i always thought mitchell was a bit of a cryptotory

thats just his C3P0-esque posh stiffness

he looks like he'd cry in bed, it's p hot

In peep show a woman who has sex with him tells him afterwards that he was like "a captain solemnly going down with his ship"

im not surprised david mitchell considers himself a socialist, given the views expressed in his articles, but its a threadbare aesthetic that he uses to salve his conscience more than anything (hes just married victoria coren too, lol)

peep show turned into a tired, workaday plot-driven farrago after the fourth season, i don't know why everyone's too scared to admit this

yeah but unlike in friends or whatever where the characters get old and have kids but nothing really changes peep show seems to be actually interested in charting the progression of their lives so it hasnt really got stale yet, it wont ever be as good as the first few series but its still better than like 99% of tv comedy

#73
jersey shore is an excellent show and i don't know why smart people won't admit it
#74
as a human zoo yeah absolutely

progression of life. devolution and ugly decline into a stagnant midlife and a useless old age. let's paint it in painstaking detail just like zola regurgitated the nascent microbiology of the 19th century in its every minute stroke in order to portray the putrefaction of Nana's corpse, because channel 4 are paying us a lot of money to do something we should have quit a long time ago. eat shit aestheticailures you're all hypocrites
