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.

Eh, in a bar like that it could just mean he hit on keno that day.

I loved that scene. I agree it was out of character, but that doesn't mean it was unbelievable. He had just stolen this money, which he ostensibly did to get the cops on Salamanca's tail, also probably a little out of spite; I don't think he did it because he wanted the cash. So why not go to a dive bar and buy everyone a drink? He's been a blue collar stiff all his life, probably felt great to do that just once.

This is way better than I expected. I should have checked this out way sooner!

Great premier.

Nice! Enjoy. S1 takes its time setting up the story, but it's great. S2 is just A+ all the way.
