and who killed Jason schwartzman? because those two have to be related.

my guess is he was working on a story about Andre as well.

If there’s one thing the McBride shows have in common, it’s that they push you to the brink of being able to root for the leads, and then turn it upside so they’re somehow redeemable. There’s no redeeming the gemstones if they killed someone out of cold blood, so I think Andre is the only other realistic suspect.
Spoiler: show
im sure Eli wasnt responsible, and everything points to Andre, but its kinda obvious too.

Going to watch this again today. I had to laugh quietly because my wife was asleep next to me when I watched last night. This was by far the best episode of the season. In the second scene with Keefe in the box looking through the eyehole, I knew what was coming yet I still watched and laughed very much.

I think laughed the entire episode.

Unbelievable.

Also felt short? Think it was 38 minutes but i haven't been tracking each episode. Maybe it was due to laughing the ENTIRE TIME.

be strong bitch

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.

No, never. I always found Danny McBride to be somewhat off-putting for some reason. But I am thoroughly impressed with this show, and to pick back up on a debate earlier in this thread, yes I think it's better than Succession in every way
