Not sure how there isn't a thread on this but I started it a few days ago and its fantastic. Hilariously dark. Anyone else watch this? I'm only 4 episodes in and can't wait to see where it goes. Season 3 is scheduled to come out Feb 16.

Agreed. The characters in this show are awesome. Just compelling TV. Mother in law is watching, trying to get my wife to jump in.

So far so good after 2 eps.
2 people have told me super slow so far and not on par with the first 2 seasons. Obviously that could change. I'm going to wait till they're all out.

Nah. They’re wrong. It hasn’t quite sucked me in like Season 2 from the jump, but it’s got all kind of interesting dynamics and f’ed up relationships being laid for groundwork.

I seem to be the only person in the world that doesn’t like Jennifer Coolidge, so I am very much enjoying the fact that she isn’t in this one. Combine that with the fact that I am a big fan of Goggins and I am enjoying the season (even if it is a bit of a slow burn so far).

Not the biggest fan of her either so I get it

Anyone still watching? Loved seasons 1 and 2. 3 is off to a brutally slow start -it’s picked up a bit in the most recent episode however. Super slow burn so far, seems they are setting up for some great big grand reveal at the end.

I am still really enjoying the season so far. Looking forward to the next “full moon” episode.

Yes! The season is just getting to that point (for me) where I’m looking forward to the next episode. Seems some of the story lines are about to explode.

And then came episode 5. Wow. They better have a good plan for this, because that episode took things downhill IMO.

Wha?! Episode 5 was easily the best of the season and that monologue was one of the craziest/deepest moments of TV I’ve ever seen.

We have different tastes no doubt. :)

I can handle some level of F'd up. But if it gets to be too much, then I don't enjoy it. That monologue was part of it, the scene with the 2 brothers was another, and I don't think I am the only one from one I am seeing online.

This is probably my favorite season so far (recency bias duly noted), and ep 5 was great imho. The brother scene was crazy, but the power shift between them was fascinating. Very much looking forward to the fallout of multiple storylines in the next episode.

Since you have to get permission to use songs, products, ets, why wouldn't they get Duke's permission for prominently featuring the trademarked Duke t shirt?

Chelsea’s reactions at the pool were beyond priceless.

I actually thought about that when watching.

Gotta imagine if the last episode rubbed you the wrong way, this one rubbed you even worse… pun intended :).

LOL, For sure. Trying to hang in there though, there were definitely some great scenes and I am really curious about how this is all going to end.
