I'm catching up with the show and I was really confused why state police just brutally raided the funeral home without a warrant or explanation. Then I remembered that this is 1950s Missouri and the home belongs to black people and police could just do whatever they wanted with black people :doh:

Overall I'm not really feeling this season, but maybe it gets better. I mean, Oraetta is a pretty good villain, but she's no V.M. Varga. Varga was one of the best villains in TV history

Hell yeah, I binged through s5 and it's really fantastic. Especially the ending.

Old Munch is such a great character. Jon Hamm is also fantastic in this. His natural charisma made me constantly anticipate some redeeming qualities or redemption arc for him, but it never came. He's just a very charming piece of poo poo.

All the little references to No Country for Old Men were also really fun(Jon Hamm's monologue, the tracker signal receiver, Munch's hairstyle, etc.). Although I can't really see any coherent examination or rebuttal of the movie's themes. It all seems just like random easter eggs.

e: also, Munch talks about reaching the Americas on a ship with rowers. But he left Britain in the 16th century, when IIRC rowers were no longer used on the Atlantic route. Is it supposed to be a hint that his story is made up?
