What an awful list. You really are the worst content creator on here. You didn’t even put The Mist on there. This is why I make much better videos than you. Get good or get out.
OPEN MIND I know! Mindhunter made me feel like I was watching a movie and was really creative in making the audience feel things with the characters, like Holden’s anxiety
Oh hii Simon XD Dirk Gentlys really Needs a third Season! I love the show and its characters! The plot is awesome in both seasons... I really dont get why the quotes were that low… :/ They really should consider the Netflix quotes as well… I really hope they will continue the series… It deserves it!
Just you wait, man... by the time you get to season 3 and 4, you'll be amazed you once thought season one was even worth watching. TNG gets SO good later on.

Okay, I have said this in a comment above but I'll be lazy and copy/paste it here too. Dirk Gently is shite. I do not get why people like it. The UK version was miles ahead of the Max Landis' overacting one. If only the BBC didn't dump it on BBC Four at daft o' clock. The UK one was actually funny, the story was in line with Douglas Adams' style of humour and it was bit silly but still smart in its writing. I only watched 4 episodes of the US version and I couldn't suffer any more than that. It was TERRIBLE. The guy playing Dirk is like that child who is screaming constantly for his Mammy to notice him. F*%K THAT!
avolea Yes, I have a different opinion, why do you feel the need to engage with me if this is oh so tiring for you? Is it because you like the show, perhaps? :'( Diddums. If there are multiple versions of the same source material, then you are going to get comparisons, so toughen up. The world isn't your echo chamber.
avolea I'm not the one who finds it "Tiring," Though, am I? So no, the same logic cannot be used against me. I am not the one complaining about hearing different opinions, YOU ARE! I was voicing my opinion, you are welcome to disagree and share yours but you are the one who says you find it tiring. Are you new to UA-cam comments or something? This is usually what happens, people with differing opinions engage. I prefer respectful discourse, you clearly do not. This is like talking to a child. You say you agree, yet this was your response? You couldn't just have said that, you had to claim how tiring it was hearing someone who disagrees' opinion? The problem lies solely with you, mate. I am not telling others what to think or what to like, I am voicing my opinion, same as everyone else and I copy pasted because I noticed what I said in my own post could apply here, which I already explained. Why is that so ridiculous? Seems like you are looking for anything to justify your original, childish outburst. Comparing things that are based on ONE source material is strange to you, is it? So, do you think that those who compared Ghostbusters 2016 with the original were just being strange do you or is there a good reason to compare them? Look how much you are trying to justify what you said, that is what is really ridiculous. It is a shame as well, if you weren't such a reactionary, we could have had a civil conversation. If it wasn't too tiring for you, of course. You can tell it is the defenders of the show who are siding with you as well because your whole argument is total shite, so it cannot be that. @Spam My opinion is my opinion, you can't fix anything when there is nothing to fix. Your comment is shite. :)
Yeah Dirk Gently is a ton of fun. Its idiosyncrasies both story and character wise are quite endearing. Do you like the second season more than the first? I find the first season to be a bit more focused and as such I think I prefer it over the second season. I'll defintiely give Limmy's show a watch that seems right up my alley. I've been quite enjoying the expanse recently on Netflix. A scfi which is a hybridization of different narrative modes such as, detective mystery, political thriller, character driven space opera thrown in with some engaing action and set pieces. It has great production value and there's a lot of organic world building with an engaging central conflict to boot. You might like it. Bojack Horsemen if you haven't given that a watch definitely do so as well.
I had actually been put off from watching Dirk Gently due to how Netflix advertised it to me, and I’m starting to wonder if his effect affected others as well. Watching it now it is a beautiful show, so I don’t see any other reason for why it should «fail» in gathering views.
Zuffin - No no no no non no no no. No no no no no! It was alllllllll sarcasm. We are in on the joke and you are not. To be fair, you do need a high iq to understand These videos. I am very smart. Can’t you tell?
so happy to see limmy’s show get some of the recognition it deserves, so bloody funny. yet more quality content from my favourite little boy in the whole wide world.
Well it's not on Netflix (which makes me cry every night) but it's called Legion. It's a marvel TV show that not a lot of people know about. I really like the writing in it though, and the characters are pretty good too. And the cinematography is also really nice. Yes I really love this show
Hey Nit Pix! I think you should totally check out a British tv show called “The End Of The F***ing World” It’s just 8 episodes, 20 (or less) minutes each. It’s about 2 damaged teens running away from home. The cinematography is just beautiful and it’s definitely not a teen show like “13 reasons why”. I think the show did a great job with the characters and the interactions. I totally recommend you to watch this addictive and quite unique show. Hope u see this comment ;) Edit: NitPix changed the thumbnail. When i saw it didn’t have any pictures of The End Of The F***ing World and I didnt notice he put the two main characters’s faces in the thumbnail. It would be interesting if he did a review tho.
I watched that show and I mostly liked it. I appreciated how short it was. It never wasted screen time, and the characters felt pretty fully developed despite how short the series is. I definitely recommend it because even if someone doesn't like it, it's so short that it doesn't waste much of your time. My biggest complaint, however, is the ending. SPOILERS The "gunshot cut to black" at the end was really cliche. I'm not saying it came out of nowhere, the show definitely built up to it, but it's an overdone cliche nonetheless. Also, I have to admit I'm a bit tired of shows with sad endings. I used to be fine with subverting the stereotypical and unrealistic "everyone lives and is happy" kind of ending, but these days, I feel like there's enough sadness in the world that I could use a bit more happiness in the TV and movies I watch. Just my two cents.
njdss4 Yeah I agree. There’s a season two coming out and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I actually liked the ending. I prefer the comic book ending than the show ending tho. In a way, they couldn’t exactly do a happy ending. The cops were after them and the story had to end some way, not a happy one tho cause in a situation like that, i dont think thats possible.
H 3 I absolutely loved The end of the f***ing world. It kinda gave me Moonrise Kingdom vibes. It’s a reminder of how dangerous humans can be when they’re alone, especially teens. It was overall great and no cliches wich i appreciated
God, Dirk Gently is such a quality show. I've watched it a few times through, and even the small things serve to fit with the hollistic atmosphere. I managed to spot (spoilers, I guess? Not really, though) the squeaky toy's eyes change colour occasionally in season 2, and thought I was going crazy until it was explained later in the plot haha Good fun to watch, though- planning on forcing some of my friends to watch it with me at some point :)
After 2 secs of seeing American vandal, I paused the video and binged the entire series in one siting. This series was honestly excellent. You get attached to soany characters and feel for all of them. It never feels obvious who the culprit is (still isn't at the end). It brings up really good questions about a lot of social issues (social media, how our education system fails to cater for difficult children, personal identity and self-image, how we always try to find a definite answer and jump to conclusions and how that can affect people's lives). The show makes you laugh with its ridiculous settings and overall comical characters but there is always a very reason for each plot point and for the development of a very wide cast. Not to mention the acting was actually quite solid. Overall would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to have a laugh while reflecting on some important questions!
