She's really good on a really bad show.

Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clarke was the best performance of the year. Phenomenal from beginning to end and nothing can touch the haircut episode.

Man, they really doubled down on the stupid in this episode. A bunch of professional baseball executives are shocked - SHOCKED! - that the screwball puts dangerous stress on a pitcher's arm. And the stat geek's whiteboard about pitch counts and off-speed pitches was pure nonsense.
This show could've been a great

Yeah, this show keeps walking right up to the edge of being a realistic, grounded drama and then tap dances backwards into soap opera land.

This was shockingly bad. Hard to say what makes it to the abbreviated 60min Comedy Central version in 5 years. The cold open was an epic waste of Walter White, the monologue was slow and painful and no big laughs in WU. Premise for the 'Dating Game Show' sketch was good but ran out of steam fast and Beck and Kyle

Mr. Poopy Butthole, your well-thought out argument, based in logic, is not welcome here. This is a safe space for like minded individuals who are incapable of honestly considering other viewpoints. You have expressed ideas that, while not conservative, are definitely not in line with progressive liberal talking points

Nah, the stripper ending wasn't even an anti-payoff. If the Cubs players didn't come out they had no way out of that thing. It was a really cheap ending for a really dumb sketch.

As a comedy this show rarely made me laugh out loud and as a dramedy I found the storytelling pretentious. It looked cool, though.

I see a lot of people were digging the Moneyball-esque scenes but about 95% of the trade deadline dialogue was nonsense and in a show FILLED with actors who have no idea how to throw a baseball, Ginny's friend from high school might be the worst yet.

The trading deadline is the end of July so there's at least 2 months left in the season and we're definitely headed for at least the first round of the playoffs. Plenty of time for us to see more terrible baseball scenes.

Pretty terrible episode. Very interesting comments section. Amazing the mental gymnastics some of you guys are going through to convince yourselves that this show is brilliant and not the hit-or-miss, poorly written show it has become the last few episodes. Reminds me of Trump supporters.

High production value and incredible acting saved a lot of Key & Peele sketches from really weak premises. And, yeah, that can be done w/ pre-recorded stuff but live sketches rely heavily on the premise itself.

Anybody can become a knuckleball pitcher but the great ones need years to develop the pitch to the point where they can become a reliable major league pitcher with it. The problem is more in the fact that it's not realistic that Jinny would've progressed to this point as a screwball pitcher. So the writers could

Yeah. Looking back on a game, it might get a cheesy nickname like that from the media. But no baseball announcer is ever going to refer to a game their announcing like "this has turned into the beanball game". Really silly.

Great episode… outside of the baseball stuff.

"Paragraphs are our friends" Ugh.

Stop it. Is marijuana going to ease someone's anxiety, relax their mind, help them sleep? Sure. But after his PTSD drove him to complete despair last week with war flashbacks, loud noises and aggressive hallucinations, this week Edgar gets high and makes a bunch of idiots SHOOT FIREWORKS DIRECTLY AT HIM and he's

You guys! Edgar is cured! He just needed to get high! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
And the logistics of that Speakeasy are totally realistic and not at all a cartoonishly cheap set-up for jokes! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
What a dumb fucking episode.

It didn't pull me out completely but the doctor not taking Edgar's blowup seriously was definitely a false moment.

This was a fantastic episode of television but unfortunately it only reiterated how much I dislike what the show normally is. It felt totally out of place w/ the ridiculously heightened and uneven world that all of the other over the top characters exist in. Can you imagine if you judged every other episode of the
