    Sopranos is the kind of show that does exactly that. It's a show about the human experience of life, and it reawakens you what you've got, who you are and who you can become. The shows that can do that are treasures. Only Rectify, Mad Men, and Sopranos have done that for me. Twin Peaks too, but in such a different way you cant really group them together.

    Very artfully said. A lot of shows play with the anti-hero trope, but the Sopranos really did find an incredible way of building such deep and thoughtful characters.

    Rectify is good but not on the same level as Mad Men or The Sopranos imo

    I agree but I believe if it continued longer, it may have reached that level. Its undoubtedly life affirming though. Amazing acting, beautiful writing

    Almost done with the first season of a rewatch. Its been at least 7 years since ive seen the first season. What a fulfilling rewatch it has been so far. So happy to revisit everyone and see Don at the top of his game before the downfall begins.

    What's crazy is that at the point where you're at, it's already an incredible show.

    And where you're about to go is into a whole other echelon of greatness. I'm jealous.

    For real? Louis CK and this in the same day? I don’t even know what to think anymore.

  17. A spokesperson for Weiner issued the following statement to The Information: “Mr. Weiner spent eight to ten hours a day writing dialogue aloud with Miss Gordon, who started on ‘Mad Men’ as his writers assistant. He does not remember saying this comment nor does it reflect a comment he would say to any colleague.”

    WTF kind of response is that? You're saying that was ... dialogue? What ... what the? :cringe:

    Not to be insensitive but it sounds like it was just one gross comment about how hed like to see her naked on one night they were writing together. Still inappropriate, and not sure if it makes a difference... just trying to piece together my thoughts

    I think the issue is that he fired her a year later. Could be totally unrelated, but still not a good look for Weiner

    Was this the genesis of the Peggy/Stan strip scene?
