EDIT: Man, the people behind this show sure do like The Black Keys

Another great episode. It was slower than last weeks but I love the build-up for future plots.

They managed to make another stellar ending too. I wonder who shot that guy?

TGM

who was the guy who was shot at the end? the other boxer challenging for a rematch?

kstublen

It was the guy from the bakery that gave him the "cake." He was one of the ones that broke into Lights's car and is apparently the one that took the iPod.

SexualPudding

I'd guess that the one cop (who seemed to be a go between for Leary and the businessman) is the one who shot the guy.

Michael T Hudson

That is what I was thinking as well. I really dig the show.

Red Dog

I didn't understand why he broke into the car to begin with. Was it for the package that he previously possessed and gave to Lights? But that doesn't make any sense to me either.

Dave99

plausible deniability? I'm guessing he was forced to pay something he didn't want to pay.

kantonburg

The package had a ton of cash in it. I'm guessing the guy wrapped it up so he knew what was in it so he followed Lights and waited to break in and steal the money.

Red Dog

I already assumed he knew what was in it since he handed the package to Lights. My question is why give it to Lights in the first place in the bakery if you're only going to steal it back?

kstublen

Because handing it over makes it look like you're complying with whatever the arrangement was. If he hadn't been caught breaking into the car, no one would have suspected him and he would've complied with whatever the arrangement was and had the money.

TimeandTide

Loving the show so far. Totally mesmerized by Holt McCallany's performance.

Another great episode. It's almost like the show is a mix of Rocky and a Mob movie. I love the way it's shot and edited. It feels like an East Coast drama with characters from the East coast.

I got a good laugh at the scene with Lights as the spokesperson for the carpet company. So, Is the bimbo-ish Asian chick that Lights brother was banging at the beginning the wife of that Carpet company owner?

And I'm not sure if I missed something, but I saw in the end the cops said the assault charges from the Dentist were dropped. Did they ever explain how?

Axeramm

He delivered the "cake" to that guy hosting the birthday party for his son. He said the DA's son was a guest at the party and he would be sharing with him.

TimeandTide

Or girlfriend.

And I'm sure that that's going to come back to haunt Lights' brother in some way.

Enjoying the show, but it's not doing so hot, ratings wise. Hope it doesn't go the way of Terriers...

I really like this show. Almost love it in fact.

macnorton

Finally watched this last night...awesome! I really like where this show is going.

Also, my home town, Morristown, NJ, got a shout out, although the scenes were clearly shot in Caldwell.

Fist of Doom

Just caught the first two episodes, and I think this show is off to a fantastic start. The whole cast is strong, but Holt McCallany is especially good. The interactions between Lights and his daughters are really well done. It's nice to see a character actor get a starring role and do a great job with it.

Sucks that the ratings are low, but with FX at least we'll get a full season.