In the hopes that enough people will miss those show and they continue like Dirk Gently's through your videos i have a couple shows i want to see continued or expanded. -"Galavant" from 2015 was an amazing two season fantasy comedy musical which was unlike anything i've seen ever. It was really fun to watch and it must had been a pain to make it not only funny but also have musical elements in it! -"Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" is a one season series based on a book about 2 wizards helping England win the Napoleonic wars. It's fantastic how well it handles wizards in a non fantasy world and even though i don't remember much about it now I would had loved to see more of it. Now i'll go honorable mentions mode because fuck you look on your own if you like these.Also they might not be on netflix. "Wrecked " "Vice principles" "The Wizards of Aus" -- "The guestbook" "The magicians "US version "The Orvile" (with the hopes it gets better and becomes the new Star Trek) "Son of Zorn"-- "People of Earth" "Penny dreadful"-- "Preacher" "Legion"(the marvel series) "Constantine"(again the series)-- "F is for family" "Ash vs the evil dead'(the series once more)-- -- Means Dead/Ended from what i know All those are series I would gladly say have or had something good going on. I hope you make a second video and it includes some of them. With a name like yours I can easily see you going full "watch mojo" you FRAUD!
If you get bored of that I encourage you to watch the Orville you might have already seen it but if not watch it. Its got a kinda rick and morty feel to it. Some episodes have shit pay offs but most episodes steer u in the direction in which u would want it to go.
Really I loved broadchurch but you hated the mom? I thought she was hot for an older women lol.. I never like older women but damn . Also watch bloodline it’s slow but give it a chance ... fucking amazing !
Came here expecting to see Bojack Horseman and Happy on this list because of the thumbnail. A little disappointing tbh. Anyway, I would definitely recommend both of them to anyone who hasn't seen them.
It's pretty unlikely, but I'd love to see another show that takes up the same spirit. If there's a season 2 it would probably be an anthology, which I could totally dig
I am 24 years old, watched all of Star Trek the Next Generation last year, and absolutely loved it. It is one of those shows that expresses so much creativity and invokes thought. I find myself thinking about it or relating to things in my life to certain episodes. I love Picard and Data, they are awesome.
Ok, although I’ve been watching TGN since I was a kid, in discussing the show after a recent rewatch my friend and I have agreed that every episode is secretly about Data.
Glad to see you promoting Limmy's Show! Just thought i'd add that Dee Dee actually says "See as I was walking out" and not "seeing as I was walking out"
so glad u mentioned toast of london and limmy, even more enjoyable after a smoke though! on seires 3 of TNG too. have u watched orville though? (not that its on netflix :(
Do you guys have Mindhunter on UK Netflix? It's a dialogue-driven drama about the FBI agents who first came up with the idea of "serial" killers and the reasons why they kill.
Bojack Horseman is one of the best shows of all time. If you're not going to talk about its genius don't put it in the goddamn thumbnail. Big fan, love you long time, !
Brian Limond, aka Limmy doesn’t even really do comedy anymore. He literally livestreams PS4 gameplay on UA-cam every so often and he plays lots of games, such as Fortnite, GTA, Overwatch, and more. He also does vines, but vines aren’t comedy. Here’s his channel if you’re curious: ua-cam.com/channels/Z8Ql34vQn91fzq0xvG9Pqg.html
My fave Limmy's Show sketch is the one where he's a phone in choose your own adventure tv host and gets increasingly depressed about how the people calling in are losing everything to try and win the game and no matter how much he tries to prompt them in the right direction they make the wrong choices. It's so pathetic as a way to live and so, so funny.
imo sense8 is the best netflix show right now but dirk gently is close behind also, it's not on netflix but you should watch Legion. It's an xmen tv show that is incredibly well written, has beautiful cinematography, interesting characters and a mystery that slowly comes together to form a masterpiece. you never really know what's real and what's a figment of the protagonist's mind. It's quite similar to dirk gently, i think you'd like it!
American vandal, brilliant. Limmys show, literally one of the greatest pieces of comedic art ever created. People just do nothing, outstanding. Now there was a little clip from the thick of it in there. Why not the thick of it!!! The tv shows available in the uk and in there loop is available in the us. One of three best tv shows ever created
I'm still not over Deadwoods ending. Check that out if you haven't. Still rumored HBO may finish it with a movie due to a lot of the actors willing to participate. But the 3 seasons were great, either way.
I urge people to watch the short-lived British version of Dirk Gently instead. It's much closer to Douglas Adams' vision and is way funnier, more intelligent and better cast than the American one.
@@Spamhard I'm not saying don't watch the American one. Just recommending what I believe to be a superior version. No one has to follow what I say because I'm just a guy on the internet. I just think the British one needs move love and recognition
+Sean M The British one is pretty good, I'll give you that, but I found the American one to be really entertaining, well acted and having some pretty well structured plots. I don't think one is better than the other, personally, they both have their own pros and cons. There's just a few too many people too quick to jump on the stereotypical "oh the book is much better than the movie!!!!!!!!!" trope in these comments, lol, which is how your initial comment kind of comes across as to me, especially when using phrasing like "instead" which holds a totally different meaning than saying "I urge people to watch the British version *as well*".
Dirk Gently is shite. I do not get why people like it. The UK version was miles ahead of the Max Landis' overacting one. If only the BBC didn't dump it on BBC Four at daft o' clock. The UK one was actually funny, the story was in line with Douglas Adams' style of humour and it was bit silly but still smart in its writing. I only watched 4 episodes of the US version and I couldn't suffer any more than that. It was TERRIBLE. The guy playing Dirk is like that child who is screaming constantly for his Mammy to notice him.
jakepaulthiccboy ́ Yeah, most don't know about it, it is pretty hard to get a hold of now. I keep looking for it on streaming services but it is never on them. I did see an upload of the last season's episode on UA-cam once but that episode wasn't really that good, the one when Dirk revisits his old university professor. The first two seasons are quality TV comedy. It is so typical of the BBC. They had a great show and they never even gave it a chance to succeed.
Punkster Mangan is such a good casting I really struggled to get into the US one, and I really liked the new actor from before and his part in Twelfth Night. I still haven't watched the second season.
as someone who never read the book I enjoyed the us show A LOT. I think the trick is not to have prior expectations, it probably works better if you treat it like an original instead of adaptation
I just wanted to say, I just watched Dirk Gently, because of this video (I'm in the US, it was on Hulu) and I fucking adored the ever living fuck out of it, even if it is so childish and surreal in plot, that the bridge scene in episode 3 made me end up pausing the episode to take in the fact that "okay, so they are actually fucking doing this". I was about to go on to season 2, but decided to hold off, and see if my brother might be interested, considering we used to watch Doctor Who and other shows together (it's been a while). I think he'd like it, too.
I never read the comments so I didn’t know it was possible anyone could complain about this channel. NEVER and I means NEVER stop being your wonderful, negative (actually just accurate) self. God bless.
