Fuller House renewed for a 2nd season

[RPS]

I saw a clip that somebody posted on Facebook and that show is my idea of hell.

Oh wow that actually sounds incredibly freaking perfect. I can picture it instantly.

I can't see him as anyone other than Lovejoy

One thing I love about ACS is how trashy it gets sometimes. The whole heart attack thing is kind of rooted in reality but still super dramatic and fun to watch.

Same here, even if he's occasionally cowboy Lovejoy or pirate Lovejoy.

It might even go full circle and we get antique hunter Lovejoy

[Colly]

For me he's still hunting antiques while he's a pirate or cowboy.

I dunno how he hunted antiques when he was Prison Mechanic Lovejoy

7 eps into Broad City and v happy to have found a new easy comedy to watch. 

Also got two episodes of Love left, which I'm getting through slower cos I watch it with my girlfriend, which I also think is very good -- it's nice seeing Gillian Jacobs take centre stage, she's great.

[MalaCloudy Black]

That reminds me that I haven't watched any of this season of Broad City yet. I assume you're on S1, which is a great season, but episodes 9 & 10 are the big standouts for me. 9 has a great character for Amy Sedaris, and 10 guest stars Amy Poehler and Seth Morris and is a great episode.

[Benjamin]

And then you have season 2 which is an even better season of TV, and season 3 is on course to be even better than that.

Basically, best show on TV right now.

[Benjamin]

Into the first 3 episodes of Love, didn't like the third as much as the first two, but that's not saying that I hated it but that I loved episodes 1 & 2. Episode 2 was probably the best, and so my early diagnosis is that this show is at its strongest when Gus and Mickey are together then when they're separated.

It's been a week straight of my roommate refusing to stop talking about the 'lesbian death trope'. Is that a thing that I wasn't aware of?

[Draevyn]

Blindspot is back. Is it sad that I forgot about that show while it was on break? I enjoy it even though it's not ground breaking or anything. You'd have thought it would have come back with a bang but this episode really just continued on with the usual stuff and didn't really reveal that much.

My mind immediately went to the Bury Your Gays trope, and then a cursory search indicated that yes, at some point the trope was called (or had a trope that was merged with it called) Dead Lesbian Syndrome. So yes, it's sort of a thing.

[Benji]

Some person who helped write the TV Tropes article for that really has a persecution complex

[Benjamin]

Last Man on Earth is back! That was an amazing episode, the special guest stars

Spoiler

Mark Boone Jr. and freaking Jacob Tremblay were awesome!

I'm on episode six of Mr Robot but it feels like it's largely fallen apart. I'm forcing myself through it, but none of the promise of the pilot really feels like it's been fulfilled. Hopefully the end stretch picks back up, especially since Craig Robinson just got cast in season two and I love me some Craig Robinson.
