Hi Myles! I've been following your work in the AVClub and your campaigning for full cups on Twitter for years and was extremely sad to see you go (understandable as it is!). I've been watching Shameless on-and-off over the past year and following your archive of reviews (Season 9 is next, and I don't hate the show yet!) and enjoyed your coverage of Elementary (I should some time finish that show too...), Game of Thrones and a lot more.
I have no idea if subscribing to you long term will be financially viable for me (probably not), but the enjoyment that I've gotten from your content for years make it so that I have to at least give it a try. I don't think I'm watching anything you're reviewing right now, but if that doesn't give me an excuse to try some new shows and get engaged again in weekly commenting (from which I've fallen off over the past few years), I don't know what would :)
Happy to support you here, Myles. I kept reading your Shameless reviews long after I couldn't stand watching the show, and your Survivor reviews in recent seasons have filled a gap I didn't know existed. Can't promise I'll be watching every show you cover, but excited to see what you do here!
Hi Myles! Looks like I missed the initial launch of this space - I mostly follow TV People on TV Twitter, and Twitter makes me sad. But! I'm delighted to be here, now (always nice to have some reading to catch up on). I very much miss the days of fun engaging comments sections and fan forums (Discord servers/communities scratch some of that itch for me now), so this should be a cool experience. I guess I do have some qualms about Substack as a platform (I followed Emily St. James' newsletter over to Letterdrop), but I'm happy to subscribe here for particular people.
I've been reading your work since maybe S4 of LOST was airing live, over on Cultural Learnings, and very recently had the chance to go back to your AV Club Classic series on the first three seasons during a rewatch (RIP everything I loved about the AV Club). I don't know that I love episode-by-episode recaps anymore, but I do love (and miss) episode-by-episode analysis - and I know that's what you do really well! Boo to what the binge model has done to discourse.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that, back in 2008 or 2009, I didn't know that TV Studies / TV Academia was even a thing; it was through folks like you, Cory Barker, and Jason Mittell that I learned about it and was eventually able to follow some of that path myself. I just finished up a PhD in neuroscience, analyzing news and scripted television about neurodevelopmental disabilities. So. Just a big thanks for being a constant television / pop culture presence online for well over a decade. Looking forward to engaging here :).
Finally decided to join the party, I loved reading your recaps of Shameless as I went through them on the treadmill. And we shared out dislike for Frank and Debbie. I still have not watched the final season. But when I break down and do. I will make sure to read your recaps.
