I only know who two of those people are. One of them is the main character (Velcoro), and the other has been dead since before ep1 (Caspere).
well Lido is the guy that missed the boat the day he left the shack

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
