the shot of the courier parking on that bridge with the city lights in the background was amazing. The culverts under the bridge made it look like a Wes Anderson setpiece at first, but man was that a beautiful shot

To be fair, Mecca's post which actually contributes something to the discussion probably deserves to be at the top of a page more than Chud's meaningless post-whoring does.

I was disappointed in season 2. By the end I was rooting for Jimmy to fail. He's so clueless and unchanging.

Too much wasted time and filler.

The stuff with Mike was better, but it didn't really go anywhere either. At least it was entertaining.

Kim is so saintly I assume something terrible will happen to her eventually.

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.

And the cupholder thing was too on the nose.

Actually, thinking about that, he sometimes comes off as legitimately retarded.

The newest episode was probably the best one yet I think.

Spoiler: show
They are occasional fuck-buddies, who haven't made the deeper emotional commitment of which they are both conflicted.
I think it's been made clear that they're a couple.
Yeah they have a murkier past (probably closer to the fuck-buddy thing, where they couldn't bring themselves to commit) but I think it's pretty clear that they're a couple now
