I couldn't stand whatshisname, the dude who was also on Doctor Who. Arthur something? Maybe? The dude in charge. He was so awful I gave up. (I hear he's gone, but I never went back to check it out.)

Arthur Darvill.

(hides Arthur Darvill from the mean Steph.)

I have no idea why they couldn't use the actor well on a wacky show, other than that the character was poorly conceived from the beginning. There's a decent amount of cast turnover, which kind of helps keep things fresh.

I love Arthur Darvill. In fact, I want to cast him in something with Alan Tudyk and watch both their faces.

In much the same way I just want Gina Torres and Lisa Berry to share a screen in some wonderful film.

What? I have more than one type.

Flash:

Chris Whassisname from American Pie is not really a good enough actor to be the villain.

Also, maybe don't discuss the villain and his evil plot right in front of him, so he knows you've caught on to him?

LoT got good as soon as they jetisonned the tree stumps masquerading as Vandal Savage and the hawk people at the end of season 1. The show is now a mad romp.

Yeah, he's not good.

I hated their version of Savage so much. I'm not as familiar with the comic version, but the Savage in the DCAU and on Young Justice were both way more interesting.

ETA: The Hawks were also terrible, so to have that first season all about the 3 of them made it absolute misery.

I just finished watching Season 3 of Legends of Tomorrow. I'm tossing up whether it achieved peak bonkers in the finale or Guest Starring John Noble.

Oh, one more thing about Kerblamazon! The writer, John McTighe, has done a lot of work in Australia, including 77 episodes of Neighbours. He's also responsible for Wentworth. This is a reimagining of Prisoner, an Australian 70s/80s soap set in a women's prison. (I believe elsewhere it was marketed as Prisoner: Cell Block H.) It was a viewing staple of my early teenage years; earlier this year I borrowed a DVD set from the library for a rewatch. Dear Lord the 70s fashions, the casual misogyny, the seemingly inexhaustible supplies of camp melodrama. Especially the misogyny; this show was touted as being something of an advance for feminism at the time, and I don't disagree, but that just makes it even more of an eye-opener on Aussie attitudes at the time.

Anyway, McTighe's remake, Wentworth, is grittier and clearly aspires to the HBO vibe. My sister watches it religiously, by which I mean she intermittently exclaims things like "Jesus Christ!" while watching.

This is just a bit of trivia, I don't think McTighe's Wentworth efforts much inform Kerblam! (which has markedly fewer shivvings). But it does help explain the reasonably sure touch he displayed with the ep. (Not sure how it relates to the skewed moral centre.)

I have to vote for Voltron Beebo.

I used to stay up late to watch Prisoner: Cell Block H with my flatmates! We thought we were really stylin' to watch foreign TV.

Voltron Beebo is hungry for your vote!

You were! I mean, you managed to avoid Hey Dad!, so I think that's showing considerable discernment.

If it's available through any sources over there, you might like to give Wentworth a try and see how it compares.
