I was/am late getting to this show. As I write this there are 5 episodes available in Season 2. We have just watched Episode 2, so we have a few to get caught up on. But...
...Damn! This show is so-o-o-o good, I never even thought that there'd be haters. Well, maybe a few, but not many.
Guess I was wrong.
But, DAMN!
this last ep is epic
shareIt's not a show for everyone, people probably went in expecting a funny comedy about a Hitman becoming a actor with Bill Hader doing his funny stuff mixing with crazy characters. But what they got is a slow burning, very very dark comedy that's more dark violent drama, with a lot of unlikable characters and the main one been a cold blooded killer who's killed both innocent and bad people. It was bound to pick up people who don't like that.
For me it's fantastic.
Thing is I WANT to like this show. I love Hader, Root, and especially Winkler. But the writing is just soooo inconsistent. Sally is annoying, Fuches and Hank are basically cartoon characters, and I go back and forth with Barry. Barry is one of the dumbest excuses for a hitman I've ever seen. Committing crimes/killing in broad daylight where everyone can see him, bringing a handgun to a place full of hitman carrying semi-automatics and conveniently taking everyone out, and don't get me started on where Barry dumped Moss' car. The police did a thorough investigation, thorough enough to where the investigation was called off. Then in the finale we see the car is dumped in plain sight....How did the cops not find that car? it's getting hard to ignore all the plot conveniences. And I know it's a comedy and people will tell me I shouldn't be thinking too much about these things, but I call BS. Especially since this is a show getting emmy nominations, I'm holding you to a higher standard.
Season one was descent, with a LOT of potential to grow and get better with time. Season two kind of lost me a bit. I'll give three a chance, maybe it gets better, if not, prob bow out.
