I am just 4 shows in, I like it so far, but it is a bit far-fetched. How is Marty going to wash 500 million through 2 businesses? Also, the flaming gay FBI is just too weird. Did they have to put the gay blowjob in there- he is the law but paying males hookers?

I will probably finish the series, but it seems to be falling apart already.

BTW- Wendy should have gone off the balcony with her lover. She is annoying.

Where did you get $500 millions? It's $8 million.

The pitch was $500M with $8M as a trial.

I must have missed that part.

I realized the $8M was a trial run for something bigger.

Didn't know it was that much bigger?!!?

i thought it was fine. It seemed to be a show that couldn't decide whether it was going to be funny like Weeds or more dark like Breaking Bad and was wildly inconsistent between the episodes.

Silock · 07-24-2017, 08:30 PM

Bingeing now. I like it.

**Scorp** · 07-26-2017, 07:27 PM

I binged it in two days, I liked it. I like about anything Jason Bateman does though.

Agreed, and we finished it in 3 days. Was definitely good, to no surprise.

Really didn't expect

Spoiler!

Dude. Did you watch? Most of the main characters from the area were not.

Rachel is definitely not.

Jacob may look and sound like a hillbilly but he was very intelligent and business savvy.

Ruth lived like trash but she wasn't a backwoods hillbilly. She was damned sharp too.

So then what? You're looking at the moron Langmore brothers. That's 2-5. Not very damned much.

Backwoods hillbilly's can be intelligent, sharp and business savvy. Almost every local...main character or not...was portrayed as a backwoods hillbilly and/or white trash. If you didn't notice it I dont know what to tell you.

I just wasn't very impressed with the show. It could have been so much better. Good idea but the sloppy writing ruined it for me.

Because they have southern accents? WTF dude?

There is absolutely nothing about Jacob that makes him backwoods or hillbilly.

And if they are hillbilly or trash they are BY DEFINITION not intelligent, sharp or savvy.

Just finished it. I liked it. It wasn't as good as BB, but nothing is.

**lewdog** · 07-31-2017, 06:34 PM

Loving this show here. 2 episodes in.

Has a modern day Deliverance feel to it.
