I actually think that episode would have benefitted from a better pre-episode "how we got here" lead in. I know on GoT that lead in sometimes is a spoiler, but in this case they could have reminded us of the names of all the guys they were going to reference.
and I actually agree with Vinyl Guy to an extent, outside of some of the painful monologues earlier in the season, I have really enjoyed Vince Vaughn in this quite a bit.

Been off work sick for a couple of days, so binge watched this and really enjoyed it so far. Not on a par with season 1, but enjoyable in its own right
