You can get the finale on demand, I kinda agree, but at least this show is a half hour or less. If it was an hour I would have dropped it a while ago.

Going to be interesting where they take this next season. Will there be a next season? Has it been renewed? Will it fast forward until when Marty is out of prison(probably 1-2 years), with Genie running a successful company? Will Marty come back and work for her or start up a new company?

Not sure if it was intentional, but this show is now on the same "up one season, down the next" pattern like Entourage did. They should aim to be less predictable because that pattern really got stale toward the end for the other show.

House of Lies (Showtime) - Season 4 Thread - premieres 1/11/15
On the season finale of HOUSE OF LIES, we last saw a despondent Marty (Don Cheadle) alone in the desert after a cataclysmic double-cross by Jeannie (Kristen Bell) and a visit by the Feds. This season, Marty's brief stint in white collar prison leaves Jeannie to pick up the pieces of the now tainted Kaan & Associates with Clyde (Ben Schwartz) and Doug (Josh Lawson). Client flight has decimated the bottom line, but Marty is now a man with a singular focus: winning, at any and all cost. Larenz Tate returns as Marty's brother Malcolm. Guest stars include Mary McCormack, Demetri Martin, Alicia Witt and Valorie Curry. HOUSE OF LIES is the hit half-hour comedy series from the hit tell-all book House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Tell You the Time by Martin Kihn. HOUSE OF LIES stars Cheadle (Iron Man 3) in his three-time Emmy-nominated and Golden Globe-winning performance. Bell (Frozen, Veronica Mars) plays his razor-sharp partner, along with Emmy winner Schwartz (This is Where I Leave You); Lawson (Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues); Emmy winner Glynn Turman (In Treatment); and Donis Leonard Jr. (Criminal Minds). Produced by SHOWTIME, HOUSE OF LIES is created and executive produced by Matthew Carnahan. Jessika Borsiczky, Don Cheadle and David Walpert return as executive producers for season four.

It looks like Kristen Bell was very pregnant with her 2nd kid during filming. Her 2nd kid was born in December.

Bell is pregnant in real life and pregnant on the show, but it still looked like she was stuffed up with prop. Maybe she was not yet 8-months pregnant and they had to make it look as if she is.

Who wants to bet that Jeannie is full of shit and the baby belongs to Marty?
This episode was a little confusing, especially with the time jump and then the flashbacks to Marty in jail.
I guess the focus of this season will be for Marty and his cohorts to rebuild their name and company since they're all broke.

Been catching up on this. I don't know why I continue to watch... must be solely for Bell.
Any Alicia Witt fans out there, check out episode 5.

Nice, For the record, I am caught up with this before Sunday's episode. There really isn't much to talk about every week. Hence it was a good idea to make this a season thread. I tend to watch this in spurts.
I did like the episode where Emma from The Following guest starred and asked Doug if he liked his ass licked. & then they had sex shortly afterwards.
The episode that had a weird ending was when Doug's wife cleaned him out and then the camera pulled back to a naked chick outside his house. Who the hell was that? Was that his wife?

Yes, when Doug was doing the Absinthe he mentioned she had been arrested twice for naked stalking. I like the show. maybe largely because it is a half hour and only 10-12 episdes or so a year.

House of Lies (Showtime) -- Season 5 Thread -- Premieres 4/10/16
This season, Marty is a man with a singular focus - ascending from millionaire mogul to global dominator. No longer content with fleecing big-money clients, he's upping the stakes in a highly calculated winner-take-all power play that will land him and the Pod - Jeannie (Kristen Bell), Clyde (Ben Schwartz) and Doug (Josh Lawson) - in Cuba. To the victor go all the spoils. Guest stars for the fifth season will include Emmy(R) winner Wanda Sykes (Alpha House) as a love interest for Jeremiah (Glynn Turman); Emmy nominee Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele) as the CEO of a hair care line; and Emmy nominee Ken Marino (Children's Hospital) as a love interest for Jeannie. Emmy nominee Malcolm-Jamal Warner (Major Crimes), John Cho (Star Trek), Donald Faison (Scrubs), and Nicky Whelan (Matador, Franklin & Bash) will also guest star. HOUSE OF LIES is the hit half-hour comedy series from the hit tell-all book House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Tell You the Time by Martin Kihn. HOUSE OF LIES stars Don Cheadle in his four-time Emmy-nominated and Golden Globe(R)-winning performance as Marty Kaan. Kristen Bell plays his razor-sharp partner and mother of his daughter; Emmy winner Ben Schwartz and Josh Lawson as members of his team (a.k.a. The Pod); Emmy winner Glynn Turman as his father; and Donis Leonard Jr. as his gender-fluid teenage son. Produced by SHOWTIME, HOUSE OF LIES is created and executive produced by Matthew Carnahan. Jessika Borsiczky, Don Cheadle and David Walpert return as executive producers for season five.

So as a fan of Veronica Mars, casting Ken Marino as Jeannie's new boyfriend feels kind of creepy.

I hadn't watched the last season, but I caught the first episode of this new season, and I quickly remembered why I stopped watching. I don't think there's been a show where I flat out fucking hated every single character. But this show really does make me hate everyone in it. I get that they're all supposed to be assholes, but man, they just make the characters so hateable, that it's just not fun to watch.
