    Congratulations to anyone who can still follow the plot of this show. I'm just in it now for the wonderful acting and loyalty till the end.

    "The anus is on you." RIP Dewey Crowe.

    I lived in Wisconsin for decades and never once heard about Lake of the Ozarks. Its draw even in the Midwest seems limited.

    Only 27 comments? Ruh-roh. I don't think this show is catching on, and that's a shame. It is getting really good now. What a moving scene when Franklin is being held by his mother in a way that would have comforted him if he were still a boy, and not a young man taking an irrevocable step toward darkness. I thought

    God no. I live for it.

    I was very nervous the whole time.

    Most underrated actor on this show. I absolutely love him.

    If you love the actor that much, you definitely need to watch Borgen if you haven't already.

    I really miss the little guy!

    "But a practically solo sequence of Dany walking through her old empty
    house without saying anything for minutes on end is, let’s say, a lot to
    ask of Emilia Clarke." Amen. The showrunners really hit us over the head with a sledgehammer on this one, beginning with the cliched handprint on the sand.

    Damn, this was funny.

    A collective nightmare, and all too real. :-(

    Thanks for that link, I enjoyed reading Sepinwall's take on it. Here's another political/economic interpretation of the series: https://www.vox.com/culture…

    Yeah, I do think this season there's a thumb on the scale for evil winning. I thought that even before reading this interview with Hawley in Variety:

    I don't know how the reviewer missed the fact that Varga's "cats are more valuable than humans" speech was verbatim Robert Mercer, one of Trump's closest associates. It was well publicized, and using it had to have been intentional on Hawley's part. https://www.thenation.com/a…

    I see it as a metaphor for the 2016 election and what has followed.

    If the shoe fits …

    Who's gonna walk through that door? A figure of authority who will release Varga, because our world, and the United States right now specifically, is in the hands of evil oligarchs. Varga's speech about cats being more valuable than humans was delivered in real life by hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer, one of
