This show is fangoddamnfuckingtastic! It keeps twisting when at moments I think it is about to become predictable. I truly felt sorry for Dr. Brown's kids when she questions them about their home burning down.
Neal trying to avoid Ms. Abbott's kiss and him saying "I love you" to her after the blow job LMFAO! That entire scene! Am I the only one that finds "bangs" (Ms. Abbott) to be super fucking hot. She's perfect playing bats hit crazy.
Absolutely loved the drug trip. This show is great. I'm bummed knowing this (according to McBride) is a one and done series but at the same time respect that they won't drag it on burning people out in the process.

I heard it's 18 episodes total, but I didn't hear if they're splitting them up or not. I assume they are.

Thought it was be hard to watch without thinking Kenny Powers the whole show but I really haven't thought that. Love the show. He did say a word where he added an unnecessary S to the end like Kenny Powers does. I wonder if that was an homage to Powers.

Another strong episode. I loved Gamby cursing the students out in front of Dr Brown.

Semantics. In dog years for HBO 18 episodes is a long time, in regular TV that isn't even a full order for one season.
Mcbride had said the story arc is finished (supposedly) and that they wouldn't continue with a series after the 18 episodes are done airing. They aren't going to turn this into a Entourage or Sex in the City where we keep getting season after season for 7 to 9 years. That's what I was referring to. How you want to piecemeal those 18 episodes out to the audience is irrelevant. You could air one episode a year for 18 years and it doesn't make it 18 seasons.

Just got caught up. That tripping scene was absolutely perfect and hilarious! Love the depth we are seeing in these two characters as well. I almost dropped this after Ep3 (the Gamby centric, field trip ep... as it seemed too Kenny Powers-ish) but glad I stuck it out. This show is best with those two interacting and feeding off of one another.

Having a hard time with the show. I think I'm only watching because of Goggins, I have never watched any of his previous shows, he was great in the Tarantino movie though, and I think he's great here too.
At least it's just 30 minutes per episode. I just finished episode 3, and I think I can caught up this week.

Goggins is the best thing about this show
He is so far away from Shane Vendrell
I actually wanted him to turn into Shane to kick the ass of that neighbor fitness bully
Has goggins purposely lost a lot of muscle mass for this role ?

I'm up to date.
Lee Russell is my spirit animal... or something like that.
Yes, episode 1 was hard to watch, ep2 wan't a lot better. I mean both episodes had a few good scenes, but the overall product wasn't great. But episodes 4-6 had been great.

Is Russell supposed to come off seeming a little gay? He's reminding me slightly of his role on Sons.

Or as they used to call them a few years ago: metrosexual.

Not gay, but I heard an interview where Goggins said he's playing him as a sort of modern day Southern Dandy.
yeah, thought it was funny they brought it up. I actually like Goggins more than McBride in this series.

It cracks me up that Gamby hates his ex-wife's new boyfriend so much yet he seems like such a decent guy.
It's a refreshing twist on the cliché of the douchebag new boyfriend that we usually see on tv.

I like how every episode feels different in the type of comedy it brings.

I think Gamby has mentioned multiple times that Ray stole his wife so I'm assuming that adultery is the reason for his hatred of Ray not the fact that he is her new boyfriend.
