Seriously, how good are these actors?! Somehow, when I see why people would find Ruth or Brenda or anyone else self-indulgent or annoying or what have you, I just think they're deftly portrayed, however low they get to. Man, Rachel Griffiths has not has as good a role as this. And Frances Conroy is wonderful! Lauren…

I love that Grandpa is muttering about lying down during the commercial. He is one of my favorite characters because of his ridiculous old-ness
