    That was crazy. Didn't quite turn out how I expected but it was great.

    Really felt sorry for Tanya. She took those fuckers out. I was also surprised that we didn't see Greg come back...I kept thinking he must be hiding somewhere on the boat.

    We watched the second season first, thinking that we wouldn’t have missed much as it was a different cast. I’m glad we did it that way around as I think season 2 was much better. If we’d watched S1 first we may not have bothered with S2.

    Really? I thought S1 was pretty good.

    I would say it's better than S1 but we really liked S1 as well.

    Yeah, I thought S1 was ok but nothing special. I didn’t really care about any of the characters, and I preferred the ones in S2.

    ---SPOILERS...and not sure how to actually hide stuff------------





    Finished 2. Satisfying ending for sure. I thought it was low key funny when Albie goes "Oh, yeah I got played" when Portia asks how things went with him and Lucia. lol   The hookers were great.

    If, like 2, 3 has one character return, who do you think it will be? Portia? Uncle Rico?

    Also, I was a little confused because I wasn't sure if I dozed off or they just didn't show it, but Ethan and his friend's wife definitely hooked up on that little island right?


    Finally...legitimately happy Ethan and Harper finally ended up in a good place. I wasn't sure that would happen or not. 

    Good show.

    Wow. I think I might have liked season 1 a bit better, just because it was funnier to me. Loved both though.

    lol...that was crazy

    So many weird angles. I noticed last night that the closing credits listed "Scott Glenn"....I was like where the fuck was he...then realized we only heard his voice at the end. He's the dude Uncle Baby Billy is looking for.

    watched S1 years ago. Liked it. Kind of forgot about it. Guess I have 2 seasons to watch now. Good, cuz I finished Severence. Need something else.

    Season 2 is the best so far imo 

    3 has promise to finish strong, but similar to season 1 to me
