OT: Movies/TV Shows

Walton Goggins is on the cusp of an Emmy/Oscar win for something, he's that good in anything he does, and Boyd Crowder is probably a top 10 supporting character ever for me. Im told he's very good in The Shield as well, but i doubt i ever end up watching that.

Im 3 episodes in, and if Fallout catches on with people, this could be it. He's absolutely fantastic

He is equally as good in the Righteous Gemstones. And he's playing a completely different character. I have yet to see him play anything close to the same character in any role.

I did season 1 of Gemstones and while i did like it, and loved Goggins, i go back and forth as to weather i like or loathe Danny McBride, that combined with the massive delay between season 1 and 2 caused me to not get back into it, now i feel i need to start over.

Another example, i liked Goggins enough in Vice Principles, but man, i couldnt get past McBride in it to say i liked it.

agreed on cop shows being always terrible.

but moreover, Michael Chiklis is always terrible.

The Shield was awesome from beginning to end and it ended the right way, by providing closure (I'm talkin' to you, Sopranos)

So I take it you aren't a fan of Law & Order Toronto then?

If someone told me that all of the Law and Order episodes and ensuing spinoffs had been written and created by a racist AI program and that Dick Wolf had been dead since 2001 i would believe you.

The most generic mindless garbage that perpetuates police work as a) easy and b) okay to use physical force to coerce confessions that only serves as a scripted non musical lullaby that whisks boomers away to sleep without being too complicated to upset them

Funny, I'd never really thought about it, but I never watch any cop shows. I didn't consciously hate them... but I hate zero interest in any of them. Loved The Wire, but as you said, that not really a "cop show." Even movies, I'll watch a comedy cop movie but otherwise I've only watched a couple, very highly touted cop movies, like Training Day and never like them as much as the masses seem to.

Ya'll too young for Hill Street Blues I guess.

Got the box set a couple christmases ago, it aged well.

I watched bits and pieces of it years ago when it first came out but never really got into it. I've always heard it is a good series.

Been thinking about checking it out again lately, just haven't got around to it yet.

I can't remember, is it chronological or is every episode a complete story?