So thrilled that the next gen has discovered the next gen! Question: if you wanted to convince someone to watch TNG, and they said “I’ll watch one episode to decide if I’ll watch the series “, what episode would you show them? Also, do let us know when you come to appreciate Deep Space Nine. There are several UA-cam videos that will give you the top episodes to watch to decide if you like it.
Well, I've been watching "The Limmy Show" thanks to you. What I find most mindblowing is it's been recommended to me by Netflix and none of the picture captions or even what they had written led me to think the show as such a subversion. I've always liked comedians with a message and he's clearly got one. And he's clever. I don't know what led you to think the guy on the couch is a stoner. Well, if he is a "Stoner" it can't be from weed alone. But on the other hand it also appears to be a lot of apathy. You don't particularly need drugs to end up in that behavior. You just need to exist in a system that helps pay for your house, cable and some food in an area with no means of really financially growing to become an apethic someone just getting through each day to get through the next feeling like you're acheiving nothing but later realizing you've been thinking and observing a lot more than others get to. Which made me laugh because I've been there more times than I'd like to admit. However, every time I've been there I couldn't afford drugs. Food's more important for the most part. But at the same time I was on prescriptions that really messed with me. Now I also have a similar past with addiction and especially love the bit with "Jacki?" and how she says she lost 3 years to heroin and 7 to the methadone clinic. That methadone's pretty much even worse than whatever you might be doing before you get on that, and having a constant dose daily for so long makes your body depend on it and if you thought you knew what withdrawal was like. Get ready, the longer you've been on methadone the harder and longer the withdrawal will be. It's way worse than what I replaced it with, which was given to me by doctors until my chronic pain no longer was a viable reason to get them and at the time I thought I was sick. But honestly, I was fine. Especially to the comparison to when I flipped out at the methadone clinic for wanting me to come more than once a week and so I told them I quit, spent some time in hell and came out feeling clearer and better than I had in a long time. It feels like I lost years to it, but it wasn't too horrible. Only about 4 in all. All and all I've been able to kick almost everything but cigarettes. But the pain pills got in deep to a level I convinced myself I wasn't hooked. But my body thought otherwise and it stops helping the pain after like a month, from there it's just about not being sick on top of the pain. Oddly what really motivated me to quit the methadone clinic was learning that opoids inhibit the body's ability to absorb calcium. And one of the first things my counselor talked to me about was his wondering why everybody complains about their teeth going bad. I had a toothache at the time and a healthy fear of dentists to boot. So maybe that was why. But in 2 years I was going there my teeth went from kind of bad to, Holy shit this hurts!!!! And I started wondering about the same thing after a while. He thought it was from the dry mouth and that probably doesn't help. I believe it has more to do with the calcium absorbtion. Either way my teeth were certainly decaying at a rate I've never had to feel before. I'm actually finally getting them fixed, turns out my insurance isn't as accepted as a year ago and with the lack of sleep and eating I've been up to, I found it harder than it should be to find a dentist that not only accepted my insurance, but one that wasn't too far away to make sure I could get there in time. (I lost 3 weeks to waiting for an appointment hours away and I ended up passing out just as I was about to leave and woke up late at night wishing I didn't crash out when I did. But I had been up for 2 days from the pain. I'm still in the pain but I've changed how I think of it. It's more a feeling I'm just feeling now and not this built up pain I've had for years. But thinking that way is also how I managed to get myself through the withdrawal and here I am with every reason to take pain killers and nobody's even offered me any. I'm even going to the very dentist who made me scared of dentists as a kid. Novocain works on me, but only if they inject it in an area that hurts like hell when they poke me or it will just numb my face and I can still feel everything in my teeth. He didn't like that when I was a kid and just stopped using the Novocain all together. It felt about the same, but the guy was pissed. And if there's one thing I've learned about dentists. Never get them angry before they are about to drill your teeth and also never go to a dentist while in jail. I thought I could save some money since I was thrown in there for an unpaid fine. (And I found this funny because I've gone to jail for 2nd degree burglary for going to a party that I left because they started to vandalize stuff, but I didn't name any of them when one of them got in trouble and said I was responsible, I basically have a felony for not turning in more people. But also a (tampering with a motorvehicle charge) for putting super glue into a guy's car ignition who used lies to get at my girlfriend at the time. I spent 90 days in jail for that. Anyway, I was in jail. I thought, they would have to pay for my dental then! So I showed them my bad tooth I wanted fixed and ended up going the very next day. And was treated like complete shit the entire time. I was surprised they made me wear the orange and then they shackled my hands to my waist as well as my feet. I entered the waiting room with the gaurd and there was a mom and her daughter and the Mom called to her daughter which made me think... Gosh, this probably looks like I did more than not pay 300 dollars I didn't have. Anyway, the dentist didn't treat me much better. He even screwed up and as he said "woops" I saw a stream of blood shoot out my mouth across his face. He didn't seem to care about "me" at all, so I was kind of glad to at least be able to squirt him with blood. So, all and all. The guy on the couch. I've been through that before and after my dance with opiates. It had more to do with frustration at a system that doesn't seem to want me to be a part of it. Frustration that I can't afford to take my ex-wife to court to hopefully get them to stop garnishing my wages, when I get wages which isn't so much lately because I've realized I can make more by not working plus I'm not supporting my ex-wife and I know how much I'm going to get each month instead of working my ass off to find out I made basically 2 dollars an hour once I get my check. Or 3 at the most, depending on the amount of the check it changes. If I make more they take more, but if I work a certain amount of hours under overtime it's a sweet spot where I get almost 70 percent of my check! But basically minimum wage or 10 dollars more doesn't change my income by much. Sometimes just makes me work harder for less. I managed a gas station as my last job and really had a break down after handing out the paychecks and seeing that I made less than everybody and worked twice as much. Both in all I was doing, and simply the time I was there. That was a 60 plus an hour job and my checks were almost 200. Lets say one a job gets shitty I don't have much reason to stay so I've never had troubles telling bad employers to shove it. I hope there's a further episode calling the guy a stoner or him thinking about himself being a stoner because so far he's all about not making assumptions about who someone is by how they look. Because of an awesome movie, I call doing that "Scanning darkly". It's one of the worst things about humanity. It's also in all of us, you can just become more aware of it and just not let your brain do it and everybody starts looking more unique after a while. Keep it up until your concept of beauty crumbles even. But my concept of beauty was forcibly destroyed by someone I thought of as beautiful when I first met her. She did not look beautiful by the time she left with everything I had up until then. Nor was I sad she took everything I had, I was happy she was just gone! But she wasn't really, she's still bothering me. Just not so physically close, which is nice. I don't have to dodge random projectiles she never once admitted to (or ever admitted to any of the things she obviously did. That still gets to me that she could shrug off things she just did so easily and never ever admit to any of it. She's always the victim. She convinced me the guy she was living with was abusive and wanted me to steal all his things, but I didn't even though I thought he deserved it. I'm glad I didn't though, she just uses that story to get guys to help her. It's the same story she told the guy after me who found me to apologize for helping her steal all my things. It was nice hearing him repeat my own story back to me about all that he had been going through and that she never admits to any of it. I'm like.. Yep.. . Death Threats? She didn't start that until 6 months for me. Wow, she's going faster now! It's been 15 years, but some day I'll afford to take her to court. It's sad that it costs so much to seek justice. They have all the evidence they need too! They took my DNA when I was in jail. They can use that. I had to put an order for protection against her which was never violated. If her story is true, one of us needs to go to jail for an obvious violation. But the court system doesn't care and won't look unless you pay for the filing fees and charges to get the ball rolling to the point I can finally say "Look at all this shit! How did this even start? What did she say to you guys?!"
