When the umbilical cord breaks, that’s every bit as funny as the best Stevie moments.

YES!!

I wonder what the budget is for these episodes. One of the things I'm loving about the show is how cinematic every episode feels in everything from cinematography to production design (some of these sets are insane) and even action scenes

Judy Gemstone
Eli Gemstone
BJ
Keefe
Baby Billy
Jesse Gemstone
Tiffany
Kelvin Gemstone
Amber Gemstone

I finished season 2 today. That's the fastest I've gone through a show in a long while. Really loved it.
Also, I enjoyed the finale but was disappointed with one thing
With how much they were building both of them up over the course of the season, I was really primed for a God Squad vs. Motorcycle Ninjas showdown
