knew that was coming from wayback when he told him he didn't want to get into drugs aka The Godfather :wow:

then in this ep, he publicly disrespected him aka broke his balls...Goodfellas :wow:

Rudy had to go and now he the top of that crew, the Machiavellian maneuvers :wow:

anyway, show has picked up tremendously since ep4 but that was to be expected with a DS show

Candy breaking down was a great scene :wow:

Abbi gotta lotta nerve to ask of shyt from Vince when she is basically roommate status with him at this point.

Vincent heading for that same fate as his brother now especially with Rudy out the way :sadcam:

Big Mike...hate it had to be you breh :francis:

gentrification of NYC being pushed into drive

the hoes becoming self-sufficient :leon: that 1980's onlyfans wave by cutting out the middlemen

Yeah it's been a excellent season, definitely picking up steam and will be a show like the wire that will be appreciated more after its over.

It was good to see Big Mikes character grow from being an intimidating mute drunk to a potential bar owner, i knew he would catch something knocking down all that Bussy..:dame:


Again I really hate the Candy character, she so damn pretentious and she goes from being a uppity street whore till now being with a rich tyc00n and slobbing down her co director. Once one always one, her character makes the show unwatchable in some ways to me.

Rudy was pretty honerable in the show, Frankie should've just given him a piece like he wanted.

Blank frankie is a good asset to the show.

Chris the cop(played de angelo barksdale) character shows no depth, he started out as devout married beat cop family man, now hes sleeping around and trying to cut shady business deals around the city.

Overall a good show but only two episodes left in the series, I can see how its gonna end. But overall I have enjoyed it..

The performance Maggie Gyllenhaal gave telling Candy’s backstory was great, but I just can’t seem to give a shyt about the Candy character. I just don’t care about what she wants, and I’m not even sure what it is she actually does want.

She just carries herself with this vibe of being smarter and better than everyone in to room, and nobody ever really challenges her. Even if they do, a scene later they’re saying sorry to her.

The only person that kinda gave her a run was that angry looking feminist a couple of episodes back who tore her to pieces, but even then all she did was leave, light a cigarette and say “fukk it!” and Maggie Gyllenhaal sashay down the street and she hasn’t really taken any lessons from it.

*sashay in*

“I’m a REAL feminist.”

“No. I’M a real feminist.”

“Fine! fukk it! GOD I’ve got to make this movie better!”

*sashay away*

She hasn’t? Candy’s entire story these last couple episodes has been about her coming to grips with the reality of the business she’s in. Remember that scene where she asks Harvey what happens to all the girls who “age out” of porn? Her dialogue with Harvey in this last episode? It’s all a reaction to her being called out.

But every little lesson she learns or every time she's called out she funnels it into her movie - a movie we're not going to see - then Candy the person doesn't seem to be change. The thing that keeps changing is the plot or concept of her film.

I understand that someone can channel their feelings into their work, but in terms of her external actions, she's pretty much been doing the same shyt and acting the same way since she left the street. Not to downplay that because it was a huge character development, but it feels like ever since then she's been running in place and we're supposed to be rooting for her, but what are we rooting for?

I feel like a part of this show lost something, especially with the women. I used to know what they wanted, or at least knew what was motivating them.

Even Vince's wife - they have this open relationship, and she's unhappy with Vince, but she doesn't appear to be super happy with her side-chick GF or any other fukk buddy enough to leave, and she doesn't seem to want to really be with Vince. So what does she actually want?

Everything doesn't need to be cut and dry or obvious, but I just find myself watching some scenes waiting for them to be over and move on to someone else's storyline.

Maybe it's just me. It probably is. But I still like the show. It's well written and a well told story.

Candy can't have a happy ending right? She just cheated on dude that was willing to look past the fact that she's a ho. Or they in an open relationship?

Loved season 1 and 2 but not digging this season at all..Its all just kinda aimless. Maybe thats the point with the 80's being the hangover from the 70's but meh. I'll still watch it through but don't really care too much how it ends at this point
