Hamm playing himself was fucking hysterical!
Him trying to leave to get back to the Mad Men set and not being allowed to leave was great!
For those interested, Season 1 has been added to Netflix and its in HD.

Season 2 wrapped up (I think it was the finale for good). Can't say I liked it that much, it just took a nose dive when Dave turned out to be more than just a prankster. Alice deserved better too.
First season was gold but it just really didn't work for me this season.

Yeah, I was shocked about the Alice thing.
The Jon Hamm stuff was fun, however.
Mark Heap was a nice surprise.
It was also good to see Russ Tamblyn (Riff from West Side story) playing Todd's dad.
Overall it is kind of a funny ending, considering that it is a departure from every other show where things kind of work out, somehow.

Not sure I cared for the ending. I love dark humor, but the dark material here just added shock value, no humor for me. The North Korea stuff was anticlimactic because they teased it all season. I did like the reveal about why Dave did it, and the Will Arnett courtroom stuff was great.
I think this second season had plenty of great moments, but I think the show worked better in season one when it just seemed like Todd was a bumbling idiot with horrible luck. Revealing that he was being set up to fail sort of took some of the fun out of it for me.

The season got too dark at the end and lost some of its charm as it wore on.

Completely agree with DRG and PhantomStranger. This season had some great moments (Todd getting alice the job at the restaurant) but I prefer Todd the bumbling idiot as opposed to Todd vs the powerful noble with a revenge plot.

I guess I liked how it wound things up, very clever and unique for sure, but I likewise didn't like parts of it, like Todd killing Alice. The Dave storyline I did like, as well as Todd choosing Korea because he liked sushi. Clever overall, but I'm not bummed it's over either.

I have to disagree. I thought season one was hit and miss, but season two was on fire (sometimes literally). I loved Spike Jonze doing his Sherlock schtick, Will Arnett knocked it out of the park, and the Mountford stuff worked because it made it seem like everything would work out in the end, so when it didn't, it was even funnier.
I didn't catch the Alice thing at first, but now it makes the line "I'm not sure her heart is in the right place" even better.
Season two was smart, ballsy, and hilarious. I loved it.

I was not expecting that. Maybe they'll go for a Sledgehammer solution to the world ending.

Yeah, I was very surprised to see a tweet from Sharon Horgan about a new season. Looking forward to it!

Loved season one.
Not crazy about season two.
Hope this means they had a good idea for season three.
