I remember when Dexter was praised as "the serious crime drama that really showed what prestige television can do" but rewatching S1 them putting the lead guy in the worst fucking wig in the world instead of just hiring an actor for the age he's supposed to be playing is the funniest shit of all time.
My take is that Dexter has always been dumb as hell far before "the spiral" and that's exactly why I love it. It's got dumb goofy illogical out of left field nonsensical charm. It just becomes more obvious as it goes on.
Anyway expect Dexter screenshots soon lmao

Even after five more seasons of cults, time travel, magic comets, etc. I still think one of the absolute funniest things riverdale has done was way back in S2 with the character of Claudius Blossom, Cliff Blossom’s identical twin brother who showed up for the sake of a commercial break cliffhanger, did nothing of note, and then died unmourned like three episodes later

Before you're like "oh 'prestige TV' isn't all that", I want to remind you that as recently as the early 1990s, a dinosaur scalesuit working-class family sitcom with slapstick elements was actually pretty cutting edge because though it DID reuse plot beats that had been in regular circulation since the pre-television white ethnic "little theater", it did so in awareness of what they had done with that on Roseanne

Stumbled across Las Bravas in HBO max's "latest" section and clicked on it bc I was like... Wow, y'all are jumping on that football train after Apple's Ted Lasso?
Pleased to report that it does a completely different thing, two episodes in. Oh, sure, it uses a coach and a tiny football team that management wants to get some professional help for. But it's more of a mean-spirited joke that goes right for sexist football stans' throats.
Roberto is an arrogant douche, quite frankly. Sure, he worked his way up to be the best player in the world and deserves the hype. But his workaholism contributed to the heart attack of episode 1 and the media was all too pleased to tear him a new one as he fell from grace in that forced retirement. He tries to demand the impossible from a pack of schoolkids, and then calls them hopeless. Doesn't even bother to study their opposition in ep 2 and completely fails them as a coach due to it!
And he promptly gets served some humble pie in his hometown, and really, that's where the mean-spirited comedy comes in. Like, the scene where Jacqueline starts grilling him regarding his sexist takes on women's football inside a pink studio that he already seems uncomf at? Legendary behavior, the lady just goes for the jugular.
And really, that scene about sums up the show thus far. It sets you up with a glitzy footballer and then proceeds to tear his unfortunately all too common takes a new one in ways that made me cough-laugh. And he actually starts to learn from the experiences and starts taking Bravas seriously! I've already been annoying my uni friends with my recommendation campaign bc I literally haven't heard anyone else talk about it.

it’s so funny how our expectations for art evolve over time, because I remember every time I started a new show or movie as a teenager I would be like: this better subvert all my expectations, and show me new concepts and ideas I’ve never seen before or else it’s BORING and LAZY and a WASTE OF MY TIME
and now when I start something new I’m just like: I know as soon as this story becomes reflective of the human condition in any way, large or small, I’m going to immediately burst into tears and call it the best thing I’ve ever seen