And if anyone says I should seek therapy about her. I've been there, they agree it's all messed up and agree that it's sad that we have to pay literal money to seek justice. And none would help me with the money part. But they would all nod to what I'm saying and reflect back my own words and tell me it will be alright and stuff like that. Or put my faith into something I never was raised to believe, that's the fastest way to make me walk out of a therapists office too. And I'm done with the anti-depressants. Those just seemed to accelerate my own state of apathy I was in. I'm better internally, and the fact I've nothing material to point at to say why I'm happy makes me happier. Hell, my teeth are in horrible shape and I can't even say the agonizing pain I'm in is making me unhappy. It's been giving me hyper focus on almost all I do. Because it's focus or feel. And screw speed, good old fasioned pain keeps me up for days! It's almost like I'm taking Adderall or something, only I'm not. I just hurt way way more than normal and 24/7 until next Monday hopefully. I've been in that damn dentists chair twice in the past 3 weeks, each time I had to coax myself into facting it. And I was there, I was ready! I was even listening to the drills and the people in pain and told myself "I'm next!" Just to end up with them poking things and cleaning them and telling me they are all horrible and even telling me a little of what is going to be done in a little bit. Then to find out I have to make another appointment after I was sitting there ready! This last time I was certain they were going to. I thought they had no more excuses, but nope. Next Monday now. If they don't then, I'm... Crap, they are the only place! I guess they can keep putting me off all they want, I can't drive so I can't really go anywhere else. I hope they don't know that. I'll act like other dentists are bidding on me next time, like I'm some amazing pet project or something. I'll be like "They are willing to sedate me for free!" and then maybe I could just be knocked out when they are pulling out the 3 or more teeth. (3 a couple weeks ago, but the longer I wait the worse they get.) Ah, life's fun. :D That's my eventual toothless smile. Not for quite a few years, but someday.
My favourite joke from Dirk Gently is the fact that the 'Rowdy Three' has four members. This, I think, is completely in line with the humour seen throughout Douglas Adams' work (the man who wrote the Dirk Gently book the show is based on). It's what made me trust that the show understood its source material and would develop, rather than diminish, Adams' genius
What an awful list. You really are the worst content creator on here. You didn’t even put The Mist on there. This is why I make much better videos than you. Get good or get out.
Fuck Netflix, the new mist looks like time wasting shit like most to all of netflix shows
The Mist is garbage
Definitely. That's why you're watching them
Jenifer Joseph r/whoosh
Where is Black Mirror!!!!!!!!!
They have to make another season of Dirk Gently!
I don´t know, if this counts as a hidden gem, but "Mindhunters" is fantastic
Super fantastic. I was counting the days since the first trailer because of that actress from FRINGE
OPEN MIND I know! Mindhunter made me feel like I was watching a movie and was really creative in making the audience feel things with the characters, like Holden’s anxiety
Oh hii Simon XD Dirk Gentlys really Needs a third Season! I love the show and its characters! The plot is awesome in both seasons... I really dont get why the quotes were that low… :/ They really should consider the Netflix quotes as well… I really hope they will continue the series… It deserves it!
OPEN MIND Warum
OPEN MIND hallo Simon
American Vandal was fantastic.
I'm embarrassed to admit that it took me a while to realise it was a mockumentary, though.
It's because it is executed so damn beautifully!!!
It seemed so real to me that I honestly had to google if it was real or not after watching before I could be sure.
new season in 1-3 weeks
It's almost as realistic as the UK office
Beautiful list, gonna cross the border to watch Dirk Gently
24 Frames Of Nick it's a good one
It's amazing. So funny and smart yet also tragic in a way.
You are everywhere
The whole thing is on Hulu
The show is so brilliant. The dirk gently books are too, definitely check those out.
Rip Benny Harvey, miss you big man. Gone but not forgotten.

Great background music choices 🔥
CDTVProductions what was the last one?
as soon as I heard Kanye I went to make a comment
Keep it thoro
ua-cam.com/video/WgEtUuEK-to/v-deo.html last one
Didn't expect to see your Scottish ass here lmao, there's also like an admin protest or some shit in your Amino idk
dont tell me Bojack is a clickbait goddangit
Yes dirk gently's is one of the greatest shows ever
Lilliana Rose Elizabeth I really liked the first season, wasn’t a fan of the second
I liked it more after I watched the second season twice
As a high school student in 2018 I can safely say American vandal is a perfect portrayal of modern teenagers. 10/10 watch it now
You've convinced me to watch star trek I hope you're happy now
Romulus Numa ditto
Just finished season one so good.
Just you wait, man... by the time you get to season 3 and 4, you'll be amazed you once thought season one was even worth watching. TNG gets SO good later on.
Implying I'm not already on season 4

WHERE THE HELL IS BOJACK HORSEMAN MR. PIX!? :,(
Huh, Dirk Gently is apparently not on American Netflix. Sad. Love the use of Cudi
Casey Pierson Its on Hulu. Get your free month and binge it. Please! I want a third season.
Okay, I have said this in a comment above but I'll be lazy and copy/paste it here too.
Dirk Gently is shite. I do not get why people like it. The UK version was miles ahead of the Max Landis' overacting one. If only the BBC didn't dump it on BBC Four at daft o' clock.
The UK one was actually funny, the story was in line with Douglas Adams' style of humour and it was bit silly but still smart in its writing.
I only watched 4 episodes of the US version and I couldn't suffer any more than that. It was TERRIBLE. The guy playing Dirk is like that child who is screaming constantly for his Mammy to notice him.
F*%K THAT!
avolea
Yes, I have a different opinion, why do you feel the need to engage with me if this is oh so tiring for you? Is it because you like the show, perhaps? :'( Diddums.
If there are multiple versions of the same source material, then you are going to get comparisons, so toughen up. The world isn't your echo chamber.
Punkster Just gonna fix this for you: "In my opinion Dirk Gently is shite." There we go :D
avolea
I'm not the one who finds it "Tiring," Though, am I? So no, the same logic cannot be used against me. I am not the one complaining about hearing different opinions, YOU ARE! I was voicing my opinion, you are welcome to disagree and share yours but you are the one who says you find it tiring. Are you new to UA-cam comments or something? This is usually what happens, people with differing opinions engage. I prefer respectful discourse, you clearly do not.
This is like talking to a child.
