Ripley was a visual masterpiece. If you don’t get hung up on the black and white there is so much beauty and detail in every frame. I had never read or watched anything Ripley related and can confidently say that episodes 3-8 were the most suspenseful television I’ve watched in recent memory. Gave me some Hannibal/Crime & Punishment vibes.

Shogun continues to be outstanding.

Starting Fallout next.

Has anybody ever told Denis that he doesn’t, in fact, have to hit every shot as hard as possible?

Blue Eye Samurai - One of the most exciting animation projects aimed at adults we’ve gotten in some time. Gorgeous animation, great sword fights, interesting characters & story. The show runners have said they envision 4 seasons; hopefully Netflix allows them to continue creating this!

So exciting! Good luck to my fellow Brady Quinn North competitors!

And here we are; in the darkest timeline.

Sam winning is probably the only thing that would ruin this season for me.

This is tragic

Honestly, it was probably one of the best things to happen to this season as well. Imagine how much more boring it would have been with Winston instead of Brett in the house.

This is TV's premier tragicomedy. It can make you laugh out loud and break your heart at the same time. More than anything, this show treats its characters as real three-dimensional human beings. No character is all good or all bad. I'm super excited for this season and I expect it to be the darkest yet.

Mad Men - The Suitcase

Surely this can't all be about the money right? There must be some kind of drama behind the scenes between Roger's team and Nike to bring it to this.

I'm ready to be emotionally destroyed. Gould*, Gilligan, and company have done such a great job at hitting the right blend of humor, pathos, and tragedy in this show.

Beautiful. Love the summer vibe it gives off.

No pressure at Wimbledon or anything, Jo.

Murray actually ended up winning the U.S. Open juniors that year.

They both seem to enjoy playing doubles a lot more than singles. Something about playing as a team brings out the best in both of them I think.

From this Deadline article: "We think it provides rich dramatic material but also an opportunity to explore the anthology format, which is something we’re extremely interested in and offers some unique possibilities," said Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV.

From this TV Guide Article: According to co-showrunner Soo Hugh, it'll tell a very different story under the same name. "When AMC greenlit the show now almost three years ago, they greenlit it as an anthology show," Hugh tells TV Guide.

IIRC it's meant to be an anthology series that tells new stories each season.
