The longer season makes the overarching story feel a bit streched at times, but it remains really solid and the single episodes are almost always quite brilliant, so who cares? Plus, the last four or five episodes are really great, with a gripping crescendo and a closing cliffhanger that promises a more ambitious third season and the will to keep things fresh by shaking up the status quo. Thumbs up.

@giopep I get what u mean with "overarching story", but it kinda feels relaxing to watch a show that's not rushing things. I hate it, when viewers/ I feel like they're/ I'm being chased through the story by the showrunners slashing a whip at my back to get some more extra speed out of my legs... Ofc we're watching a fictional story here, but just to get it out there: In real life u just don't get that much shit happening ALL the time and therefore I don't want big things to happen in a show ALL the time. Would feel like being constantly hit by a "holy-mother-of-f*ck-what-the-hell-was-that*-machinge gun ;)
Halfway through the third short I literally said "What the fuck am I doing?" and I turned it off.

@giopep You absolutely made the right choice.

Most of the time I have no idea what they're doing or talking about and it still is riveting.

@giopep haha, well said and agreed! I
Like a lot of comedy shows, it takes a bunch of episodes to find its groove but when it clicks, it really does, despite having a very very very bad actress as the main character. The rest of the cast is amazing, though, and the way the season evolves, by destroying network comedy shows clichés and reinventing itself instead of sitting on a bland repetition of it's basic plot is amazing. It's really smart, funny, great TV.

@giopep I have to admit that I watched a couple more episodes and like it a little more... I didn't finish the season yet but I will. Someone convinced me to start watching The Handmaid's Tale and now I'm obsessed lol
The first half of the season is kind of a mess, maybe too ambitious from a plot standpoint, clearly lacking the rythm and the inventions of the first two years. But then it comes together, the fun comes back and the last few episodes are really great, with an amazing season finale and a great cliffhanger.

@giopep The zombies playing hide and seek just about killed me lol
Fuck House of Cards and all the other Netflix series, this is the one. And this season, jesus, is more amazing, deep, tense and moving than ever. Wow.

So much better than everything Marvel/Netflix did after the first season of Jessica Jones.

@giopep Yeah, mostly :) Only Punisher is at least on par with this (if not better).
