Halfway through season 3 and while there are a lot of nice touches, the overall storytelling feels very disjointed

Zahn is nice casting

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm assuming you were talking about season 3 because you said "not as funny as the last couple seasons"

Okay but the Bill Clinton cameo in season 1 was next level brilliant.

I felt the same after season 1. I still love the character, but i'm not sure how they can portray or utilize him best since he's actually kind of a good person compared to the rest