You say you agree, yet this was your response? You couldn't just have said that, you had to claim how tiring it was hearing someone who disagrees' opinion? The problem lies solely with you, mate. I am not telling others what to think or what to like, I am voicing my opinion, same as everyone else and I copy pasted because I noticed what I said in my own post could apply here, which I already explained. Why is that so ridiculous? Seems like you are looking for anything to justify your original, childish outburst.
Comparing things that are based on ONE source material is strange to you, is it? So, do you think that those who compared Ghostbusters 2016 with the original were just being strange do you or is there a good reason to compare them?
Look how much you are trying to justify what you said, that is what is really ridiculous. It is a shame as well, if you weren't such a reactionary, we could have had a civil conversation. If it wasn't too tiring for you, of course.
You can tell it is the defenders of the show who are siding with you as well because your whole argument is total shite, so it cannot be that.
@Spam
My opinion is my opinion, you can't fix anything when there is nothing to fix. Your comment is shite. :)
Yeah Dirk Gently is a ton of fun. Its idiosyncrasies both story and character wise are quite endearing. Do you like the second season more than the first? I find the first season to be a bit more focused and as such I think I prefer it over the second season. I'll defintiely give Limmy's show a watch that seems right up my alley. I've been quite enjoying the expanse recently on Netflix. A scfi which is a hybridization of different narrative modes such as, detective mystery, political thriller, character driven space opera thrown in with some engaing action and set pieces. It has great production value and there's a lot of organic world building with an engaging central conflict to boot. You might like it. Bojack Horsemen if you haven't given that a watch definitely do so as well.
Omega Reviews I do not think anyone can like Dirk Gently Season 2 more than Season 1.
I had actually been put off from watching Dirk Gently due to how Netflix advertised it to me, and I’m starting to wonder if his effect affected others as well. Watching it now it is a beautiful show, so I don’t see any other reason for why it should «fail» in gathering views.
Omega Reviews definitely watch limmy’s show
i almost forgot how much i liked your videos
Fellow Millenial here, Star Trek TNG is lit bro
WHERE THE FLIPPING FRICK IS THE RANCH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
too good to be on a list
Alex Gharibian he made a video talking about how it sucked
Oh wait nvm that was somebody else
Zuffin - No no no no non no no no. No no no no no! It was alllllllll sarcasm. We are in on the joke and you are not. To be fair, you do need a high iq to understand These videos. I am very smart. Can’t you tell?
Alex Gharibian is there a meme circle here I am unaware of? And now that I think about it, nitpix might've just deleted the video
To remind you, Limmy's show is the source of "But steel is heavier than feathers."
My personal favorite on Netflix is Mindhunter
so happy to see limmy’s show get some of the recognition it deserves, so bloody funny. yet more quality content from my favourite little boy in the whole wide world.
Dirk gently is freaking amazing. So is wild wild country. This list is great
Well it's not on Netflix (which makes me cry every night) but it's called Legion. It's a marvel TV show that not a lot of people know about. I really like the writing in it though, and the characters are pretty good too. And the cinematography is also really nice. Yes I really love this show
What about The ranch?
we don’t speak of the ranch
lmaooooooooo
oof I haaaate the ranch, its so painfully unfunny
Peep Show-oh... sorry. But of course you watched it, I saw a clip of Mark at the start. We just need more outside the UK to witness its beauty.
Hey Nit Pix! I think you should totally check out a British tv show called “The End Of The F***ing World” It’s just 8 episodes, 20 (or less) minutes each. It’s about 2 damaged teens running away from home. The cinematography is just beautiful and it’s definitely not a teen show like “13 reasons why”. I think the show did a great job with the characters and the interactions. I totally recommend you to watch this addictive and quite unique show. Hope u see this comment ;)
Edit: NitPix changed the thumbnail. When i saw it didn’t have any pictures of The End Of The F***ing World and I didnt notice he put the two main characters’s faces in the thumbnail. It would be interesting if he did a review tho.
I watched that show and I mostly liked it. I appreciated how short it was. It never wasted screen time, and the characters felt pretty fully developed despite how short the series is. I definitely recommend it because even if someone doesn't like it, it's so short that it doesn't waste much of your time. My biggest complaint, however, is the ending.
SPOILERS The "gunshot cut to black" at the end was really cliche. I'm not saying it came out of nowhere, the show definitely built up to it, but it's an overdone cliche nonetheless. Also, I have to admit I'm a bit tired of shows with sad endings. I used to be fine with subverting the stereotypical and unrealistic "everyone lives and is happy" kind of ending, but these days, I feel like there's enough sadness in the world that I could use a bit more happiness in the TV and movies I watch. Just my two cents.
njdss4 Yeah I agree. There’s a season two coming out and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I actually liked the ending. I prefer the comic book ending than the show ending tho. In a way, they couldn’t exactly do a happy ending. The cops were after them and the story had to end some way, not a happy one tho cause in a situation like that, i dont think thats possible.
I loved it, I just hope they aren’t gonna milk it’s success and make an unnecessary second season
TurquoiseCrow Yeah that’s exactly how I feel too. I don’t know how they could really continue the story, honestly.
H 3 I absolutely loved The end of the f***ing world. It kinda gave me Moonrise Kingdom vibes. It’s a reminder of how dangerous humans can be when they’re alone, especially teens. It was overall great and no cliches wich i appreciated
The Bee Episode of Black Mirror. That's it. Don't watch any other part of Black Mirror. Only the bee episode.
Bee Movie but it's actually a Black Mirror episode
God, Dirk Gently is such a quality show. I've watched it a few times through, and even the small things serve to fit with the hollistic atmosphere. I managed to spot (spoilers, I guess? Not really, though) the squeaky toy's eyes change colour occasionally in season 2, and thought I was going crazy until it was explained later in the plot haha
Good fun to watch, though- planning on forcing some of my friends to watch it with me at some point :)
After 2 secs of seeing American vandal, I paused the video and binged the entire series in one siting. This series was honestly excellent. You get attached to soany characters and feel for all of them. It never feels obvious who the culprit is (still isn't at the end). It brings up really good questions about a lot of social issues (social media, how our education system fails to cater for difficult children, personal identity and self-image, how we always try to find a definite answer and jump to conclusions and how that can affect people's lives). The show makes you laugh with its ridiculous settings and overall comical characters but there is always a very reason for each plot point and for the development of a very wide cast. Not to mention the acting was actually quite solid. Overall would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to have a laugh while reflecting on some important questions!
In the hopes that enough people will miss those show and they continue like Dirk Gently's through your videos i have a couple shows i want to see continued or expanded.
-"Galavant" from 2015 was an amazing two season fantasy comedy musical which was unlike anything i've seen ever. It was really fun to watch and it must had been a pain to make it not only funny but also have musical elements in it!
-"Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" is a one season series based on a book about 2 wizards helping England win the Napoleonic wars. It's fantastic how well it handles wizards in a non fantasy world and even though i don't remember much about it now I would had loved to see more of it.
