June 21, 20232 yr Just finished the first season in time for the start of the second season. Thank you, chef Also and SIAP but every time he says he wants to keep the place “chill”
June 22, 20232 yr Quite the roster of guest appearances playing Carmy’s extended family in episode 6. What a surprise treat!

June 23, 20232 yr Saving the final episode for tomorrow but I think this season exceeded the first. Amazing television.
June 23, 20232 yr Got through the first 2 tonight. Loved the Robert Townsend cameo as Sydney's dad. Chicago native and writer/director of one of the best comedies of the 80s, Hollywood Shuffle.

June 23, 20232 yr Episode 6 was incredible and fucking brutal. Really kicked in some good old familial PTSD. What an incredible show. Richie went from being my least favorite character to my favorite.

This season really did a great job in developing the characters and letting the viewers get to know them and what makes them tick. Except for Carmy. He’s still a bit of a mystery, at least to me. And I’m guessing that is by design. One other note. This show is really good at moving between frenetic and quiet. Even though it’s a slow burn, plot wise, it keeps you on a roller coaster emotionally. Really great show. Edited June 23, 20232 yr by TonyTexas
June 23, 20232 yr I'd also like to commend Jamie Lee curtis' performance. She absolutely nails the narcissistic mother character. I should know, I've got one. Mullaney was surprising. He has a future in dramatic acting.

June 23, 20232 yr The transition in the final episode from Kidsmoke to Animal is fucking awesome. They killed the soundtrack again this season.
June 24, 20232 yr “Fishes” left me in shambles. Next level dysfunction but at the same time heart warming and thoughtful. I’m glad is was an hour plus to because it absolutely needed to be.
June 24, 20232 yr Fishes is one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen. I didn't think they could take something like Review and keep that anxiety going for an hour, but they knocked it out of the park. Between JLC and Bob Odenkirk, they're going to sweep the Best Guest Actor in a Drama category. John Mulaney was great, too. I loved Forks, too, especially the scene with Olivia Colman. I hope we get more Molly Gordon next season. I've loved her since Booksmart.
June 24, 20232 yr I am going to finish it tonight. You cannot be on your phone during this show. It’s not that it is complicated, but there is so much non-verbal acting going on that you miss. I watched 1 and 2 twice as a result. No more phone the rest of the season. I love Fak. Is that his real look with the neck tattoos? If so, great find. Kinda like Snoop in The Wire. Get me a legit Chicago PWT, likable dude to play a supporting character and we will make them a star.

The Fak brothers are hilarious together.

June 25, 20232 yr I’ve never really liked him or thought he was funny after a ton of chances but the grace scene was great.

June 26, 20232 yr Finished season 2 in 3 nights. TV shows rarely get me like that anymore.So refreshing how it’s an ensemble and every character is worth rooting for - and it’s not some dopey surface level show. Totally against the grain for quality TV over the last 2 decades.The second half of the season was so good. May rewatch.

June 26, 20232 yr This is easily my favorite series in several years. Extraordinarily well written and acted. And the soundtrack kicks fucking ass! Going to go listen to Refused again.

June 26, 20232 yr Chef is a fantastic movieThe Chef Show on Netflix with Favreau and Roy Choi is one of the best cooking shows ever, if you get past the first ep with the beating that is Gwyneth Paltrow. The show goes between kitchen scenes with the two of them and going to top LA food joints.
June 26, 20232 yr Just wanted to chime in with how pissed I am that the show is only on Hulu and not on FX. That is all.

I've told my wife this. Throughout multiple shows. She thinks as long as she's "listening" 🙄 I've given up trying to convince her. And "Fishes" was so anxiety inducing with all the chaos. Jesus, I feel for people that live like that.

Parts of this show remind me of the best episodes of Louie, like when he accidentally took the ducks to Afghanistan.
June 26, 20232 yr It was nice seeing Richie learn people like him if he just lets go of being an asshole all the time.
June 27, 20232 yr The Richie story is very good. His heart has always been in the right place, just needs to get his head there.
June 27, 20232 yr I am on episode 9 and it’s like they went through my 2008 CD collection for this show. Decemberists was a nice surprise.
