Too pleasant? A time owner who maliciously sabotages her own employees, a player who can’t speak four words without dropping an F-bomb (even in front of young children), another player who kills a dog during a game, divorces, infidelity…?
What I don’t get is why critics keep saying it’s a great comedy. The Marx Brothers could pack more jokes into three minutes than this show does in four episodes.
Yes feel free to make comments. Just as others are free to say how useless yours was.
Yeah season 2 was darker, but it was boring as hell. There's no tension in the story anymore, no arch enemies anymore, they'd all come good, or disappeared. Aaaaaannnndd it was full of little Timmy's cultural take on life, completely ruining the vibe.
You should try ted Lasso though. I hated most of the stuff, such as the Morning Show, but season 1 of Ted Lasso is the best TV series I've ever seen. Season 2 sucked, but season 1 was brilliant. Yeah, most of ATV+ is an extreme left culture fest, I can't imagine it has a big audience, and I feel like it is Captain Crook's vain little attempt to change the culture of the world to match his own twisted little bubble.
And yet is meh, boring as hell. S1 ruled. S2 was a drudge to watch. S3 will likely be a trash can of Timmy culture. I won't be surprised if every single character comes out of the closet and announces their own pronouns, changes their football jerseys to pink, and wins the premier league, thus proving all along, the righteous shalt inherit the earth. The season finale will end with a quadruple wedding of Roy and Jamie, Keeley and Rebecca, Nathan and Higgins, and Ted and Coach Beard.
Not my style of tv. Don’t like feel good tv. Want disturbing tv. Or diy. Apple ain’t either
This is either a really poor attempt at a joke, or you may want to consider therapy. It sounds like the thought of gay people keeps you up at night.
no, it most certainly will not.
But even if it did, what’s wrong with that?
After all, pronouns are just words, pink is just a color, and marriage isn’t any of your business.
Are these really the things that scare you about “Timmy’s culture?”
Personally, literally none of those things scare me.
The things that scare me about “Timmy’s culture” are things like Apple having several reports of a toxic work environment, horrendous conditions at the overseas factories that they contract, and my phone doing on device hash matching against A database that I just have to trust Apple is using properly and governments are keeping their greedy little hands off of.
Not colors, words and weddings
Not at all. I'm not homophobic, and have even had several gay or lesbian housemates. That's not the issue. It's the insulting way it is presented by ATV+.
Show's such as For All of Mankind, The Morning Show, Dickinson, and many others across the ATV+ spectrum, have a common theme suggesting that men, and in particular, straight-white-cisgender-men, are all creepy, idiotic, useless slimes, and that all women, or non-straight people, or non-whites (non-white-straight-men, that is, of course) are innocent blameless victims of such men, are highly intelligent, and better at all things, and the world would be better if they ran the world instead.
In the 2021 Ted Lasso Christmas Special cartoon, Ted even bluntly says "Hey guys, sorry I was being such a straight white cisgender male version of myself".
I'd love to know your reaction if Ted was a black lesbian woman, and had instead said "Hey guys, sorry I was being such a lesbian black female version of myself."
