Looks like it's jusy gonna get crazier this season.
yea, NoHo Hank is just so funny every time. It's actually impressive.expresswrittenconsent said:
S1 was such a delight. Completely unexpected show that delivered with pretty much 100% of the characters on screen.
The main cast was fantastic.
The rando hard charging ex marine buddies were great.
My favorite though has to be the bald Eastern European gangster.

Hank showing up in the wig and then explaining he is in disguise cracked me up

Between his work on Atlanta and Barry, is there a better director working in tv than Hiro Murai? Every episode he has worked on the last few years has been nothing short of spectacular.
Dude, the things you mentioned are what makes it such an awesome show. I find myself still rooting for Barry even though he murdered Fonzie's girlfriend who was doing what is her absolute right thing to do in the situation. I root for Barry to find a little happiness with the poor mans Sarah Chalke and I die laughing when Stephen Root demands the court order for his DNA while drinking a Coke can.oragator said:
I still feel like it's hard to know who we are rooting for, against, whether Hader is good or bad, whether the show is a comedy with only a few funny lines an episode, a drama with little emotion etc.
It's unique and I like that, but hope it gets deeper.

Love all those, a good antihero is great TV.
I was actually thinking about the breaking bad comparison when I was writing that. Think about the depths they took you through with WW - here was a guy, stuck in a dead end job, had let the opportunity of a lifetime pass him
by, had a disabled kid, a functional but not great marriage...and behind all of that gets a terminal cancer diagnosis and decides to take care of his family. The whole show is his devolving from a man who ostensibly did what he did to take care them, into a man who discovers his sociopathic and narcissistic side and learns to embrace it. It's a brilliant character study with remarkable attention to detail in the plot construction.
This show has little to none of that - all we know about Barry is that he is conflicted about killing people, the rest of the show is largely superficial. And on the idea of his being monotone, has he even smiled once in a season plus? Was there even a hint of emotion when he had to talk to Winkler after killing his GF? After he killed his buddy that was done in 30 seconds and not revisited etc. He's not three dimensional.
I am not trying to get people to not like the show, if others connect to him great, just saying that I don't. They could do more to humanize him and it would make the show more interesting for me. I still enjoy it, just not as much as I could.

The only villain of recent memory for me that is just evil for evil's sake but is still awesome is The Joker in The Dark Knight.
