You can hate on the writing or acting all you want but if your hating on the aesthetics then you simply have bad taste.
The show is beautifully shot, sets are beautifully designed, and everything flows perfectly.

Show is trying to do too much, Richie is not that interestingHe confirmed it this episode that his mom is half black.
ads a new dynamic to the show
He's a 1/4 Black Italian cokehead murdering philanderer trauma victim and he's still not as captivating as the music on the show
The Watcher
Judging you from afar
Bobby Cannavale is doing a great job playing a junkie a$$hole, but his character is at a rock-bottom point who's history is more interesting than what's happening currently in the show. I think Richie is going to be more interesting when he finally cleans up a little and starts dealing with his wacked-out life bullshyt.

he's doing a good job, sure. i just don't find the character interesting
i wanted to watch a show about the record industry in the 70s, not this dude's fukked up life. this is OD anti-hero
a show with jackie gervais as the protagonist woulda been much more entertaining to me.

Imo the foundation is set now.
We now know what makes the protagonist tick. What demons he has..
We know that they're not selling the company.
We know who the lead guitar is gonna be for the nasty bits....
Everything is ready to move forward now. In my view.

i get that they were not trying to just make Mad Men: 1970s but a lot of this could have been revealed slowly over time and made more interesting
it might be ready to move forward but is it going anywhere interesting? i'm concerned there's no intrigue left now

To youYes he is
I know people like that in real life, some of whom actually lived through the 70s on a coke binge, I find most of them insufferable and needy as fukk. All that bravado is hiding a lack of personality
But let's keep it tv. Richie is nothing compared to the first 6 episodes of mcnulty, tony, walt, don (and I'm a known mad men hater), even nucky, fukk it even gip rosetti

This, and I don't think Ray Romano is getting enough credit.
As a whole, I think this is the point where the show picks up steam for me, I like their take on kind of the birth of punk rock and considering that hip-hop is basically being made in that same era, (I think that's where the season is going to end) I'm excited. But I do agree, I like the noise and happenings of the musicians way more than the personal struggles of Richie Finestra.
On a sidenote: I'm digging Olivia Wilde and that classic 70's bush of hers. I never found her all that attractive until watching this show, in general.
