so I found it interesting that Sean Penn and Robin Wright took a 4-day camping/canoeing trip down the Colorado River and disembarked at Lake Mead back in 2010... That had to be a blast! Good storytelling from that 2012 Ed solo show at the Pearl.

Season 5 out today for those that still give a shit. Season 4 underwhelmed, but I'm still going to check the new season. Reviews appear rather positive if that means anything......

I'm sure I'll watch it. I'll watch the whole thing. And all along I'll be asking myself "why."

I haven't gotten around to season 4 yet. I sort of lost interest when the BBQ shop got shut down.

I heard this season was a little better than the last few, but I doubt it.

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.

Well at least it didn't end as bad as Bloodline did. Not all that interested in next season.

I can't watch this. I think 4 seasons was enough.

It is funny that they get real world media people to play the role of the media, not realizing they are playing the fools. Or maybe they don't care as long as they get to be on a tv show.

Just finished the latest season. For the first two seasons this was one of my favorite shows, not anymore.
It's still good, but it's dragging along. This whole series should be on a 'rise & fall' arc. The rise was the first 2 seasons, and we all know the Tom Hammersmith character will be his fall. But come on, speed it up already. This could all been done in max 4 seasons. Next we will be going into season 6, and for all we know it will all be around Claire or Doug. Claire is a wonderfull character, but when the show started it was not a co-lead. And Doug (and all the others) are suppose to be flat characters, just side characters would all add to his rise & fall.

Oh well...

I hate Claire. She went Xenia Onatopp, you never go full Xenia Onatopp.