Now i'll go honorable mentions mode because fuck you look on your own if you like these.Also they might not be on netflix.
"Wrecked "
"Vice principles"
"The Wizards of Aus" --
"The guestbook"
"The magicians "US version
"The Orvile" (with the hopes it gets better and becomes the new Star Trek)
"Son of Zorn"--
"People of Earth"
"Penny dreadful"--
"Preacher"
"Legion"(the marvel series)
"Constantine"(again the series)--
"F is for family"
"Ash vs the evil dead'(the series once more)--
-- Means Dead/Ended from what i know
All those are series I would gladly say have or had something good going on. I hope you make a second video and it includes some of them. With a name like yours I can easily see you going full "watch mojo" you FRAUD!
Also even though I loved Dirk Gently's can I say the first couple moments with his character was the most frustrating thing ever!?Thank you...
son of zorn is utter shit
Can’t agree with you more when it comes to Star Trek NG, only just finished watching all episodes, and i’m just going to start all over again.
If you get bored of that I encourage you to watch the Orville you might have already seen it but if not watch it. Its got a kinda rick and morty feel to it. Some episodes have shit pay offs but most episodes steer u in the direction in which u would want it to go.
Broadchurch deserves a mention for how good it is at making you hate the mother, who's child was murdered.
Michael Doherty second seasons pretty good to. Also David tenant is an amazing actor.
Michael Doherty
Is that her that is going to be playing The Doctor in the new Doctor Who? I'm not a fan of her at all.
...why did you hate her? Poor woman's son's been killed, she's gonna be angry and irrational.
Shows a lack of empathy in my opinion.
Really I loved broadchurch but you hated the mom? I thought she was hot for an older women lol.. I never like older women but damn . Also watch bloodline it’s slow but give it a chance ... fucking amazing !
I’m catching up on your backlog, and seeing your Totally Not RennsReviews Intro was a pleasant surprise
This channel is way to positive. You should try to be more negative in your future videos
I was hoping he talked about bojack horseman
‘Limond’ not limmled LoL
hey, what about Marvel's Daredevil?
Deep Space 9 is the best Star Trek show
Fight me
Boi have you ever seen the animated series?
Mishpãré Urśhjìlk
No actually xd
I agree. It was also the last good one
Enterprises last seasons were actually great
whether that makes up for the first half is another thing
Enterprise is a tragedy because it got cancelled just as it was getting really good. DS9's good when it introduces The Dominion.
Im so happy to get some representation for limmys show.
I expected peep show, everyone should watch this masterpiece!
Lol, it is great.
How dare you put BoJack horseman in the thumbnail but not mention it
Mad respect for the Bbng instrumentals
Came here expecting to see Bojack Horseman and Happy on this list because of the thumbnail. A little disappointing tbh.
Anyway, I would definitely recommend both of them to anyone who hasn't seen them.
I need American Vandal Season 2
It's pretty unlikely, but I'd love to see another show that takes up the same spirit. If there's a season 2 it would probably be an anthology, which I could totally dig
jon99867 they anounced a second season like 8 months ago. Check Netflix's youtube channel
Comentador 443344 omg how did I not hear about this. That’s awesome!
jon99867 ikr
I am 24 years old, watched all of Star Trek the Next Generation last year, and absolutely loved it. It is one of those shows that expresses so much creativity and invokes thought. I find myself thinking about it or relating to things in my life to certain episodes. I love Picard and Data, they are awesome.
We arrr thu poooOOOOOOOOlis
Hey mom, I'm on TV 00:14.
if you like Limmy's Show you should like Burnistioun and/or Chewin' The Fat (I don't know if it's on every netflix around the world(
y’all should watch Peaky Blinders. Easily one of the best shows on Netflix.
idk toilet I could not finish 3 episodes
moli kadu couldn't even finish the first episode
Ok, although I’ve been watching TGN since I was a kid, in discussing the show after a recent rewatch my friend and I have agreed that every episode is secretly about Data.
Inside no 9
Glad to see you promoting Limmy's Show!
Just thought i'd add that Dee Dee actually says "See as I was walking out" and not "seeing as I was walking out"
Limmy's Show is not available on NetFlix in the Netherlands :/
Fuck! No Wasters either!
CircleOfSorrow There are some full episodes up here on youtube :)
PoisonTheOgres
Ta buddy!
so glad u mentioned toast of london and limmy, even more enjoyable after a smoke though! on seires 3 of TNG too. have u watched orville though? (not that its on netflix :(
Accurate title for this video "here's a bunch of British tv shows I like"
Chase Weeks should’ve had black mirror, but limmy is a different class
British Vandall's my favorite
Do you guys have Mindhunter on UK Netflix? It's a dialogue-driven drama about the FBI agents who first came up with the idea of "serial" killers and the reasons why they kill.
Bojack Horseman is one of the best shows of all time. If you're not going to talk about its genius don't put it in the goddamn thumbnail.
Big fan, love you long time, !
1. Voltron: Legendary Defender
Brian Limond, aka Limmy doesn’t even really do comedy anymore. He literally livestreams PS4 gameplay on UA-cam every so often and he plays lots of games, such as Fortnite, GTA, Overwatch, and more.
He also does vines, but vines aren’t comedy.
Here’s his channel if you’re curious:
ua-cam.com/channels/Z8Ql34vQn91fzq0xvG9Pqg.html
If Ozark isn’t on here we’re gonna have an issue. Same with End Of The F***ing World.
End of the F***ing World was great. Too short, wanted more :(
Stunfisk also DARK
Limmy's Show is amazing, so underappreciated - no even that hard to understand outside of Scotland, which is a wee shame.
Now top 5 worst
My fave Limmy's Show sketch is the one where he's a phone in choose your own adventure tv host and gets increasingly depressed about how the people calling in are losing everything to try and win the game and no matter how much he tries to prompt them in the right direction they make the wrong choices. It's so pathetic as a way to live and so, so funny.
imo sense8 is the best netflix show right now but dirk gently is close behind
also, it's not on netflix but you should watch Legion. It's an xmen tv show that is incredibly well written, has beautiful cinematography, interesting characters and a mystery that slowly comes together to form a masterpiece. you never really know what's real and what's a figment of the protagonist's mind. It's quite similar to dirk gently, i think you'd like it!
Amy Thompson it's pretty sad sense8 got cancelled
American vandal, brilliant. Limmys show, literally one of the greatest pieces of comedic art ever created. People just do nothing, outstanding. Now there was a little clip from the thick of it in there. Why not the thick of it!!! The tv shows available in the uk and in there loop is available in the us. One of three best tv shows ever created
Limmy!? That's Thom Yorke mate
I'm still not over Deadwoods ending. Check that out if you haven't. Still rumored HBO may finish it with a movie due to a lot of the actors willing to participate. But the 3 seasons were great, either way.
5:20 aye well he’s Scottish
I havent heard anyone talk about American Vandal before. It was such a frickin' roller-coaster ill tell u wat.
