This is GREAT. Can’t believe it’s not getting more publicity.
I want to be Jeff Bridges when I grow up.

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.

Totally agree. Felt like the show was up its own ass. Worst ep so far.Ensign9 wrote:I wasn’t a big fan of most of episode 5. Felt like a lot of on-the-nose, overly speechy monologues. Acting still great but I was watching the clock for a lot of this.

That ending WAS a rather risky gamble.tragabigzanda wrote:This was very uneven. Saw the twist coming like four episodes ago. Did not foresee the unsatisfying ending, since it didn’t get a S2 order until after it started airing.
Everything with Bridges, Lithgow, and Brenneman is really great. Everything with Shawkat, Bonilla, and Lubany is like network TV bad. 50/50 I stick around for S2.
