13 Reasons Why might be the worst show ever created. My gf has been watching this and it's just awful in every way

The casting of "Tony" was the absolute worst piece of casting I think I have ever seen.

And, hey, Clay...

LISTEN TO THE FUCKING TAPES!!

Been watching Shameless lately... Heard good things, and so far its living up to the hype. Great comedy, and surprisingly good drama & acting. Great writing all around.

So weird. I literally picked this show back up after missing it for years. I used to have showtime, and had watched through S4. I started S5 up tonight.

I'm having a difficult time saying anything positive about it but I only saw the last 2 episodes and the whole thing is cringeworthy. It basically normalizes teen suicide as a normal response to r*pe and then acts as a slow moving depression fantasy where everyone's mind is changed after you kill yourself.

Add to the fact that there it's very slow moving to the point where it feels artificially padded and add in some bad acting and its just the worst.

Yup. It struck me as a sales pitch for kids to kill themselves. Nothing is your fault in your life. Anything rough in your life is someone else's fault, and if you kill yourself, everyone will realize how bad they have wronged you.

Has anyone watched either Travelers or Black Mirror? Both look interesting and Black Mirror looks like it has a Twilight Zone vibe.

The phrase “Fast and Furious” appears FIVE times in that tweet. There are a total of 43 words in that tweet. “Fast and Furious” accounts for 1/3 of the total words.

Not necessarily wrong, it just really jumped out to me...

This seems like a smart way to sell toys.

Thats why Pixar keeps making Cars movies, right?
