Binged it while sick as a dog a few weeks ago. Season 1 was pretty cool even if too often unrealistic regarding Marty's relations to the cartel and other criminals. Season 2 is just way too much. Too much dead-end problems with too many "easy" cop-out for the family, everything on the political front (the part where they go all House of Cards) was kind of ridiculous. Too many people eliminated without consequences. Etc.

I'll still watch season 3.

One of my favorite shows ever after GoT and BB. Sure Marty gets lucky constantly with getting out of situations but I thought both seasons were fantastic.

Loved season one, most of it I guess. Saw signs it was losing it's way though... Haven't had a chance to watch season 2 yet, but I'm worried this is going to be yet another show that goes on too long. Too many episodes, requiring thinning out of the narrative and it starts to really suck.

If they were smart they drop this now while everybody is chilling inside.

I just thought the same thing about ESPN's 10-part Michael Jordan documentary that's due in June.

There are NO sports to watch, the ratings would be MASSIVE. And I am sure they would move it to ABC.

Season two was pretty great.

Everything is just a little too convenient and not believable imo. It's a decent watch, but nothing spectacular. Sofia Hublitz is super cringe and awful at acting also.

Going to start watching this sometime this week w/the wife. Sounds good, is it very realistic or not overly so?

Not realistic at all, everything always works out for the Byrdes. It is a cheap ripoff of Breaking Bad but it's not bad for what it is.

Haven't finished the season yet but you have to feel for Ben and his mental health. That scene in the psychiatric hospital with Ruth destroyed me

Finished episode 3 and so far I’d say no. I don’t find any of the characters likeable at all
That was the genius of breaking bad. Walter and Jesse balanced on a thin line in the end, but never quite lost the audience's initial emotional investment in them. Marty and Wendy seem increasingly just plain unsympathetic characters. I'll watch next season, though, if there is one. If there isn't, well, the finale of Season Three isn't a bad ending for the show--quite good, actually.
