What a provocatively awesome show this has turned out to be.

    It’s not at all the show I thought it would be, and I’ve given up trying to figure out where it’s going.

    Agreed.  Really liking it so far.  The bald Chechen dude is hilarious.

    Yeah. He plays Victor Zsasz in Gotham, too. 

    Bill Hader is outstanding.

    His character is baffling.  Which fits him well.

    I have not seen this yet, but the thread title alone inspired me to watch a Barry-heavy episode of Red Oaks.

    Holy fucking shit! Not at all the show that I assumed I was going to be watching after the first episode. Last night’s episode was hilarious, heartbreaking and nerve racking. Hot damn!

    I watched the end of the episode last night, holy crap.  Need to go back and watch the start, the hockey game was still going.

    LOVE this show. Has a comedy ever been so dark and intense?

    Alright, I'm going to check this out - not only by your comments, but also that the co-creator is Alec Berg.

    (plus he's got a good John Houseman name)

    I'm really enjoying this show. Bill Hader is so good -- so much better than I would have expected from his SNL/sidekick roles. The Bulgarians (sorry -- Chechens? I must be low on caffeine) are funny. Henry Winkler is a scream. And I have to say, I am pleased that the violence is not too graphic, despite this being an HBO show. 
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    I was partway through the first ep when I had to assist with removing our toilet tank :angry:

    Really like what I've seen so far and will be sticking with it.

    (Just me, or does Hader resemble a cross of Michael C. Hall & Peter Krause?)

    Got my husband hooked - we caught eps 2 & 3 (after my having watched the season finale of Bosch...oh god!).  I love how they've incorporated various actors from HBO shows.  And the raisin thief from Seinfeld!

    Not a fan of there being only six episodes in this season though.

    Looks like there are 8 episodes for the season so still 2 more to come.

    Maybe the remaining two just aren't available yet?  All I saw were six, but it may be like Westworld - HBO (via Amazon) puts them up as they air.

    In any case, good to know there's more to come than I thought.
