Anybody who uses the phrase "grounded by genuine human moments" is probably an out of work film critic with a Degree in Visual Arts from a Midwestern liberal arts college no one has heard of. Amirite?

Totally wrong. I gave up by episode 6 last season. It was all menacing family violence. Not particularly original or interesting even if the protagonist was black, Ho hum. This season is a real adventure.

This episode had me thinking how much like the first season this season is. I mean there's a woman cop and an evil fella and a good fella gone wrong played by an English fella.

The Degas statue of a ballerina on Lydia's desk.

"the sight of a white woman lecturing a black one about anything is always going to feel gross."

It might jar a bit if the fictional character was also called Michael McKean.

I occasionally watch "Grantchester" set in Cambridge, England, where I lived and studied and it is all over the place in terms of actual locations. He rides his bike from one end of town and back again in minutes and passes everything in between in the wrong order. But what can you do? It wasn't made for me.

If nothing else the body being found would make them look sloppy and lose face and rattle Hector a bit.

A Tuesday on which, according to the internet, nothing happened.

If he eats at Cinnibon too often then his long term prospects aren't that great either.

I am not sure why anyone would have thought that you could get to be the head partner of a medium sized but rich local law firm like that without a lot of douchebaggery.

Would you have noticed that if you didn't know what was coming? I would have interpreted it as he was, understandably, now a bit afraid of Nacho and Hector. Like when your boss at work beats the crap out of you in front of the whole office for peeing in the coffee pot and you're thinking maybe this isn't such a fun

El Capo thought he had immunity but wasn't sure so it was that doubt that Jimmy worked with. It was better than if he was just using his lawyer's knowledge to beat him.

It was almost like he was warming up his Slippin' Jimmy muscles there. I think he was proving to himself he could still talk a good game like he did with the mug mealer and then deliver on the goods. In another reality he would have made a good improv comedian. Like that comedy guy Bob Odenkirk.

Bingo. Especially if he had defended him in court and had repeatedly called him "Ignacio" rather than "Nacho" so he didn't sound like a mug mealer.

The cook sees nothing.

I am looking forward to Chuck's dinner party where he invites Jimmy and Kim and gets him to tell the story about how they set him up in the court case but that lead to him getting better and aren't brothers the best? Then ask: "any more filet mignon de boeuf?" because he would totally cook steak and call it that.

I always liked those old timey movies and tv shows where someone has a heart condition but they lose their "heart pills" and start to have a heart attack but then suddenly find their pills and take one and the heart attack stops immediately.

I'm gonna say there is a 98% chance that Nora is telling the truth and a 2% chance she is lying.

Is Carrie Coons getting typecast? Here she literally goes over to the other side and comes back. In Fargo my theory is the reason that none of the automatic scanning machines can detect her is because she is a ghost.
