As good as season 2 was, the ending left me thinking "where can this go? and for how long?" :manny: Props to them for giving it an end and not dragging it out for the sake of it.

I just powered through the first two seasons so i could watch the third season live.

Its a good show and im kinda mad i slept on it.

But it does have some problems.

The romantic stuff felt forced. The dialogue at times was too unrealistic. Plot plots happened too conveintly.

Season 1 I felt had better highs but lower lows.

Season 2 was more consistent. But it felt disjointed. It felt like episodes 1-7 were the season and the last 2 were their own special. Hard to describe but it felt strange.

I also felt like the decision to have flash forwards to the lawyer meetings was a mistake. If it had been told in real time the reveal it was fake would have hit hard.

Still, the show has truly great moments and episodes it just wasnt consistent.

Bout to start season 3 now.

Its bitter sweet because I just discovered the show for myself and its ending.

No discussion on this piffery at all? :dahell:

Man, I fukking love this show. This season intro was dope too. Olivia Munn kills every scene that she's in. Crazy how she's gone from being the shows secret weapon to arguably one of it's biggest assets. Her dynamic with Don is dope and her getting a central-ish role in this Season from what it appears will be a good look.

I like how they kicked off the Boston bombings. The Flash Drive in the toilet was corny but fukk it, it worked. The walnut thing was kinda corny too but again, fukk it. Maggie may have kinda slightly got my dikk a little hard when she was presenting that little news segment too. I'm sleep doe.

Mack and Will are really gonna get married? You can tell some poorly executed fukkery is gonna hit that whole arrangement before it actually happens but again, fukk it. We'll wait and see what that is when it happens.

I also like the running up the tree metaphor this episode too. shyt fit nicely. Can anyone explain why Mack and Will were eating chinese out of an unfurnished appartment though? And Bloomberg putting up all that ad money for the constant reference to that Terminal? Lol. The game done changed.

Dope first episode.

Glad they are wrapping this up, never felt it had a long shelf life and there is no reason to drag it out.
