I don't necessarily think that Mike's stance was about change. It was more that the position you hold in life, or in career, doesn't determine whether you are a good person or a bad person. There are bad cops, there are decent criminals. This was paralleled in the story of the brothers. One who held a respectable…

Chuck has no place on pedestal, while his brother cared for him, in spite of his psychological issues and shortcomings. He worshipped the law so much that it made him a hermit /recluse.

The amount is going to completely screw Jimmy. The big firm will weasel him out. It would have been better for Jimmy to get the smaller amount

Maybe Carver? The psychic said that he was there before?

Since they said it wouldn't be the same person as in the first version, I think that quote points to her son.

I would have assumed that the lead would survive, but maybe not, you know? Why make a dramatic ending and then kill the anticipation to watch it to find out if he survives? It's plain dumb.

Way to kill a cliffhanger by using that imagery in the next show previews.

I've never watched this series before Freak Show. I have enjoyed it, but after the last episode, I completely understand the gripes I read about past seasons. It's like someone writing an imaginative and compelling storyline while tripping, coming down from it, not feeling well, and just writing anything in order to…

I hope that is storyline, instead of turning him into a conniving scoundrel hiding behind a cloak of ethics.

I think the biggest surprise would be Danny's mother. Maybe she caught the husband cheating before and found out about Danny's stealing, etc, and then had some kind of meltdown that resulted in the kid's death.

Exactly. She kept telling everyone she wasn't running, until the pollsters manipulated her into running, yet she was cynical in accepting this scenario for anyone else.

At this point, I'm thinking she may have killed her own kid. She seems the least likely culprit up to now.

I felt sorry for him and harbored no suspicion about him either. But that's kind of the point, that everyone will cannibalize each other, some unjustly when things like this occur. Innocent people's lives can be ruined if they are caught up in investigations.

lol. true

They are playing the theme that all the 'normal' people are the real freaks, then why are the dwarfs so evil?

But my point is that he was gentle with a soft presence AROUND children and then he was menacing, keeping them caged, pocking them through the cage, slamming things around, delivered a severed head, while they were screaming in horror. I get the being disillusioned with the adults and dwarf part, but he also became an…

Yeah, I felt sorry for him being simple and picked on, but suffering
rejection for rubbish toys, a suicide attempt and then onto murderous
sprees, was zero to 60. I didn't quite comprehend why he was chosen. Was
it that he was sympathetic or not sympathetic enough? He was gentle with the kids when his face was intact.…

I wish that they would. I'm seeing it without the comparisons, and I thought the show was compelling enough that I want to watch further. I thought Anna Gunn was convincing in her character. I also felt the environmental dread surrounding the murder was quite effective and I picked up on that without referring to…

I never watched Broadchurch, so maybe that's why I didn't hate this show as much as you did.

I'm apparently the only one who thinks the TV shows are overplayed, I'm sick of them. I liked this episode and I thought Eli was fantastic.
