Great point, thanks for your perspective! That makes perfect sense. This show has so many directions to explore.

True, looking back, but it was clearly a power grab that backfired on Teddy. He miscalculated that Daniel would cower. Daniel reacted the way prison taught him to. You're correct, the ramifications are huge. I'm not giving Daniel a pass, I just think Teddy should have been smarter. I can't believe no one thought about…

Hopefully the phone records will be examined to show Trey 's lies! I don't like where this is going. I'm ready for Daniel to talk. It seems that he is doing himself a deeper hole.

The Southern love affair with food can be traced all the way back to the Civil War, when there was no food. Then years later, the depression.

Oh I know, such a kind and loving lady! She so emotionally connected to Daniel and conflicted by her vows.

His defense mechanism is to become angry. He's clearly been abandoned by his mother, forgotten by his step mother, unaccepted by his step sister, unsupported by his father, and now his marriage is practically over. He reacts when hurt buy anger! He's certainly his worse enemy but he does have some redeeming and human…

Clayne Crawford nails portrayal of Teddy, Jr. I feel like I personally know this guy

Merzk is a big deal. Next time you see a transport train, I bet several cars are labeled "mersk" . So sorry for your situation. I found several connections you the characters' lives myself. Beautifully written , acted, and directed. I live in small town GA and find this show mesmerising.
