Man, the Asian wife is the worst. Jon Hamm is holding this show together but it's a poor man's Billions if we're being honest.

I must not be in the target demo for enjoying Westchester NY c*ckoldry fantasies among the uber elite class.

It didn't seem like a female demographic show at first but the plot has devolved into stupidity. Even my wife was commenting how bad season two was.

This show is 90% wealthy vibes with the plot being of little importance. The writing is bad, but I still find it watchable.

James Marsden looked like he had fun playing that role.

The casting of Jon Hamm's dad was bad. That guy looked like he was only 12-15 years older than Hamm.

I think the guy that plays Barney is going to start to get some big roles.

He was a main character in Banshee on Cinemax

Played a gay cross dresser, pretty big difference to this role

Binged season 2 over the last couple days. Thought it was a good follow-up to S1. I think this role was perfect for Amanda Peete. I thought it was obvious what the cliffhanger was going to be but thought it was well done.

My only real complaints are the kid/high school characters and the ex-NBA All Star who's with Amanda Peet's character, who seemingly has no other athlete friends or anyone still around him who would have been heavily present in his NBA sphere. It's just so weird to me how he seems to only hang out with a bunch of white, un-athletic, middle-aged dads. Oh and while I like Hamm's character's sister, the way her ex was all chummy with her at the gym last episode made zero sense as well.

Otherwise, I'm definitely in agreement that Hamm is great and that the core conceit of the show is a lot fun/works really well. Breaking Bad light is a great way to put it. Super interested to see where things go from here, especially after last episode's cliffhanger ending.

I watched the first 3 episodes on the way back from Vegas last night.
I'll have to re-subscribe to AppleTV so I can get the rest.

Like others said, nothing deep about the show but it's been interesting so far - in a complete trainwreck kind of way. And as a mid-50s married man, totally relatable.

I was hooked once he started talking about house 1, kid 1, kid 2, house 2, etc.
