I ended up watching it, as well, and liked the show.

I definitely thought it would have been fine ended it after season one, but even moreso believe that there should NOT be a season three.

While true that as shows move in to later seasons the characters and storylines evolve, I personally am not looking forward to that with these characters.

Once it moved past the sociopathic arc I am kinda meh

Thing is, it was never about being a psychopath.
It's about trauma and the many ways we suffer from it.
Season two offers a glimpse at the possibility of recovery.
I think that alone warranted the second season.
I agree that they should not do a third and I do not think that they will.

For me, it wasn't actually about whether or not he was a sociopath. It was more about the tension that the dynamic brought to their relationship. Also, for me, I just felt that both main characters arc completed nicely during season one.

Either way, was a good show!

I think it is one of the first post-Millenial shows which, apart from the excellent writing, makes it an interesting cultural artifact.

Post Millennial Malaise? 😂

Tiger King, anyone?
We watched the first three episodes last night, and it's one of the most gloriously batshit things I've ever seen.

Might have to check that out.

I watched Maron's new special last night. I'm not sure when it came out, but it has 2020 for the release year so it's gotta be pretty newish. Definitely recommend it.

I there are any hooligans in here you need to check out "the English game". Dramatization done well about the old FA cup and all the working mans teams before you could Ben payed to play soccer. Pretty rad.

It's not bad, but the soccer scenes suck. One of my friends is a sports historian and he was very annoyed to put it mildly.

Maron's special came out at the beginning of March.
