2020-2021 TV Season

[JayBee74]

Another fine season of Killing Eve with a perfect blend of resolution and cliffhanger in the season finale. Very satisfying.

Spoiler

I though the gradual softening of Villanelle was well done setting up a lot of possibilities in season 4. I was suprised at Konstantin's luck near the end as you could tell just before his near execution that Villanelle had abandoned him.

I really liked Carolyn's daughter Geraldine as she braved on through the cold front coming from her mother. I might even watch The End of the F***ing World in which the actress that plays her has a prominent role and the series itself has received very good/good reviews.

Season 2 wasn't really that great to me, but this season was much better IMO.

It's interesting that you say that you liked Geraldine, because while I was neutral on the character, every female reactor that I watch for this show, hated her character a lot.

They didn't have anything against the actress, but they were all so upset that she seemed to just be a normal woman trying to deal with her mom. They resented her screen time because she didn't have an impact on the larger plot. A lot of them felt the same way about Kenny's girlfriend.

Carolyn's

Spoiler

grief

and how she dealt with it wasn't worthy of further examination?

Spoiler

What about the ending?

I'm surprised women, particularly mothers would have any negative reaction to Geraldine let alone hating her. That's a tough crowd, LOL.

Yeah I know, I feel how you feel. I don't know with 100% percent certainty, but I'm pretty sure that none of my Killing Eve reactors have children, so that might definitely affect their opinion, and yes they were really tough on her. I added a new person yesterday, and she went in on her just like all the others.

I kind of think that the main issue is the lack of toughness or eccentricity from Geraldine. If she had been more edgy like the character the actress played on Game of Thrones then I think that a lot of them would have been okay with her not contributing to the larger plot.

I let that happen to me with the show Agent Carter. An actress who was a bad *** in another show was on that show and I kept waiting for her to be a bad *** on AC as well or to be reveled to have a bigger role in the main plot and it didn't happen and I let it make me feel at the time that she was a waste to have in the show even though she provide nice supplemental interaction for the lead.

Don't know if anyone watches the show Mom on CBS which I always thought was underrated but Anna Farris is leaving the show ahead of Season 8.

It's one of my favorite comedies of all time. I thought when William Fichtner (Adam) came aboard in season three (seven seasons have been completed) the show went to another level. I don't know about it being underrated seeing that it is pretty acclaimed although the first season was easily the worst. Anna Faris's departure was more shocking then her divorce from Chris Pratt. The bench is deep (including Jaime Pressly & Kristen Johnston) but they need a good hook to replace Anna.

My only beef about Anna Faris is the fact she could put on not 10 but 15 pounds. There have been rumors about her having an eating disorder.
