(683 posts)He died in a most unusual way, too: He was in the kitchen, cutting an apple. Evidently, some water splashed on the floor. He slipped and hit his head on the counter and fell into a coma. His wife's brother, a surgeon, tried to save him but botched the surgery. Yikes. That was the end of obnoxious Tom, who tried repeatedly to murder his wife, but she took him back anyway. Wow.

They would show her kids boring birthday parties and they would start crying. (No real acting, just kids and mom crying at a birthday party)
They would show the family watching Power Point presentations dedicated to the fact that she was going to die in the near future.
You just wanted her to die.

My response, "oh I get it, crude mob snuff film with a "valuable package" that has some supernatural/religious connection, the story sucked and the only thing that made it survive was Samuel Jackson". They had a blank look on their face.

(43,174 posts)If so, I'd include all the main characters on The Wolf of Wall Street.
Go ahead and throw in Goodfellas too. Scorcese has a knack about making docudramas about detestable people.
For TV shows, I wasn't a regular watcher of Sex and the City, but on the occasions I did see it, I found the Samantha character to be absolutely unbearable and I wanted her to be hit by a bus.

(43,174 posts)Four women living in New York with their ups and downs of friendship and love and what not.
Except that Girls never asked you to like its characters. And actually the main character--Lena Dunham's Hannah--begged for you to hate her. Hannah was narcissistic and selfish and Dunham went out of her way to make her as frumpy as possible. She was the epitome of an anti-hero. You weren't supposed to like her, but because she was the main character, you were basically forced to bond with her. The other three main characters were similarly neurotic and irritating in their own way.
The ironic thing about Girls is that the male characters on the show were far more sympathetic than the female ones.
But the honesty of Girls made it such a better, more engaging show than Sex and the City could ever be. Better to have characters you're told to hate but end up liking than having characters you're told to love but end up hating.
TexasBushwhacker
(20,174 posts)but at 61, I just didn't find the lives of millenials all that interesting. But kudos to Lena Dunham for making it a success. We need more female voices in entertainment.

Tommy_Carcetti
(43,174 posts)I heard great things about it so I started watching as my latest Netflix binge watch.
And to be honest, I found it to be a little slow--didn't get into it as much as I thought. So far I've made it through the end of Season 2, but it took me over 6 months to get there.
Problem was, I just found all the biker characters from the SoA gang to be rather boring and one-dimensional. Including Jax. Actually, especially Jax, even though he was written to be multi-dimensional.
The characters I did like were Jax's girlfriend, the police chief, his deputy and maybe the Katy Segal character.
Everyone else I really couldn't care too much about.
Do they get better? Should I bother continuing to watch or not? Every time I think I should knock out a few episodes I always find some other show to watch instead.
Flaleftist
(3,473 posts)It took a few episodes for me to get back into it. There may not be a lot of character development, but I did enjoy the story.

But nooooo she was drowning for what seemed like forever and then (if I remember correctly, and I try not to) she didnt actually die.
