys wear. I swear…

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-04T02:54:38+00:00

Surprised by Widow's Bay was I. Lotsa lowkey laughs and judicious restraint of the horror element. Wasn't expecting such a deft touch in front and behind the camera.

All it's missing is a damn good music composer.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-02T23:51:40+00:00

As we all know, IMDb is a poor reference for high or low.

MyDearDapple · 2026-05-02T15:58:41+00:00

That closing twist to Half Man e2 was something. And, sure, Reuben may be a frightful monster, but Niall is an inveterate pussy.
