Between this show and the current Starship Troopers discourse, I'm more convinced than ever that most people don't actually pay attention to what they watch and also lack the capacity to look beyond aesthetics.

It reminded me of the GOT finale in that I can see a version of the show where this story makes sense but they completely botched the execution.

Season 2 has "I like big dicks", which is quite a line, i should say.

it also has colin farrell in a great performance let completely down by uh everything else in season 2

wizard2 posted:

there are many issues with Season 2, but the one that kind of sticks out to me the most is the weird gravitas around the casino gangsters. I recall Vince Vaughn being hyped up as being the next big serious actor, hes looking to take his career to a new level, etc. It didnt pan out.

I feel like Season 2 could easily be reworked into a violent tragedy/farce thing with a focus on over the top performances, but that would undermine the great deal of WHY of Season 2 has to exist in a big hurry after Season 1 in the first place.

I LOVE SEEING DEAD BABIES ON 𝕏, THE EVERYTHING APP. IT'S WORTH IT FOR THE FOLLOWING TAB.
I just watched S2. It could be two episodes shorter and you could remove the superfluous motorbike cop from a plot with too many characters already, but otherwise it's an entertaining cohesive story about the same corrupt governance that's more in the background of S1 and I like the angle of VV's character trying to break into that system but it being impossible because of his class. The party scene with McAdams and her trauma after it is very confronting. Felt so bad for the double whammy of Farrell's dying message not sending to his kid AND the paternity test showing he was his kid, which he probably didn't believe.

It's even bleaker than 1, at least insofar as there's no little hopeful note at the end, or at least not one that hits the same as Marty and Rust outside the hospital.
