Finally got around to starting this last week and wanna echo how great it is. The first couple episodes didn't really sell me on it, but once Walter Goggins shows up it really gets into a groove. I powered through the last 5 episodes in 2 days.

McBride does a great job finding empathy in irredeemable people

I feel as qualified as any to confirm that it's Walton and not Walter

that motherfucker goggins had me laughing at almost every single thing that came out of his mouth

I've loved him since Justified but I never guessed just how hilarious he could be at full power

that combined with the fact that he has maybe the greatest character name of all time and repeats it over and over again.

- How many boyfriends will I get?

- Well I dunno like 10, 15 dudes?

- Will they also go down on my butthole?

- Even on your butthole, sis.

- [Tearing up] That's nice.

finally caught up on this. finale was incredible. bj and judy are the funniest comedic paring i've seen in a long time.

the ramp up to them going to confront baby billy following by the smash cut to the montage of them trying to fix the jesus statue was so good. "i thought it was a karate person".

it's good that the show includes a normal person around them in most scenes to call out how weird they are

like the security guard in the final scene where they reconcile, and he's just like 'what the fuck'. made it so much better and weirder.

Every time BJ is on screen I can't help but think of how much he looks like a cross between Glen Campbell and Mike White

it's been a while since I've watched a show and thought about a rewatch so soon after watching.

Loved the whole thing.

One joke ongoing joke I just remembered that must have migrated from production to the writers, is how often people specifically declared possessing 'The LaCie Rugged Drive!'

by **bat house** » Sun Oct 20, 2019 4:09 am

One of a million nice specifics. This one especially because it's very important to the plot. If you handle drives you know it's damaged in the wrong way (so the detail is useful!) and the fight over it for a for a chunk of the season is about a false macguffin.

I also like that they focus on the external HD even though the video was recorded on a phone, sent over phones, and readily available outside of the HD.

LaCie external hard drives were sold in my college bookstore for an absurd mark up
