It's not bad at all, plenty of good bits throughout the hour some parts of it felt very much like the ground had already been covered and he wasn't really bringing anything new to the topic. I felt the long speech about free speech in comedy and virtue signalling particularly was not very fun he's right but doesn't mean it's a good 10 minute opener to your special. It set kind of a strange tone for the rest of the hour like he was expecting everyone to be shocked by everything he says dude you've been doing this for two decades it's not a shock that you're going to say offensive things you don't believe I think he should of just got on with his material rather than making such a mountain about mentioning any "taboo" topics 95% of people including those in the group's he touched upon will understand it's comedy so it just felt unnecessary. Last point I've seen dozens of articles about his comments on trans people but not one on jokes about beating up a disabled toddler so it really does just prove his point that they really only care about the most politically topical disenfranchised group and not "offensive" comedy as a whole. But yeah not the best stand up special however very funny in parts and definitely worth watching.

The amount of murder porn fanatics looking for a modern mirroring of the exact same show that ran for 8 seasons is insane no it's not the same show the tone style and pacing reflect the changes Dexter has gone through in the past decade while maintaining a strong connection with the character development and rules set from the previous show the characters are for the most part great grounded and interesting in a very aesthetically pleasing setting. It's a great show if you were expecting a modern mirroring of Dexter with a new kill every week as he rehashes the same closed monolgues about his difficult relationships with people close to him and the juxtaposition of his twisted morality go back to 2005 this is Dexter for the modern era.

I initially stopped watching the walking dead halfway through the fifth season the quality was beginning to dip but my main reason was not being committed to waiting a week for a 45 minute episode cut into 4 twelve minute segments fast forward 5 years they're on season 11 and I decide to binge watch the rest. It god bad real bad seasons 8 & 9 are pretty much unrecognisable from the previous show and I was sure this would be the eventual demise 10 was pretty good definitely made improvements but my word I never saw it coming Season 11 is fantastic easily rivals season 1 as the best they've done it is simply fantastic the writing cinematography pacing all have been overhauled and the results are exactly what fans of this show always knew it could be interesting provoking grounded stories in an ungrounded world my word if you gave up on this it's worth sticking with it it all comes back around eventually.

Every single story this season had an unsatisfying ending I understand they seem to be trying to focus on truth rather than their usual suspenseful dramatisations but at a certain point you have to take into account what made this show so popular in the first place. If you know anything about the story of chapo and what happened in Mexico after Amado died then you will be pretty shocked they decided to cut this season how they did leaving so much out for the sake of a 4 hour message about the inadequacy in Mexico's law enforcement. They've left enough material for literally 5/6 more seasons at this pace. I love Narcos but this whole season was much ado about nothing.

This films haunted me for 8 years I think about it more than most and I suppose some would say that makes it impactful and I had a response and that's the point of art I think it's so unbelievably bad and the cast is so exceptionally good that the fact this went from script to all of those high profile actors accepting presumably most having read it themselves and all through production nobody stopped and said hey this is terrible in every single way and should never exist and then they would burn down the studio preventing this film from ever being made. When will this film leave me be.

Whether this is the end of archer for good or just the start of something new I will always be grateful for the time and dedication Jessica Walter all of the cast the writers producers and everyone involved in the production of this show has put into it countless hours to really make something special and I will be satisfied with the outcome regardless. Thank you.

The most I've ever enjoyed a DC film entertaining throughout picking up the horrendous pieces of the first one the sequel is actually hilarious in parts with almost no cringe humour really surprising to see a script of this caliber not be grinded down in the production the arcs are heartwarming and well rounded and it is genuinely and surprisingly a very good film.
