Showtime shows have all the executive fuckery that big network tv has but the programming uses foul language and has nudity.

Yellowstone season 5 is borderline unwatchable and the best show about ranching is actually The Ranch with Sam Elliott / Ashton Kutcher

Showtime is stupid. Always has been. First season of black Monday ruled. Then it was a slow slide into shitty and just dragging shit out. Like weeds. But i think giving how OITNB spiraled, i think that jenji is more to blame. Speaking of weeds, i decided to watch Angels in America and good god mary louise parker is a smoke show.

Showtime’s best shows usually go on for at least 1-2 seasons too long and the quality always drops off after a season or two. Twin Peaks: The Return and Kidding are the only shows they’ve done that I would rewatch the entirety of and they’re only one and two seasons long respectively.

Last nights episode of dave slapped, overall, i enjoyed this season. brad pitt and rachel mcaddams cameo was great lol. Robyn is bomb! Agreed. It was driving me mad how stupid he was being during it though.

Her whole schtick is so plain as day:
- take a historically masculine role (drug dealer, prison) - put a woman in it - exhaust every single trope possible with that role (typically in two seasons) - then play into every bad stereotype of women after the fact

The anti trans story that came out of nowhere, the mimicking of Sandra Bland, murdering a black lesbian slowly on screen, the ICE prison shit. Just shameful.

Twin peaks the return is the best thing to happen to tv and lynch basically told showtime "dont interfere like my old network did"
On becoming a god ruled and so did kidding. Definitely rewatchable

The Return is something I’ve been meaning to revisit and probably the only reason you should have Showtime. They let him just make a batshit auteur 18 hour movie and it rules infinitely

And they almost didn’t let him make it. They wanted to put chains on him and cut the budget after he sighned on so he walked. Showtime was gonna proceed with other people doing it but basically the entire cast and fans were like “you guys are fucking crazy”, and they finally relented.
Showtime sucks.

He also threatened to sue them for breach of contract because showtime promised they wouldn’t interfere and then as soon as they started to see what he was doing they panicked and tried to interfere.
Worst network. Worst people.

Worst network. Worst people. Absolutely. It felt like they thought "this highly regarded director NEEDS us to make this show" and he was like "i dont actually have to be doing this, im david fucking lynch and my fans wont accept another time of a network fucking me over, they don't need a s2 repeat"

Episode 8 "got a light" is the most breathtaking, beautiful and horrifying things ive ever seen and ill never forget what it was like to watch it live while hitting my vape pen and just sitting there eith my mouth wide open and being speechless the entire time.
The trailer i saw for that Oppenheimer movie made me think "oh so nolan saw that episode too huh"

Showtime are the reason dexter had the lumberjack ending. He was supposed to die but the network wanted him to live to keep the door open for a future show so they made them shoehorn in the lumberjack ending.

SERIOUSLY WHYYYY i mean the show wen't offfff the rails way before this, but when nancy got taken over by the cartels and still was peddling dime bags on the side and didnt die i was like "ok this is too much" and i think it wen't on for like 2 more seasons after that. Mary louise parker is hot but not hot enough or frankly a good enough actor to cover up that mess. She kinda just does the doe eyed "whaaat wow" thing. She does it well but come on.

It was one of the few times i was like "im too high and im scared wtf" Like how is some soot covered lumberjack saying "got a light? Got a light?" So completely unnerving??? Idk it just is and im glad lynch stood his ground this time around.

weeds the last like 4 seasons was "oh hey im jammed up, guess i better have sex to get out of it". im sure jenji kohan's logic is "men are so weak that theyre willing to shirk all duties / responsibilities for some pussy" but the other side of that is "women have absolutely nothing to offer by way of strategy / ability that they resort to using their bodies".
tl;dr jenji kohan hates women

Maybe not flat out hating women, but definitely internalized misogyny. Weeds and orange in the new black were both considered progressive for when they came out and she let that get to her head. The anti trans shit she pulls is so fucking weak and aggravating. She does trauma porn. Period.

So, I didn’t know this but apparently when Max launched they credited writers and directors as “creators” and the DGA g checked Discovery real fast and they changed it back to crediting them appropriately. Makes sense they think it’s “content” and not film.
