My wife and I binged this over the last week, and it's so, so good. Didn't realize S3 is just around the corner!

We had to watch the recap a few times to piece together what happened the last season. It's been a long time.

More drama than laughs in the opener. Nice job on the fake ending before the last 60 seconds, which I first thought might taken place in Barry’s mind. I definitely want to see where it goes.
Great job by Hader, who also directed. Cool tracking, nicely choreographed shot midway through.

Hader is great, all around. I also love the NoHo Hank character. Dude is gold.

Agreed Noho Hank is my absolute fav--Hader is fantastic too. This was def a weirder episode, didn't really grab me after first watch but better after a second.

He needs to go on The Watch. One of the best TV/pop culture pods out there.

Man, I cannot remember what happened between Barry and Sally last season, but her dynamic seems like she hates him and has something over his head?
