I kind of look at this show the same way I would compare a Tarantino movie to Coen Bros. movie. Tarantino is good at borrowing cool ideas from movies he loves, and tossing them into a weird, fun mix that is entertaining, but not profound. The Coen Bros are a bit less flashy, but more original all around, and their

Funner Fact: At least one of her departures was for the nookie.

There is definitely a connection with the scar on his chest near his heart and his final trip to the afterlife.

Bolting into the future was a clever concept, but Kevin's lying to Nora about how they met just felt like a ploy to screw with the audience a bit in the final episode. I think the bizarro universe where only 2% of the humans remain was a great idea though. I wish they had actually shown her over there. It could have

OH JEEEEEZ…WHAT A SNOWFLAKE!!! YOUR DAUGHTER THINKS MULTIPLE, BLOODY YOUS IS PRETTY DAMN BAD-ASS, BRAAAAAH!!!

The only thing left to do is rename the show "A Cheat Sheet for Techniques Used by Russian Organized Crime to Exploit American Businessmen." Maybe that would make it more obvious.

There are so many Trump/Russia references in this season that it's mindboggling that viewers don't pick up on it more. Everything from the explanation of the three different types of truth, the mangling of reality, the momentarily hacked prison cell camera, the exploitation of a struggling businessman, the literal

Shea Whigham is great in pretty much everything he does. He really shined in Boardwalk Empire. He does have a particular knack for playing a dick.

LATE NIGHT TWEETING WITH SPELLING ERRORS IT 'TIS!!!

Dumb people nationwide applaud the president for spelling the rest of the words in the tweet correctly, even though he forgot to end the sentence with a period.

I'm pretty sure Perotta's on board even though he never seems to mention it on Twitter or anything. Funny enough, all I ever seem to see him tweet about is tennis. I think he just handed over the reigns completely and let them run with it. It may have been a better strategy for TV if they were anticipating five plus

It also presents Kevin Sr.'s story as the Gospel of BS.

The greatest risk this show took was giving Kevin his visions and immortal side, and it might be its major flaw as well. A normal culture dealing with a rapture is a fascinating world on its own, and probably something that most viewers could identify with. Throwing another supernatural wildcard in there might have

Maybe two and a half. It's almost like something that Richard Linklater could have tackled.

I suspect you're correct, and I suspect I will end up liking the book more because of it. I just think the book does what it sets out to do so well. The TV series has moments of brilliance (specifically the episodes which center on a lone character) but doesn't really feel like it will compete with the likes of

My greatest fear for this show is that it ends next week with no explanation for Kevin's ability to come back from the dead. This week definitely shot down his father's visions, and confirms that he is, most-likely, just crazy. I get the feeling that they are leaning towards keeping the supernatural events

Maybe it's short for "to short someone."

I think this article sums up the story pretty well. No need for a 90 minute doc on this one.

Ha! That lyric from "Goodbye, Ohio" about the Earth-locked astronaut is my all-time favorite of theirs. "We'll eat your food and steal your wives. Buy us beers, we're friends for life" is way up there as well. The lyrics of "Unbeautiful," "Sin Tax" and "Making Fun of Bums" are all great as well. I think their dark

Could be The String Cheese Incident…
