yeah first season was fine, hot rear end MILF suburbanite tries to sell weed, good enough for me. but then it spiraled into some hideously awful Nip/Tuck-style zany stupidity

oh yeah the hot son gave off huge nip/tuck vibes, that's right. lol nip/tuck was such a good middle-school secret watch on low volume

it felt like they didn't really do enough to establish that he's supposed to be Literally Hitler and not just a regular lovely right winger, either because some storylines got dropped or because the writers are just typical liberals.

when he first meets roman he winkingly jokes about sending people to camps, and when they have that sexually charged bathroom encounter he straight up talks about franco and hitler as dudes with good ideas, then talks about the need to limit immigration to maintain the country's racial purity. seems pretty explicit

her being a milf is important to her characterization because it explains why people are willing to do favors for her for no reason and emphasizes how the only reason anything she does works is because shes an attractive white woman with an established suburban identity

although really the writing was on the wall for the show getting stupid sooner or later and assuming that she was some kind of hypercompetent badass despite her almost always coming off as a clueless white person out of her depth i mean just check out the op

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3_ug-IGBJY

see shes a rebel against suburban conformity never mind the fact that the whole reason shes doing the weed thing in the first place is because her husband died and she has no source of income and no skills to get an actual job this materialist basis was what made her compelling and individualist suburbia criticism was already out of fashion by the time this show came out and it doesnt even do that very well

like at one point shes meeting an accountant friend at a nice indian restaurant but for some inexplicable reason went to olive garden first youre not allowed to pretend like youre critiquing that poo poo when your heroine apparently buys into it too

I watched about 20 seconds of that and saw actors I like being just gross (while hitting their marks and saying their lines), so West Wing?

first season and a half sucks, starts getting good halfway through season two, seasons 3 & 4 and the first half of 5 are pretty good, starts to suck again the second half of season 5 after the mid-season break.

overall i would say not really worth the time investment.

like a lot of memes, the actual context of that scene is reversed. Jesse is the one seeing things clearly and Walt is delusional about what's going on.
