For any non-french speakers out there: at the very beginning of the episode, when The Boys are all back together in the new office, at some point Frenchie calls Butcher "Mr. Charcutier".
The joke being that in French, a "butcher" is called a "charcutier".

It felt like something was missing, I would've loved if they could've added at least two more episodes to explore all these events, the season was full of time skips which I despise in any show and the whole show felt rushed, somewhat sad for a show this great to end this way imo
It felt rushed. They wrapped things up in 15 minutes and the rest was a flash forward to a Sally play and a spoof movie? No.
The hesitancy of Jeff while giving his number to Claire got me curious. He was leaving his number to the fridge guy at the beginning of this episode as 773-555-0901. He told Claire as 0902. A sad tiny detail.
Might be my fav episode of the season so far. Full of hope and redemption.
Creepy creepy creepy. The tension in this show is absolutely perfect, the acting is first rate, the soundtrack music is atmospheric and the camera work is spot on.... show of the year so far!
Modern noir private detective. Farrell is handsome and likeable. The writing is good. The editing and arty stylized images makes it distinct. The imagery mixing with old Hollywood movies is a great touch. I immediately fell in love with this detective story.
I am very much into this.
It's cool, slick, thoughtful, it has its own style... It's throwing references around while doing its own thing.
Feel like we have a hit.
Well, that was unexpected. But some hints got their explanations: the strange seizures of Sugar, the fact that he can knock back literally litres of liqour without getting sloshed, that debriefing when he was chastised for registering his feelings, that talk "We just observe."
To be honest, I expected some kind of awkward international spy ring who "just observe" because... why, exactly?
I see a kind of wild game the show's creators played:
1. A classic detective noir, if finished like a proper detective story, would probably have left a dry reception, like "Okay, we've seen this 100x times."
2. Secret spy ring or a shady organization... Just observing? Yeah, right, thanks for nothing.
3. At least, this is a twist that's not everyday for a detective noir.
Let's see how our PIA's story unfolds.
Wow what a show. Loved each episode and really hope we see a season 2 at some point.
