I was iffy on the show at first but it’s gotten steadily better each episode, loved this one! mac and KJ on the dirt bike had me tearing up
Did a comedy show just make me cry? Yes. Yes, it fucking did.
Good to see someone finally talk some fucking sense into midge. Been waiting for that all season.
There are no words to express it. This is a masterpiece show. This show touches my deep heart every time, and I can't even wait for season 3 to come out.
everytime i think cassie has hit rock bottom that girl gets LOWER.
That was an interesting episode about manipulation tactics. Well written, directed, and acted.
A terrible attempt to adapt a great story. There's not weight, no plausability, no thought, no reflection, not even a logical consequence of events, not even a sense of accomplishment in finding out the mystery behind the hoods. Point a to point b to point c without any effort. I can appreciate for the screenwriter to adapt it completely different, like he did, but he didn't do shit with the story and fall back into a common story, absolutely dumbing it down.
Gary and the lipstick was an unexpected hit right in the feels.
Gonna miss these awful people.
An embarrassingly bad and thoroughly unentertaining waste of time. I want my 50 minutes back.
The worst episode of the serie.
The premise had promise, but this episode was so incredibly dull that it took me three attempts before I managed to watch it all the way through.
that's it. I mean, how is it possible to fail this episode too? The short story Sales Pitch is amazing, what is this crap instead? Poor Philip Dick
“i think you’re a fucking faggot just like your daddy”
JULES RULES MY WORLD AAAAAA :sweat_smile:
Amazing. This has to be one of the best finales ever! The season started a bit slow, but soon it picked up, and the week felt so long waiting for the next episode. So well acted, deliciously camp and very "twisty". 9,5/10
HAS ANNIE EVER ASKED ANYONE HOW THEY ARE DOING????? I've never see her ask like "hey amadi/dad/mom/fran/maureen how are you doing, what's new with you?" It's always ME ME ME ME.
I'm so shocked at that article cause I thought it was supposed to be like an expose, that's why last comment I was like isn't her reporting odd? cause what can you get about them out of that experience? I thought she was going to make a "feminist" piece of like how that separatist old lady though being feminisit was like serving her husband vs how Annie sees feminism or some mumble jumble like that, I never thought she would write about eating pie and shooting guns with them, like this isn't your journal, but everything is so quirky to her, she's like peak white feministm I don't know if this is on purpose?
And Em meeting Fran's mom was so heartwarming!!!!! I get why Fran could feel like invaded somehow but it was a cute moment.
Can we get a spin off of Fran working at the salon and ricochet and em!!
Wow! Just wow. That tango was incredible and so well filmed and put together
It was too hard to watch the death scenes.Thats when I realised I'm in so love with this series!
Happy that I ignored reviews and decided to watch this and waited 9 weeks for this worthy series
Fantastic way to complete the first season - if there is to be a second season - the final episode was so well filmed and lovely to tie everything together. Well done and definitely worth watching.
The final death scene is so well filmed in such a clever way. And the end scene is so nice to connect all the stories together.
Everything is great.
Story, effects, lore, cinematography, music, sound design, costumes, characters - the whole thing is just good at being exactly what it intends to be.
It nails its tone and keeps impressing me. It’s not flawless but I’m very into it.
Can’t wait to see where it goes!
Bump my score up one full point because of those two little girls, the creepiest horror imagery I've seen in a long, long time.
Best cold open of the show!
the scene with Jim and Michael at the end was great. Jim was able to connect with Michael without the intention of doing so.
Joel is so annoying... I can't believe she went back to him after he dumped her twice and kept blaming her for the break up. Benjamin is way better for her.
Oh, Midge. What about Dr. Ben? Didn't like him at first, but I do now. Too bad.
The producers really struck gold with this one. One of the craziest stories with some of the most batshit insane people you have ever seen. I mean seriously, if this was a scripted show I would stop watching because the characters are too fucking crazy and unbelievable. But this is actually real. What The Actual Fuck.
It's definitely a batshit-crazy story for our times, and I enjoyed the mad ride. However, the producers really had an agenda going into this, and I find myself resentful of their overall editorial approach. A few points:
Joe Exotic is a bad guy. He's charismatic and fascinating to watch, but the show does a lot to gloss over his actions. The series does its best to gloss over what he did and let him express his own side of the story, but come on. The guy was being harassed by Carole Baskin for legitimate reasons (exploiting and breeding exotic animals) and reacted in the most insane way. This is a guy who manipulated straight guys into marrying him in exchange for a steady supply of drugs.
The series does a huge disservice to Carole Baskin. Is she insane? Hell yeah she is. But crazy isn't a reason to send someone to prison. Yeah, she's as obsessed with big cats as the rest of the cast of crazies, but the huge difference is that she RESCUES exploited animals. She doesn't breed them. She doesn't sell them for profit. That the big takeaway of the series is "Well, she is as insane as the rest of them" really does a huge disservice to a significant difference between Baskin and the exotic pet breeders.
The series really overplays the "Baskin killed her husband" angle to prop up Joe Exotic and for the shock of it. It presents a lot of "facts" as-is to support this without exploring the arguments against them. For instance, Don's Power of Attorney included the activation clause for disappearance because Don Baskin was legitimately concerned he might disappear without a trace in Costa Rica.
So. A cool story, overall, and a crazy cast of characters, but it's unfortunate that people are taking this series as definitive documentary truth when it's a well-spun fiction with amplified craziness for the sake of shock value.
I feel that I have lost years off of my life from watching this film.
