Last Call for Billy

 "The Taylor Sheridan A.I. wrote the thing, and it does not take notes."

THE BOYS — Ep.7 THE FRENCHMAN, THE FEMALE, AND THE MAN CALLED MOTHER’S MILK

Очень хороший год для сериалов. Некоторые ожидания сбылись даже сильнее, чем ожидалось. Некоторые меньше, но пока картина намного насыщеннее прошлого года.

Расстановка по номерам очень примерная и в некотором смысле хаотичная. Каких-то абсолютных лидеров, как в прошлом году, пока не было. Но общий уровень очень высокий. 

Ой, да. В прошлом году в программе не было победоносной войны США и Израиля против Ирана. На момент написания этих строк, она победоносная для Ирана, и есть подозрение, что все и болеют за них. Сериалы об этой войне выйдут лет через 10, при президенте-демократе.

BEST QUOTE

«Posh Spice was easily the most sh¡t member of the squad. Could barely sing or dance. No discernible talent whatsoever. Wasn't even featured on "Wannabe." But did that stop her? No. You look at her now. Still married with Becks. Fifteen engagement rings, 32 Vogue covers, inducted by Prince William into the Order of the bloody British Empire. Even I doubted her move into women's apparel, but her line is a staple at Paris fսck¡ng Fashion Week. You see, despite her obvious disadvantages, including a tragic inability to smile, she never gave up, and we ain't giving up, either» Billy Butcher
