Is this where we talk about Harley Quinn? (Everyone needs to be watching Harley Quinn. It is so good.)
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.
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.

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
In a good way
OK, I'm mildly confused. Kite Man and Condiment King are both villains, but they are nemeses?
Like Hitler and Stalin...
Kite Man vs Condiment King is more of an intra-office rivalry.
Oh, a work nemesis, not an arch-nemesis. OK
