I'm totally in agreement with both of you. The writing doesn't present some big mystery with a bunch of twists in a poor imitation of good writing. Its strong enough that we had a pretty good idea of the overall arc of the story from probably episode two or three, but the fun and enjoyment was watching how they got there. To be more specific, watching how they moved Eddie from where he was in episode one to where he was in the last episode. They did such a good job with Eddie that it was believable to watch him get to where he ended up in the last episode, and yes the writing also left enough mystery that we were wondering just how sincere his feelings in marriage to the countess was. (I too honestly thought at first he might be part of her plane bombing) I think you can make a strong argument that it was a mix - he definitely had feelings for her, but those feelings were elevated by his business interests.

And God, I love Vinnie Jones' character. Geoff is just badass.

Curious how Susie Glass is going to be handled in Season 3.

Bobby Glass seemingly doesnt know about her getting involved in Heroin*. That seems like a much bigger deal than Eddie pivoting to legal weed.

I would actually be surprised if he isn't aware of it. She is using his goons and her brother helped her out of a sticky situation with the boyfriend. He already ratted Susie/Eddie out once I think dad might just be lettting the cocaine thing ride or they have a big row about it early next season.

Really liked this season but I'll disagree with some of the previous posts regarding Eddie's decent. His deep love and marriage to the countess felt a bit too random or forced to me. I too was wondering if it was genuine as opposed to a play for power, which I think points to the lack of believability there. This caused her death to be too obvious of a plot device for his character to me.

Again great show and solid season, this was my only real minor complaint.

Incredible show. Excited for season 3 and I assume it will be more about Eddie making the $100 million, Susie and the coke, and a new villain or drug dealer.

Spoilers Ahead: Eddie's character arc is similar to Michael Corleon's The Godfather. One murdered his brother on a boat and one forced his brother to cut off a man's head with a chainsaw.

Eddie is now crazier than his brother.

But we still like him.


Episode 7 stole the show.

It was plainly obvious he was into her. This isn't a Disney princess show, think a "love at first sight" angle would be weird.
