This season was great.

Easily the best yet, I think.

I really didn’t enjoy season 1 at the time but I wonder if I’d feel differently now.

Halfway through the third season and it seems like this is finally about to get moving, hopefully to something more interesting. The set up has felt pretty dragged out. And it's definitely the least interested i've been in the characters. But hey i'll take a Goggins and Posey any day.

I would have bet millions of dollars I have seen Sarah Catherine Hook in multiple other things, but looking at her IMBD there's nothing else. I see she's from Alabama so maybe I dated her once or something.

She's got a real Brie Larson thing going on. You're probably thinking of Brie Larson

I don't think I can keep up with the Hollywood lifestyle. Or any lifestyle.

The point is that they are terrible people. It's a sort of satire. And it's definitely worth watching. The show operates and delivers on so many levels. The performances are always wonderful. The direction is fantastic. The writing is usually great. It's smart and thoughtful and well made.

And again, you're supposed to hate these people. And watching what happens to them and the pickles they get themselves into is part of the appeal.

That’s as good a ref as I could have hoped for thanks pal. I’ll get to it.

Yeah, terrible. Just an unbelievable string of awful creative decisions.

I did like the ending montage even though it seems completely disconnected from everything that just happened.
