It did in general, but I thought the 'Ron and Leslie' episode was one of the best of the whole series. Everyone did do a bit too well, but it would have been against the spirit of the show if one of them had ended up living under a bridge or prematurely dead.
Maybe Mona Lisa Saperstein could have died in a fire without harming the positivity.
Yeah, the episode was great, to be fair. And yeah, it's a pretty small criticism but I wasn't asking for anyone to die or live under a bridge. Just not be so ridiculously successful. But yeah, it fitted with the show and helped tie everything up so it's not a huge deal. I guess my criticism was really that the final series seemed a bit too plot-driven compared to the others.
I liked Mona-Lisa and Jean-Ralphio. I don't think there was a character I didn't like.
I loved Jean-Ralphio, him decking Ben with one of his singing bouts was one of my biggest laughs of the series, but Mona Lisa was just a huge shit. I wasn't keen on Jamb either, but he was used in fairly small doses outside of one or two episodes so it wasn't a problem.
The Sapersteins were Sabre-employee-in-The-Office tier terrible.
Oh yeah, Jamm was pretty annoying, actually. But then I guess you're meant to hate him.
Toby's wrong, again.
I liked the Sapersteins (Jean Ralphio was by far the best) but Jamm was awful.
Both of those are from the middle of season two, when you were still moaning about it being an Office clone.
Jean-Ralphio was slightly less funny as he went on and became a bit of an actual dickhead rather than an annoying but harmless buffoon. He's got some brilliant moments though, including the Donna one above.
Tom is dogshit. Ann is useless but harmless. The always positive lad starts off well but becomes a bore. That Jean-Ralphio fella is funny in small doses. The sister in even smaller ones. Jamm was ok but maybe a bit overused.
I guess this is meant jokingly but sounds so pissy.
They're a bit like Rafi in The League in that they just go for really outlandish, " haha, you didn't see that coming" sort of humour, which just knst my cup of tea at all.
(The mobile app still deletes when you try to edit, for anybody wondering why I deleted this and made almost exactly the same post in its place.)
At first I hated Chris, but I actually liked him come the end of season six.
Hmm, I like Rafi too.
And that was meant jokingly, yeah.
Also, look at the state of Pepe here. And people call me miserable ffs.
Pepe just hates it because he wants to look cool.
Alright, I was wrong. We know this. I know this. I've admitted it. What else do you want?
Chris Taeger was the worst character in the whole thing for me though.
I was so happy that they seemed to have killed him off in that episode with Seth Rogan, and so pissed off when they had the "lol, nope" moment a few episodes later. I just can't get on board with that sort of "wacky" humour, I need it to be at least slightly grounded in reality.
Tried to put that in a spoiler but they don't work yet. I'm leaving it since nobody watches The League for dramatic suspense.
Nice to see you completely disregard the 'for me' part.
I couldn't stand him.
Had no idea this would be the last season of The League
Really like that show. It's nice to have a show where none of the main characters are likeable in pretty much any way.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia does that too. Charlie is mostly quite likeable through his innocent stupidity but the others are such relentlessly terrible people that it's almost draining to watch too much of them.
I think Parks and Rec is good, just so we're clear.
Revolution is so cheesy.
Giancarlo Esposito makes me want to keep watching though.
Fuck that stupid mobile editing function that actually deletes posts.
I'm on Dave schedule for Parks, so Ben's just been fired and is running Leslie's election campaign. Jean-Ralphio at the moment is still very infrequent guest but that stuff about his company with Tom was a bit bollocks so less of that please.
Anyone watched Heroes reborn?
Yep. Only two seasons. So did Jericho though and I enjoyed it. I'm about a third of the way through the first season and although it's not great, I'm intrigued enough about the premise to keep watching.
So I finally finished The Brink.
It's a bit mental.
Did Revolution not get more than two seasons? It certainly felt like it went on for ages. My favourite thing about the show is the constant shift of how they're the good guys despite the hundreds upon thousands of people they kill per month.

Got cancelled last year apparently for some reason. Probably because it looks shite.
It's shite but eminently watchable shite.
I watched two episodes of it then gave up.
Probably might pick it up on Sky if they can be bothered to put it on their lists.
I'm a twit
Yeah, pretty much.
Just watched an episode where they supposedly get trapped in a subway tunnel when a mine blows up the entrance they came in. And it seals it airtight, apparently. So they all start suffocating and hallucinating due to the suffocation (is that a thing?). How was there not some other air getting in somewhere else in the tunnel? Surely there'd be vents or something at least? Or how did a pile of rubble from the explosion seal it airtight? And then when they eventually find some service door that they can get out, it's got a load of fucking holes in it. WHAT.
Still, it's kinda fun.
Mate just you wait until you get to the Finale.
I quite liked season 1 of Revolution. Don't get me wrong it's total shite, but I'm a sucker for dystopian shite and as @Boydy said, Giancarlo Esposito
Anyone given Minority Report or Limitless pilots a go yet?
Yeah, I love dystopian/post-apocalyptic stuff too which is why I'm still enjoying it a lot despite it not being all that good.
Have you seen Jericho?
No, didn't bother when I found out it was cancelled.
I'm about to watch all of Red Dwarf again and I couldn't be happier.
I can't remember seeing it, but based on the premise anyone enjoying Revolution will probably also enjoy Falling Skies. I dropped it fairly quickly, but it seems like it would fit the same taste as Revolution.
It's incredibly po faced and the aliens in it are, brilliantly, called 'Skitters', so it's unintentionally hilarious quite often, when you get someone doing some serious ACTING and saying 'the only thing I hate more than you are the Skitters."
It actually wraps itself up pretty well in the two seasons so it's not that bad. I think they did continue (or at least plan to continue) the story in a graphic novel though.
It's definitely worth a watch if you like dystopian or post-apocalyptic stuff. I really enjoyed it.
Quantico - Got good ratings on IMDB, gonna give it a watch just because it has Priyanka Chopra
Revolution is starting to get a bit ridiculous with how many times it appears one/some of the main characters have been captured and are about to meet their doom when BAM! someone shows up to save them.