I urge people to watch the short-lived British version of Dirk Gently instead. It's much closer to Douglas Adams' vision and is way funnier, more intelligent and better cast than the American one.
Yeah, how dare one version be different from another. Fuck variance.
@@Spamhard I'm not saying don't watch the American one. Just recommending what I believe to be a superior version. No one has to follow what I say because I'm just a guy on the internet. I just think the British one needs move love and recognition
+Sean M The British one is pretty good, I'll give you that, but I found the American one to be really entertaining, well acted and having some pretty well structured plots. I don't think one is better than the other, personally, they both have their own pros and cons. There's just a few too many people too quick to jump on the stereotypical "oh the book is much better than the movie!!!!!!!!!" trope in these comments, lol, which is how your initial comment kind of comes across as to me, especially when using phrasing like "instead" which holds a totally different meaning than saying "I urge people to watch the British version *as well*".
American Vandal honestly had no right to be as good as it was. But definitely worth my time. Ending was sad though.
Dirk Gently is shite. I do not get why people like it. The UK version was miles ahead of the Max Landis' overacting one. If only the BBC didn't dump it on BBC Four at daft o' clock.
The UK one was actually funny, the story was in line with Douglas Adams' style of humour and it was bit silly but still smart in its writing.
I only watched 4 episodes of the US version and I couldn't suffer any more than that. It was TERRIBLE. The guy playing Dirk is like that child who is screaming constantly for his Mammy to notice him.
Punkster didnt know there was a UK version cheers
jakepaulthiccboy ́
Yeah, most don't know about it, it is pretty hard to get a hold of now. I keep looking for it on streaming services but it is never on them.
I did see an upload of the last season's episode on UA-cam once but that episode wasn't really that good, the one when Dirk revisits his old university professor. The first two seasons are quality TV comedy.
It is so typical of the BBC. They had a great show and they never even gave it a chance to succeed.
Punkster Mangan is such a good casting I really struggled to get into the US one, and I really liked the new actor from before and his part in Twelfth Night. I still haven't watched the second season.
as someone who never read the book I enjoyed the us show A LOT. I think the trick is not to have prior expectations, it probably works better if you treat it like an original instead of adaptation
Punkster it's good stuff
I just wanted to say, I just watched Dirk Gently, because of this video (I'm in the US, it was on Hulu) and I fucking adored the ever living fuck out of it, even if it is so childish and surreal in plot, that the bridge scene in episode 3 made me end up pausing the episode to take in the fact that "okay, so they are actually fucking doing this".
I was about to go on to season 2, but decided to hold off, and see if my brother might be interested, considering we used to watch Doctor Who and other shows together (it's been a while). I think he'd like it, too.
Season 2 of Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency is one of my favorite seasons of any show ever
Limmy’s Show is awesome. It’s like a show from adult swim but really Scottish.
i didnt know limmy's show was on netflix! thank you, nitpix, much love
I loved American Vandal. It's probably my favorite mockumentary
Scotland has always been creating really surreal humour. Watch chewing the fat. 'Mon the fish
Omfg, THANK YOU for listing American Vandal 😆😆 literally all my opinions for this gem
I never read the comments so I didn’t know it was possible anyone could complain about this channel. NEVER and I means NEVER stop being your wonderful, negative (actually just accurate) self. God bless.
So thrilled that the next gen has discovered the next gen!
Question: if you wanted to convince someone to watch TNG, and they said “I’ll watch one episode to decide if I’ll watch the series “, what episode would you show them?
Also, do let us know when you come to appreciate Deep Space Nine. There are several UA-cam videos that will give you the top episodes to watch to decide if you like it.
I would like to see you do a review on the show "On My Block", it's available on Netflix and I personally think that it's great.
Thanks for recommending American Vandal. It was fantastic. I'm looking forward to season 2 a lot.
List needs more Voltron.
did you just clickbait me using bojack horse man!
The fucking end of the world huh do u think that’s a good series
Murican Vandal season 2 is exellent. Go watch it now.
12:45 *the conspiracy episode in the admirals of Starfleet*
I love limmys show it's criminally underrated
Well, I've been watching "The Limmy Show" thanks to you. What I find most mindblowing is it's been recommended to me by Netflix and none of the picture captions or even what they had written led me to think the show as such a subversion. I've always liked comedians with a message and he's clearly got one. And he's clever. I don't know what led you to think the guy on the couch is a stoner. Well, if he is a "Stoner" it can't be from weed alone. But on the other hand it also appears to be a lot of apathy. You don't particularly need drugs to end up in that behavior. You just need to exist in a system that helps pay for your house, cable and some food in an area with no means of really financially growing to become an apethic someone just getting through each day to get through the next feeling like you're acheiving nothing but later realizing you've been thinking and observing a lot more than others get to. Which made me laugh because I've been there more times than I'd like to admit. However, every time I've been there I couldn't afford drugs. Food's more important for the most part. But at the same time I was on prescriptions that really messed with me. Now I also have a similar past with addiction and especially love the bit with "Jacki?" and how she says she lost 3 years to heroin and 7 to the methadone clinic. That methadone's pretty much even worse than whatever you might be doing before you get on that, and having a constant dose daily for so long makes your body depend on it and if you thought you knew what withdrawal was like. Get ready, the longer you've been on methadone the harder and longer the withdrawal will be. It's way worse than what I replaced it with, which was given to me by doctors until my chronic pain no longer was a viable reason to get them and at the time I thought I was sick. But honestly, I was fine. Especially to the comparison to when I flipped out at the methadone clinic for wanting me to come more than once a week and so I told them I quit, spent some time in hell and came out feeling clearer and better than I had in a long time. It feels like I lost years to it, but it wasn't too horrible. Only about 4 in all.
All and all I've been able to kick almost everything but cigarettes. But the pain pills got in deep to a level I convinced myself I wasn't hooked. But my body thought otherwise and it stops helping the pain after like a month, from there it's just about not being sick on top of the pain. Oddly what really motivated me to quit the methadone clinic was learning that opoids inhibit the body's ability to absorb calcium. And one of the first things my counselor talked to me about was his wondering why everybody complains about their teeth going bad. I had a toothache at the time and a healthy fear of dentists to boot. So maybe that was why. But in 2 years I was going there my teeth went from kind of bad to, Holy shit this hurts!!!! And I started wondering about the same thing after a while. He thought it was from the dry mouth and that probably doesn't help. I believe it has more to do with the calcium absorbtion. Either way my teeth were certainly decaying at a rate I've never had to feel before. I'm actually finally getting them fixed, turns out my insurance isn't as accepted as a year ago and with the lack of sleep and eating I've been up to, I found it harder than it should be to find a dentist that not only accepted my insurance, but one that wasn't too far away to make sure I could get there in time. (I lost 3 weeks to waiting for an appointment hours away and I ended up passing out just as I was about to leave and woke up late at night wishing I didn't crash out when I did. But I had been up for 2 days from the pain. I'm still in the pain but I've changed how I think of it. It's more a feeling I'm just feeling now and not this built up pain I've had for years. But thinking that way is also how I managed to get myself through the withdrawal and here I am with every reason to take pain killers and nobody's even offered me any. I'm even going to the very dentist who made me scared of dentists as a kid. Novocain works on me, but only if they inject it in an area that hurts like hell when they poke me or it will just numb my face and I can still feel everything in my teeth. He didn't like that when I was a kid and just stopped using the Novocain all together. It felt about the same, but the guy was pissed. And if there's one thing I've learned about dentists. Never get them angry before they are about to drill your teeth and also never go to a dentist while in jail. I thought I could save some money since I was thrown in there for an unpaid fine. (And I found this funny because I've gone to jail for 2nd degree burglary for going to a party that I left because they started to vandalize stuff, but I didn't name any of them when one of them got in trouble and said I was responsible, I basically have a felony for not turning in more people. But also a (tampering with a motorvehicle charge) for putting super glue into a guy's car ignition who used lies to get at my girlfriend at the time. I spent 90 days in jail for that. Anyway, I was in jail. I thought, they would have to pay for my dental then! So I showed them my bad tooth I wanted fixed and ended up going the very next day. And was treated like complete shit the entire time. I was surprised they made me wear the orange and then they shackled my hands to my waist as well as my feet. I entered the waiting room with the gaurd and there was a mom and her daughter and the Mom called to her daughter which made me think... Gosh, this probably looks like I did more than not pay 300 dollars I didn't have. Anyway, the dentist didn't treat me much better. He even screwed up and as he said "woops" I saw a stream of blood shoot out my mouth across his face. He didn't seem to care about "me" at all, so I was kind of glad to at least be able to squirt him with blood.
So, all and all. The guy on the couch. I've been through that before and after my dance with opiates. It had more to do with frustration at a system that doesn't seem to want me to be a part of it. Frustration that I can't afford to take my ex-wife to court to hopefully get them to stop garnishing my wages, when I get wages which isn't so much lately because I've realized I can make more by not working plus I'm not supporting my ex-wife and I know how much I'm going to get each month instead of working my ass off to find out I made basically 2 dollars an hour once I get my check. Or 3 at the most, depending on the amount of the check it changes. If I make more they take more, but if I work a certain amount of hours under overtime it's a sweet spot where I get almost 70 percent of my check! But basically minimum wage or 10 dollars more doesn't change my income by much. Sometimes just makes me work harder for less. I managed a gas station as my last job and really had a break down after handing out the paychecks and seeing that I made less than everybody and worked twice as much. Both in all I was doing, and simply the time I was there. That was a 60 plus an hour job and my checks were almost 200. Lets say one a job gets shitty I don't have much reason to stay so I've never had troubles telling bad employers to shove it.
I hope there's a further episode calling the guy a stoner or him thinking about himself being a stoner because so far he's all about not making assumptions about who someone is by how they look. Because of an awesome movie, I call doing that "Scanning darkly". It's one of the worst things about humanity. It's also in all of us, you can just become more aware of it and just not let your brain do it and everybody starts looking more unique after a while. Keep it up until your concept of beauty crumbles even. But my concept of beauty was forcibly destroyed by someone I thought of as beautiful when I first met her. She did not look beautiful by the time she left with everything I had up until then. Nor was I sad she took everything I had, I was happy she was just gone! But she wasn't really, she's still bothering me. Just not so physically close, which is nice. I don't have to dodge random projectiles she never once admitted to (or ever admitted to any of the things she obviously did. That still gets to me that she could shrug off things she just did so easily and never ever admit to any of it. She's always the victim. She convinced me the guy she was living with was abusive and wanted me to steal all his things, but I didn't even though I thought he deserved it. I'm glad I didn't though, she just uses that story to get guys to help her. It's the same story she told the guy after me who found me to apologize for helping her steal all my things. It was nice hearing him repeat my own story back to me about all that he had been going through and that she never admits to any of it. I'm like.. Yep.. . Death Threats? She didn't start that until 6 months for me. Wow, she's going faster now!
It's been 15 years, but some day I'll afford to take her to court. It's sad that it costs so much to seek justice. They have all the evidence they need too! They took my DNA when I was in jail. They can use that. I had to put an order for protection against her which was never violated. If her story is true, one of us needs to go to jail for an obvious violation. But the court system doesn't care and won't look unless you pay for the filing fees and charges to get the ball rolling to the point I can finally say "Look at all this shit! How did this even start? What did she say to you guys?!"
And if anyone says I should seek therapy about her. I've been there, they agree it's all messed up and agree that it's sad that we have to pay literal money to seek justice. And none would help me with the money part. But they would all nod to what I'm saying and reflect back my own words and tell me it will be alright and stuff like that. Or put my faith into something I never was raised to believe, that's the fastest way to make me walk out of a therapists office too. And I'm done with the anti-depressants. Those just seemed to accelerate my own state of apathy I was in. I'm better internally, and the fact I've nothing material to point at to say why I'm happy makes me happier. Hell, my teeth are in horrible shape and I can't even say the agonizing pain I'm in is making me unhappy. It's been giving me hyper focus on almost all I do. Because it's focus or feel. And screw speed, good old fasioned pain keeps me up for days! It's almost like I'm taking Adderall or something, only I'm not. I just hurt way way more than normal and 24/7 until next Monday hopefully. I've been in that damn dentists chair twice in the past 3 weeks, each time I had to coax myself into facting it. And I was there, I was ready! I was even listening to the drills and the people in pain and told myself "I'm next!" Just to end up with them poking things and cleaning them and telling me they are all horrible and even telling me a little of what is going to be done in a little bit. Then to find out I have to make another appointment after I was sitting there ready! This last time I was certain they were going to. I thought they had no more excuses, but nope. Next Monday now. If they don't then, I'm... Crap, they are the only place! I guess they can keep putting me off all they want, I can't drive so I can't really go anywhere else. I hope they don't know that. I'll act like other dentists are bidding on me next time, like I'm some amazing pet project or something. I'll be like "They are willing to sedate me for free!" and then maybe I could just be knocked out when they are pulling out the 3 or more teeth. (3 a couple weeks ago, but the longer I wait the worse they get.) Ah, life's fun. :D
That's my eventual toothless smile. Not for quite a few years, but someday.

american vandal is amazing, thanks a lot for the list
Bojack Horseman was IN THE THUMBNAIL
I really love American Vandal, it’s so freaking good that I binged the whole two seasons in 2 days
I want more peaple to see this becase more peaple need to watch Dirk Gently, becase we need another season. and the showmakers deserve all the money!
I’m so happy American Vandal and Dirk Gently are on this list! These shows are amazing and are not talked about enough. Highly recommend!!
My favourite joke from Dirk Gently is the fact that the 'Rowdy Three' has four members. This, I think, is completely in line with the humour seen throughout Douglas Adams' work (the man who wrote the Dirk Gently book the show is based on). It's what made me trust that the show understood its source material and would develop, rather than diminish, Adams' genius
Think genius might be a stretch.
