    I could not get past the opening flashforward at the start of the season, its content too morbid and topical for me to want to watch things build up to that scene over the season or watch them try to renounce the darkness as some joke. The worlds rough right now and just couldn’t push through it despite loving seasons 1 and 2.

      Now that episodes 1-7 are all out, I recommend binging them all. I am loving this seasonz especially the juicy and tawdry developments in episodes 6 and 7

    Unfamiliar with the show, sounds like a night time soap opera based on the “loose ends” block in the article?

    “Who fired the gunshots heard at the beginning of the series? Whose body is found floating in the hotel pond? What will happen between Belinda and Greg/Gary after his proposition? Will Timothy succumb to the darkness, and will he take any of his family members down with him? Will Gaitok confront the Russians after his realization at the Muay Thai match? Will the brothers ever talk about that sickening threesome?”

      I’ll be honest, this is a weird take. This show is all about the characters. The characters that have been built up over the last 7 episodes. What will they do?

      Of course that’s the question!?

      Yes! We want to know where these characters end up! That’s every show that exists. If you haven’t watched the show, sure you don’t care.

      Spoilers for Breaking Bad, Walt just lives alone in nowhere New Hampshire, who cares?

      Spoilers for The Wire, Omar Comin’. Who cares?

      Spoilers for fucking anything! The god damn plot!

      I don’t mean to diminish but yeah, if you haven’t watched the show then it’s going to be difficult to understand what is going on.

      This is a character driven show. If you don’t know who they are, it’s hard to understand what is going on.

      It’s the most popular show on TV at the moment in the world, at least according to IMDB. It’s all schadenfreude watching rich people fall apart due to their foibles, told in a hilarious way. Id recommend it if you enjoyed Succession or the movie Triangle of Sadness, for example.

        Yeah, never seen either of those either, I heard about Succession, not interested in Murdoch family as a TV show. LOL.

          Triangle of sadness is worth the watch, I hadn’t laughed that much watching a movie in quite a while, but a certain boat scene had me crying of laughter.
