Frankie needs to be retconned


Like, before tonight's episode airs.

Maybe I have a low tolerance for brats because I just binged The Strain, but that character has no place on my television screen.

oh shoot Max too

I find Frankie interesting. Endearing due to being weird.

Max is the typical teenage character so she is way worse IMO.

reply

I say kill them both and give the little one 3 years to be a decent person or she gets it too

reply

LMAO!

reply

I kind of like her. Hate Max. She's unbearable. I love the little one. She's sweet and just so cute, I could die. But she's probably going to be a bitch too in a couple of years.

reply

If the show lasts that long.

reply

It definitely won't.

I was speaking of the character as if she were a real person lol.

reply

Since it's supposed to be based on Adlon's life, you shudder to think what her (and Louis CK's) real-life kids are like.

What happened to expecting kids to be polite? If I had talked to my dad just once the way the two older ones talk to Sam's character he would have made good on his threat to send me to that Catholic girls' school in Rome with the broken glass bottles glued to the top of the walls that surrounded the school property and the nuns made you go to mass every morning before breakfast.

Not that he ever needed to because I was an angel. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
(He sent me instead to a coed school in Switzerland where they locked the doors at 9 pm, turned off the lights and the hot water at 10 and there was frost on the inside of the windows in the morning).

Sure that's great parenting.

I bet you're a lot of fun at a party.

My dad's job required us to live in the Middle East and there was no American high school in our city, so I had to go to boarding school.

reply

I can't stand Frankie.

The new age, pretentious, hipster, know it all, wannabe artist, I'm so different and special trend.

I just want to take them by the arm and pull them over to a corner and whisper in their ear, "You are not special, you are no different than anyone else and you don't know *beep* about life..."
