I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

S1 or S2? i've no way to access S1, so i just dove into S2.
Is S1 no longer on Hulu? Because if that's the case, then I don't have access to it anymore either. But that's where I watched the first two episodes.

No Hulu in this house. Maybe the library has S1.
Ah. Yeah, I was watching on Hulu. Loved the first to episodes of the series but then my wife got caught up in other stuff so it's been on the back burner. Can't wait to get back into it. I hate that I'm fallen off.

After sitting on my dvr for a couple days, that was different. It was definitely not what I was expecting but with this show you never know. And being on dvr I didn't realize there was no commercials until over midway through.
And no, I didn't catch on who was under the makeup until after the fact. :oops:

The newest episode with the girls at Drake’s house didn’t do much for me, but holy shit the Teddy Perkins episode was fucking weird.
