Frequency- I expected nothing. It is a pretty cool show.

Ah, I've been actually watching it to. I think the bits about background jokes that reappear [spoiler]like the prostitute who is running around breaking up marriages[/spoiler] are well done.

Bit iffy on the musical numbers too though yeah on the balance they are actually quite amusing.

Big issue for me is the whole [spoiler]Rebecca, Josh and Greg main plot where its like none of you are all that good for one another and too much was spent telling us that Rebecca and Josh are a good fit even though we basically never see that.[/spoiler]

Spoiler tags for this show? :hmm:
[spoiler] I dunno, I think Gregg is pretty well suited for her, that's the way they spin him intentionally it seems. But yes. As awful as Valencia is, Josh is completely unfit for Rebecca.

Second series seems to be going in a odd direction.[/spoiler]

Hey, I mean who knows, perhaps it'd trigger Seeds! :P

Are there movies that are worthy, but not enjoyable?

:yes:

By the way I'm not using worthy to also imply a films moral message crowds out it's artistic merits, for what is worth I see all these films mentions as being good presentations.

There is artistry there, but it definitely lacks the whimsical charm of a Melancholia or Nymphomaniac.  ;)

'Sicario' - not exactly a romp through a meadow of wild flowers, but an accurate portrayal of many a trump supporters view of reality.

Why Trump supporters?
