Top...eight TV episodes of 2018

So the plan was to do a top ten of TV Episodes this year. I had two more on here, but felt they didn't deserve to be on this list so I dropped...BAM. Just like that. I won't mention the episodes because I don't want it getting back to the creators of these shows (I mean I am sure all three people that read this have connections.

So ... to the list!

8. Good Place Episode 10 - Janet(s)
D'Arcy Carden played everyone in this episode and she pretty much killed it. Such a great way to end the season

7. Always Sunny Episode 13 - Mac Finds his Pride
I didn't think this season was as amazing as past seasons, but the fucking ending of this episode was one of the gutsiest things I've seen on TV in a long while. Rob McElhenney was just something man...

6. Barry Episode 8 - Know your Truth
This show started off super slow, but by the end of it I was just blown away. I won't spoil to much, just know the ending was certainly something.

5.  2018 World Series Game 5
Red Sox win the World Series. That's all I got there.

4. Atlanta Episode 5 -  Barbershop
This episode backed with Teddy Perkins (which is on this list) made two weeks of the best TV I can remember. Brian Tyree Henry not winning any awards for this is stupid and makes me realize voters are stupid. I never knew getting a haircut would involve stealing wood and left of Zaxby's Chicken.

3. BoJack Horseman Episode 6 - Free Churro
A monologue, by an alcoholic animated horse, about the death of his mother, that he gives at her funeral, which just so happens to be the wrong funeral, and starts off by him talking about how he got a Free Churro. Seems pretty realistic to me.

2. Atlanta Episode 6 - Teddy Perkins 
Not sure how much more I can say about this episode that already hasn't been said. It was a masterpiece of TV, and we had a mention of the Google search 'Sammy Sosa hat'.

1. Succession Episode 10 - Nobody is Ever Missing
For a show that I adored this finale was perfect. The whole cast, every story, everything on this episode was amazing.

Top Ten TV Shows of 2018

Here it is everyone, the moment you've been waiting for, my top ten TV Shows of 2018. I watch a lot of TV so this list will be pretty perfect. I do have to mention though, two shows that I haven't watched this year, Killing Eve and The Americans, probably should be on this list, but again I didn't watch them so fuck off.

10. Sharp Objects - Well this show fucked me up pretty good. Wild ending, great performances.

9. Daredevil - Look I am a comic nerd, and this was probably one of the best comic stories on TV (and maybe the movies). Plus this Kingpin is the only one we will ever need.

8. Glow - It's no Foxy Boxing, but damn this show is good.

7. Homecoming - Great show, great performances, and I love the way it was shot. Plus 30ish minute episodes are great.

6. The Good Place - Somehow this show is still as good as the first season, which I didn't think was going to be possible, I am glad I was wrong

5. The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story - Another fucked up show, and even though I knew the story this was just an amazing watch. Darren Criss was creepy as fuck too.

4. Barry - That ending though! and Fonzi!

3. Succession - All I need is a quote to sum up this show. "It's cool, though, 'cause it's like I didn't cheat 'cause all the sperm stayed in my own body. Like a closed loop system."

2. BoJack Horseman - It's a show full of puns that is depressing as shit at times. Oh it's also about an animated horse...and somehow it works.

1. Atlanta - This is number one and it's not even close. You have funny episodes, scary episodes, fucked up episode, serious episodes. You basically have everything you could want for a TV show. The fact that it doesn't win all the awards confuses the fuck out of me. Also Bryan Tyree Henry was the real TV MVP this year.

Lagers...you guys

To be fair, you have to have a very perfect palate to understand Lager. The taste is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical brewing most of the flavor will go over a typical drinker’s palate.

There’s are also the Lager brewer’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization- of their personal philosophy draws heavily from Horst D. Dornbusch literature, for instance.

The lager fans understand this stuff; they have the tasting capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these beers, to realize that they’re not just beer- they say something deep about LIFE.

 As a consequence people who dislike Lagers truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the flavor in a Perfect Pilsner Urquel while sitting in a cafe in Prague which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons.

I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Vaclav Berka’s genius wit unfolds itself in their beer glasses. What fools…how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, I DO have a Budvar (no not Budweiser you pelbs) tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 points of my cicerone test (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid
