[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

BoJack Horseman Season 3 starts July 22.

I sampled both Love and Flaked and they were  just terrible shows. Both seemed like a show wanting to be very modern and current, but the writing, characters and acting was just bad. 

Lady Dynamite, on the other hand, is really great.

Awkward. finally ended last night, but the producers are teasing the idea of a sixth season.

It's such a shame what happened to that show. People deride it for being an MTV show and for a lot of other reasons, but the first 3 seasons with the original showrunner were a really good high school drama, with a great cast of characters who were reduced to bare bones stereotypes by the time the new showrunners stepped in for Lauren Iungerich. Thankfully, she has two new shows coming up (a "comedic mystery" and a single-camera comedy on Freeform), but I'll never forget how badly MTV blew it with Awkward. 

We'll always have the first three seasons, at least.

The Americans has its end goal - two more seasons and it will end in 2018. Delighted with this, the show is very good and it deserves not to go on longer than necessary and get a proper ending.

And it looks like True Detective probably won't be back for a third season, which is fine with me since season two was such a disappointment.

Limitless cancelled. Peaky Blinders renewed through to a fifth season.

Mark Salling (Noah "Puck" Puckerman in Glee) has officially been charged with receiving and possessing child pornography. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he had "at least one photo and video of a prepubescent minor and a minor who had not attained 12 years of age". 

It's going to really weird me out to go back and watch any old Glee episodes knowing this now. He was also a guest judge on the Glee Project - a reality TV show where the winner got a spot on Glee - in the "Sexuality" episode...

So I started watching Modern family from the start and it's a lot funnier than I remember from the random parts of episodes I saw.

Danger 5 is decent but four episodes in and it seems to be running out of fresh jokes. The concept seems like it would be much better as a movie.

Tried to watch The Fall last night. Got through the first episode but it was just so slow going and the accents just kill me. I can only handle so many different accents in one episode.

I am so happy Veep called an episode C**tgate and the episode lived up to that name.

It was me. I just got so mad that she wouldn't use sunscreen, which is just like, so stupid, and I.. I called her an "old crone".

Also, Silicon Valley was pretty good last night too I thought. I can never get enough of Jared.

[GoGo Yubari]

It's not a "-gate" :/

[MalaCloudy Black]

It is a -gate!

[Moses Julep]

Can I also add that I can't wait until

 

we get jokes about how Marjorie is attracted to her mom's body?

[MalaCloudy Black]

I think you mean Catherine, but yeah. I can't wait for it to dawn on Selina. That look she and Gary gave each other after the reveal was priceless.

[MDK]

Upstart Crow is pretty good

Bates Motel S4E9 (Major Spoilers)...

Spoiler

Oh shit, I spent so long being convinced Dylan or Romero would die I forgot all about the fact Norma would die soon. I had expected that to happen next season, or very least the finale. Next season is apparently actually the full season for Psycho, so that should be really interesting how they pull that off.

 

[Benji]

Bates Motel, S4E9 major spoilers again, but for anyone who doesn't/didn't watch the show and doesn't mind a spoiler and likes cinematography, I suggest watching this because it was an absolutely fantastically shot sequence...

Inside Amy Schemer is on Sky box sets. Any good or should I not bother?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Depends. I like it, but I realize that Amy Schumer's kind of comedy very much isn't to everyone's taste.

I think Milk Milk Lemonade is one of my favorite gags. It's a tie between that and Last Fuckable Day.
