I am curious as to how effective sportswashing has been thus far? It seems to me that it brings a lot of these countries issues to the forefront, rather than normalizing them. I think I would have forgotten all about Jamal Khashoggi if it weren't for the WWE's Saudi Arabia shows, LIV, and Newcastle. Not to say that his killing wasn't horrifying and important, but there are a LOT of other horrifying and important things going on in the world.

how does this show compare overall to Sons of Anarchy?

Seems like it'll be an easy watch. A show like that, I feel like you can't make it too serialized, otherwise you'll deter people from jumping on. I'll check it out.

It's been awhile (decades) since I've seen this show... are we talking about the 1-800-Homicide murder? Isn't that the one that Bayliss admitted to in the movie?
Do I need to watch this show again? It'd be good to hear some quality Lincoln Assassination conspiracy theories, haha!

i remember my original watch of this show back in 2006, I had to get the episodes from Netflix DVD Delivery. I was running through the show so fast they throttled me. Then some DVD's arrived snapped in half. The arrrgh matey scene didn't have the whole series back then.

i have no problem with the filler episodes thus far because they have been incredible. bill and frank is one of my favorite episodes of tv in a long time.

> Saying Joel is a better version of Rick is like saying pizza is a better version of salad.
they are two main leads in a show with similar premises. it's not that serious.

I feel like Pedro Pascal has shown us what a better version of Rick is. Much better southern accent, too. (Andrew Lincoln, admittedly, is at a disadvantage being from the UK and all, though)

I don't know if I agree with all of that. There are plenty of black people, mostly black people that I come in contact with actually, that love that book. Some of us just can't deal with these stories, though.

as a black person, i couldn't read the book and couldn't watch this show. getting transported back to a plantation sounds so horrifying to me.

oh wow, he was fired?! sons of anarchy started of great, and had its moments in later seasons...but ultimately was underwhelming. i won't lie, that dude take some big risks in storytelling and I guess that's why i appreciate him.
