super excited for this one after having seen the OA

@samip537 the OA is another show by the same creators (Zal Batmanglij, Brit Marling) and also starring Brit.
A part of me always looks forward to a new episode, but it has become so undeniably bad.
- Every few minutes there's random sex scenes or weird comments which makes it seem like they go for that "chaotic vibe" the first seasons had but it all just falls flat.
- Why did Carl leave military school with such a bad reputation? Wasn't that the one thing he actually worked hard for and he was good at? How much time did pass here anyway for him to graduate already? And what was that utterly random sex compilation with Kelly? That story felt so unnecessary.
- Frank's story seems the same as it has been for years - He's an addict doing illegal things, annoying everyone and still not getting kicked out or ending up in jail.
- During the intro I forgot how much I hate Tami, but then she immediately appears at the first scene and I had to skip forward. I honestly hope she is dead and I do realize how harsh that sounds, but I don't care about her or her shitty personality at all. I find her so completely repulsive that I'm close to skipping all her scenes. But I saw her in the current season poster, so unfortunately I think she'll stick around.
- Isn't Debbie's story recycled as well? I feel like we already saw that clothing scam a few times, though maybe I'm confusing this with other shows. Wild guess - She'll ruin a really expensive dress and has to tell the truth. (Btw how is it possible for her to return underwear? Everywhere I buy underwear the cashier clearly tells you they won't be able to take it back because of sanitary reasons. Though I don't shop at Victoria's Secret or Gucci, so maybe that's different.)
- Kevin is still one of my favorites and I actually am highly surprised they remembered he danced in a gay bar in previous seasons. Shameless is lacking so much continuity nowadays that it's really impressive they actually remembered that and used it for his story.

@haibara Don't feel bad. I also find Tami character to be annoying and unneeded. I was shocked when I found out Carl had bad reputation in military school. Like what? That is the only thing he cared about. To answer your question. It was due to the fact that he stood for this boy who kept getting picked on which later he finds out wants to turn into a girl. Now you can see how crazy this show has gotten.
Yeah, really miss SCC too. Canceled way to early.

@samip537 yes. I meant the Sarah Connor Chronicles of course ;-)
I have just recently stumbled across this show, and this is really good. I never thought I would like this just by it's description and name, but they can be really misleading in that way that you have to watch it to be able to determine if it's for you or not.
I keep wishing that there were more episodes to watch, but unfortunately there is none.
