Same. I thought it was going to be a lot more subtext-y than it was - at this point it feels very much like a powerful, slowly-built romance. Part of it is the talent and chemistry of the actors, but I think it also makes a surprising amount of sense from a character standpoint (which is something the production team…

Going back over the show without that “where is this going?” tension, Madani really is sort of pointless. There’s so little character grounding for her beyond “agent who wants it more than her bosses” archetypes.

I’ve been blogging about this show and for quite a while now I’ve been referring to Madani as Agent Meanwhile (I also independently invented Senator Strawman but Siede published it first, I ain’t mad). Revah is doing a great job and there’s a compelling story there, but Siede is right on the money in noting the way…

The actor who played Lewis did such a great job. I really liked this episode.

As a team, they’re great. I have no interest in Kank sexytime.

I felt like the scene with the birds was one of those scenes that goes on too long, but then keeps going on so much longer that it becomes the right length. It started off about the metaphor and then became about how Lewis can’t innovate once a plan starts going wrong.

Lewis: Oh, look, it’s an inocennt bystander.

“The scene with Lewis trying to free the birds who didn’t want to leave their cage was a bit much.”

I honestly don’t feel as though this show glorifies gun violence. Frank is portrayed as suffering from PTSD and barely holding onto his sanity at times. There’s no fetishism involved, no glorification of the act of killing. All the violence is shown as horrifying and empty. If anything, the show is a firm argument agai…

Karen Page is awesome. Haters gonna hate.

The gun control debate on the show is actually relatively nuanced. Karen isn’t just “pro-gun”. She’s a victim of violent crime who now carries a gun for protection. She also murdered a man with a gun who kidnapped her. So you can’t entirely take her side. Meanwhile, the politician rails against guns while he has…

Lewis is using violence to communicate a manifesto. Frank isn’t trying to communicate at all; he’s trying to kill specific people who he knows hurt him. Both are bad, but Frank is at least actively trying to avoid hurting innocent people, whereas Lewis has no regard whatsoever for collateral damage.

Claire is the worst. Karen had a position and after multiple threats on her life and being forced to kill a man in self defense, he position has changed.

It’s stupid how much chemistry Bernthal has with, like, everyone.

One of Canada’s greatest tragedies is that they didn’t ge to keep making this show.

“Oh Janitor! Some kid vomited in the hallway. Could you make with the sawdust and clean it up?”

Some of us are trying to nail Catherine the Great... or should I say, Catherine the So-So!

Never watched it, as it hit before I really got into adult animated comedy. Heard decent things.

Hey, get off my dinghy!
