Show's getting better with each episode as the characters get fleshed out more and more. This week's was really good, managing to deliver rapid fire 80s school movie humor and feels.

Show has really great depth to it, not only does it have laugh out loud moments, but really subtle comedy as well, along with some great moments of emotional clarity, it is pretty amazing.

Very funny episode. Good stuff.

The best part about this line is it's so explicit that if you saw the MA warning at the beginning, this episode got dinged for "Nudity".

I can't tell if you're straight joking or if you forgot about Lee showing the kids a whole ton of nude photos.

I love Goggins in this. He is so good. 'The other way you stupid piece of shit'.

Snodgrass is way more fucked up then the series initially had me believe :)

Also, Lee's look at the end gave me a real strong "I wish I had kids of my own" feel. Anyone else get that vibe?

You shut your funny looking too big mouth, any women who writes dragon furry fanfiction is a 10/10

and yeah not sure what Lee's look was supposed to mean, then again I was still 99% sure he was gay so that character completely perplexes me, in a good way

nvm misremembered the scene you're talking about

I got the vibe that he just gained some respect for Gamby seeing that him and his daughter had such a special bond.

I think what's underrated about Lee in this episode and the end of the last one, is he's starting to realize he doesn't have life all figured out. I don't know how rapid that change is going to happen for him, but it's obvious that everyone on the show is being confronted with their own pride, and are forced to change.

Yep. I guess that's what his look at the end this week was supposed to mean. Kind of a continuation of the brass nuckles scene.

Yeah, they had him taking care of Brown's kids all day, kind of winning them over, and then ended on that.

I think there's a theme going on. Gamby and Brown have their own children, and when push comes to shove, they care more about the school and the children than they do their own position in it (or will be shown to). Whereas Lee, no children, would happily reign over ashes. But he might be about to change.

I think what's also interesting is the dynamic between Gamby and Brown that's being created. Russel looks still more likely to go with their 'plan' but Gamby is likely to turn. At the same time Gamby and Russell have actually started to bond.

Really enjoying how this show is progressing. This is one of those times I feel like a lot of critics are off the mark.

it's hard show to critique because I feel like there's so many elements to it and that people value certain things. Some critics want it to be sillier, some less silly, some like the dramedy bits, some only like the comedy, etc...

I watch a lot of tv shows and read a lot of critics and the best thing IMO to do is find the critic that values the things you value for that specific tv show, whatever it may be, and then just read their reviews. The only times I read other critics is mostly for insight and to pick up on things I may have missed out on.

I feel the same way. There was a real leap in improvement from episodes 1+2 to 3-5 and then it seems like again with 6 and 7.

This show is great now, while I was thinking about dropping it after the first two episodes.

For me, personally, I just avoid critics altogether. Some will love a show that I love. I don't need them to tell me why I love it or justify my opinion. Some will hate a show that I love. That's not going to persuade me to change my opinion. I just don't see the point.

And yet, I watch redlettermedia and other reviews of movies. I don't know why I avoid TV show critics, but I just do.
