Tried watching this show a couple years ago and it didn't take for some reason. Decided to try again this weekend and now 4 eps into season 1. Love it.

I’m on episode 7 of season 1 and I feel like some of the handycam shots during family gathering scenes is reminiscent of some arrested development shots

i did think that some of the writing was as bad as billions at times but still enjoyed it
agreed on both counts

i still believe Greg? winds up running things in the end.

I love how he absolutely fails at speaking like what he believes a smart person sounds like

I felt that was maybe the best episode of the series so far. Just incredible having all the kids in one room hashing shit out. So well written and each character just shines at what they do best.

Add Cousin Greg? seeking legal advice from a 1st year law student....

Oh man. What a show!

I love it but I hope the series ends with them all on a plane flying into the side of a mountain.

The most recent episode was one of the best in the series.
Spoiler: show
Not sure how many times they can pull off the "Logan feeling ill and everyone panicking" storyline though.

That party was uncomfortably good
Sometimes I wanna drive around and find you

I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of the Greg? and Tom scenes.

Love ‘em.

i liked how they had all clearly taken a lot of drugs by the end of the episode, but never showed anyone taking drugs.
