Another anthology style outside of the series arc? It was good though.
Anyone else notice the episode descriptions this season? “I was legitimately scared watching this”.

Personally, I'm having a hard time with this season. Honestly not into the one-off non-cast episodes, sorry

last episode was wonderful, challenging, smart, weird, polemic. I love it.
Also, kinda cool that these weird sort of earn dreams have that hotel guy in common. He was one of the dudes in the boat in ep 1.

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.

Nice to see a funny episode driven by the main three characters (sorry Van) with a touch of Atlanta surrealism.

I liked this last one, about the phone. Best episode of the series so far. Had me actually laughing at parts.
Question:
- Spoiler: show
- Did Socks steal the phone? Or did he kill the guy that stole the phone but realized that if he gave it to Al they'd know?

The Paperboi plot line in particular was great satire.

Another anthology episode.
This season certainly seems to have less of a buzz.

I feel like a lot of these "prestige" shows lose some buzz after 1-2 seasons.

Unexpected cameo in that last one. First half was kinda meandering but I liked the episode overall by time it finished.
Next week’s looks to be another anthology episode.
