I dont believe Ive ever used it in conjunction with a show that wastes a great idea.

But the lack of imagination displayed here merits a break with tradition.

It rarely delivers anything like a philosophical gut punch, even though the possibility regularly presents itself.

Hard Sunis a series that cares about everything except the most original and fascinating aspect of its own existence.

Six hours later, the treasure is still in the earth.
