Ranking the Sex and the City Seasons and Films

Sex and the City is one of the most important television shows ever. I had a mildly unusual experience watching the show. I watched most of the show when I was 13-15 years old, and I did not watch it week to week but sporadically on-demand and out of order. So, before re-watching the show in 2023, I had seen just about every single episode but really had no concept of when things happened. Besides the end. Boy, did I ever remember the end of this fucking show. This column will rank all movies and seasons of the Sex and the City world.

Ranking the Girls Seasons

Lena Dunham is incredibly annoying and a bad a person for multiple reasons. Many such cases. Fans of art have long had to pretend we do not care about the various transgressions of artists. We should care for sure. I think we can also engage in the art that they made along the way and keep the context of who they are in mind to see if it helps to illuminate what is going on with their art.

Ranking the Star Wars Television Seasons

I have a sickness. I really deeply love the idea of Star Wars. I also love the original three films of course, but the idea of Star Wars is something I find intoxicating, and I have spent an ordinate amount of time reading novels and comics and watching movies and shows that almost entirely prove…that the idea of Star Wars should have died in 1983. It’s all a long way to say that I have accepted that Star Wars is functionally not good no matter how much I wish it was. But sometimes you need to kill time with garbage on in the background and that is what the Disney+ Star Wars shows are for.

Ranking the Danny McBride Television Shows

Danny McBride is not an artist I have ever been especially drawn to over the years. Whenever I dipped my toe into his world, I never felt like it was for me. For some reason though, I felt compelled to give Gemstones a proper chance finally. And I was blown away by how much I enjoyed. Danny McBride has relatively quietly become one of the best television producers on HBO’s roster. They do not really gets awards or ratings. They are not even huge discourse drivers. They are high quality though and worth watching. Here is how I have the shows ranked.

Ranking The Righteous Gemstones Seasons

Danny McBride is not an artist I have ever been especially drawn to over the years. Whenever I dipped my toe into his world, I never felt like it was for me. For some reason though, I felt compelled to give Gemstones a proper chance finally. And I was blown away by how much I enjoyed. He is how I rank the seasons (so far).

Ranking the Dune Adaptations

The Dune book series adaptation must be so incredibly tempting and for so many reasons. A space opera series that will eventually build to the hero becoming an oppressive dictator? Who could want anything more? After going back through every Dune adaptation (that has happened so far), I think I can safely conclude that some books are just not meant to be adapted into movies or television shows. It’s been approached in a number of ways, and none of them are all that inspiring. I am however a sicko and will keep slopping up this shit.

Ranking the Frasier Seasons

Frasier kind of feels oddly forgotten and overlooked as one of the great sitcoms of the last forty years? Maybe my perception is skewed a bit, but it just seems the show does not get discussed or referenced as much as it should in comparison to some other huge hits from that time period. Whatever. Anyway, here is how I rank the seasons. Continue reading Ranking the Frasier Seasons
