Somehow, mainstream media seems to think this show is "too didactic" - but that reeks to me of fear. Sorkin says exactly what people need to hear; it's time to step back, move forward, and let the professionals do their jobs. He's fantastic at portraying both sides to all key debates; I love the energy and direction of each season, so different and nuanced. A pleasure to watch.
Pure, unadulterated nostalgia, with a heavy sprinkling of satire. From the sets, to the dialogue, to the slew of big name actors - there isn't much here that wasn't perfectly placed. A tribute to both television in the 1970s, and massive arts egos. A touch too much at times - but that's all part of the appeal.
One of the best comedies on TV around right now. Constantly fresh, well paced, and funny. Can't wait to see what comes next.
There is an astonishing scope to this latest outing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; the nature of the format allows for an intimate exploration of the characters in a way that eschews traditional depictions of good and evil and welcomes nuance. That the primary antagonist is given almost equal screentime is a fantastic artistic direction and I am thoroughly impressed by the close detail into which this series takes the viewer.
Revolutionary, intricate, and beautiful, Banana allows you to fall in love for half an hour, every episode, twisting through the complicated modern world of dating, friendship and family. Each new morsel is a revelation, a glimpse into the lives of new central characters that feels fulfilling and satisfying after only a short sojourn. Long may it continue.
