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.

Season 2 is brilliant. Its funny, its fucked up and it has a lot of heart. Amazing.
I'm really hoping that the drug-dealing kid who takes care of his grandad becomes a regular character. I was howling when he punched the woman in the face in E2, but then you really start to feel for him as the episode goes on.
Oh there is more coming from him. Its brilliant the way they use him in the series.

One thing I like a little more about VP over Eastbound is that there is a counter to McBride's dominant personality. Goggins is just as much alpha male so it's a different dynamic than KP and Stevie.

Oh yeah...and his arc in season 2 is brillant. The same with McBride´s character.

Binged season 2. Very good. Still crushing on Busy Phillips all these years after F&G.

Yeah, that's how it was always going to be.
This show was one of the funniest things ever though.
