Montrose was INCREDIBLY problematic for me. I wonder if they processed the optics of his accepting his sexuality while his partner was in drag, and then rejected him the next morning in boy clothes. And I really had an issue with the fact that he murdered Yahima, Tic beat him up, and then nothing was ever said again. WTF? Although the writer has fully acknowledged that she did not treat the character of Yahima well.
Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
It will be interesting to see how he takes Tic's directive going forward. I hope he doesn't just think he has license to be shitty to Letti.
Also, I mean, they have fucking magic. They could bring Yahima back without even very much hand-wavium.
Is this where we talk about Harley Quinn? (Everyone needs to be watching Harley Quinn. It is so good.)
I mostly loved it, although I still hated how they portrayed Jim Gordon, and to a lesser extent, Babs.

It is so good! For me (maybe for nobody else) there's a clear line from The Tick to Venture Bros. to Archer to Harley Quinn. Deep fannnish affection for the genre that explodes the weirdness and fucked-upedness of it in increasingly raw fashion. (This association is probably reinforced by things like Clayface sounding a LOT like Baron Orpheus, etc.)
It's not only incredibly funny, the characters are extremely well defined and their relationships smartly drawn out. It's got laughs and emotional heft.

I kind of loved how they portrayed Jim Gordon.
Jim Gordon is the rock that keeps Batman grounded, not the other way around!

Jim Gordon's an alcoholic who's got a lot of fucking issues!
OMG Jim Rash playing the Riddler, Dean of Riddle U just broke my brain

OK, I'm mildly confused. Kite Man and Condiment King are both villains, but they are nemeses?
Like Hitler and Stalin...
