I'd trade every show on FX for Terriers.

You're still upset about FlashForward also, huh?
The main ones that pissed me off were Black Donnellys and Last Resort.

The thing that kills me about the finale is "Nah, let's not tell the family that I am planning coup" Allows sister in law and daughter to go shopping?

starts back up next week. I'll give season 2 a shot only because it ended in a way that should make this season interesting.

Agreed. And I'm shocked that's true. Barry is still terrible. He's just not an interesting character or actor. They've done a good job at shifting the focus away from him directly.

The rest of the cast is pretty good. I still think it would have been more compelling to have more conflict between Jamal and his son. They may be taking that angle now though.

Yep it's still very soapy but they've found a nice balance this year.

Well the finale was pretty good. The show really rebounded this season. I guess its somewhat unlikely that it will be back. I guess you could look at the ending as a cliffhanger but just as easily as a definitive ending.

I think that'll be it. Barry is terrible character, Jamal was quite good.

Yeah, ratings aren't too good, and not sure how they would take the story from here. Barry and his wife are both horrible. I liked Jamal and Leila.

Barry grew on me a bit this season when he was doing the freedom fighter thing. I wouldn't want to watch him be the conflicted president/presidents aid again.

I was hoping they'd just let him rot in jail the whole season and keep his family off the show - though the daughter was hot, notice how she basically got written off the show this season?

I actually thought there'd be more conflict with Jamal and his son, and that his son would somehow organize a coup to take over. He ended up being kind of a weak character.

Yeah I laughed a bit when everyone kept referring to Barry, Molly and the son but not the daughter.

Yeah, first episode was pretty solid. I'm enjoying the dynamic between Barry and Leila.
