I'm excited. This is probably my favorite show that's currently airing.

They released all of the episodes except the finale to the critics and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. They also agree that it’s bleak with only a few laugh out loud moments. I’m looking forward to 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.

it was hilarious. Him posting that envelope and getting caught was also a highlight.

I like where this is headed. I love how fucked up Barry is. Also loved that scene with Sally at the dinner.
