It’s not enjoyable. If you can’t get through season 1, that particular episode will be impossible.

So, I LOVED this show. All season one, and almost all of season two. We accidentally stopped one episode short and I thought it was the perfect ended. SPOILER...






Hand on door, about to find out what would happen next. Hard work in. Potential but no guarantee of success. But the last episode seemed to bring up so much it couldn't address (I guess season 3 hopeful) and not all of it added or really made sense, to me. Still loved the show. Just think they almost ended it perfectly but were afraid to do so. (Then again, I had the same feeling about BEEF when I thought him buying the property and her refinding love in episode 6 or 7 would have been a great wrap up!)

I really liked the episodes in the beginning of season two, especially in Copenhagen but some of this season felt forced to me.

Also, I have some trouble believing in Claire as Carmie’s girlfriend. She’s more like his therapist. She doesn’t rally have any problems of her own. She’s the only one of the characters that’s not fully developed. She’s hot but too hot for him. Also, she’s an ER doc but has time to drive to Wisconsin to mail a letter, impromptu? Nope.

Remind me why the chocolate banana was so meaningful?

I’m the one who loved the scene…

At the 7 Fishes Dinner, Cicero tells Rich and his pregnant partner (can’t recall her name) that his Dad took him for choc covered bananas as a kid. He saw a choc covered banana that day and it reminded him of his Dad. He notes that little things can spark poignant memories even years after someone has passed away. It was a sweet vulnerable morning for “Unc” which Rich harkened back to on opening night in an act of service

??? They drove to a suburb of Chicago.

You’re not the only one who thought it: Claire is a version of the “manic pixie dream girl”.

+1 I stopped that episode half way, for me not enjoyable at all.

That’s a no from me. I loved both, but I don’t think anyone who didn’t like the first season would like the second. The first was more conventional and the second season has much more risk taking, experimenting with tempo, pacing - you have to know and love the characters to enjoy it. At least I think.

I did not like the first season but really loved the second.

I do not like Claire.

That is all.

Did anyone else sort of wish Carmy and Sydney would get together, even though she would probably get sick of him fairly quickly?

I can’t stand Sydney, so I for one am glad we haven’t gone that route (so far… who knows what the writers will cook up for us).

I really don’t like Sydney either. I am not sure if it’s the actress’ delivery of lines or the way the character is written. But man was that episode where Richie stages just some fantastic television. I hope he wins an Emmy for that role.

Aw, I love Sydney. I find her to be a fairly fully formed character and i care what happens to her.
