Whew, that episode was goddamn incredible. Also, what the fuck at that father/daughter. They're either both on bath salts or they got powers, haha.

Honestly laughed for like 30 minutes straight. One of the best episodes of TV I've watched in fucking years.
I keep hearing how good this show is. Since I have an HBO sub for GoT, guess I should watch it while I have it.
The show has definitely always had a silly streak, it is a dramedy after all, but what we saw last night kicked it up to a whole other level.
Exactly!
Bleh
Absolutely. Check out Vice Principals too if you haven't already and like dark comedies. Probably the best series HBO has had in recent years.
Just got done watching the first two episodes and it's fucking great. Noho Hank kept cracking me up lmao. I'll check out Vice Principals when I get the chance, thanks for the rec.
Oh shit I just realized lily was the name of the feral mongoose.
I hope this episode wins an Oscar or w/e it was an amazing episode.
Edit Stephen Root is so great. I'm so glad he is in this.

I cringed at the shot of Fuches' botched stitch job on Barry. And then I cringed even further when he slathered the superglue over it, lol.
Best episode ever. My wife and I just laughed for a half hour straight. When Barry is trying to talk to the barely alive victim in the store and he says "Come on, don't be an asshole."
I almost thought this was some weird fever dream Barry was having. I was wrong and so happy it wasn't lol
Yeah Barry still casually talking it up with the guy whose wind pipe he broke and whose daughter he was just chasing around as if he'd be cool was peak Barry. Celine Dion in the background also made it. Honestly I can't get over how incredible that episode was from start to finish
This show is so good at " shit gets bad, and then it gets worse"
Like damn, I really thought Barry was going to jail this time.

I don't think it's how it was written, but I read the surreal nature of the episode after the first fight as Barry's skewed interpretation of things after a couple huge blows to the head.
Popping in to say the last episode was brilliant and among the best episodes of any tv show. the sound design of every strike, getting a real fighter to play that role made a difference. The long take, the direction in general. Just an amazing episode.
I just look at it: Barry (the character) did something interesting for once.
(I've had a hard time caring about Barry the character for most of this series. I mostly come back solely for Noho Hank.)

That episode was wild. Loved it. I'd be fully on board if it did go supernatural with the little girl, even though I don't think that's where it's going.
Loved Hader's delivery on "she's not of this world!".
Legitimately bummed that the detective is gone, he was fun. But was probably necessary to add new foils for Barry.

The entire scene with Ronny had some of the best directing ever. The way the camera panned and how it was, basically, all one shot was amazing. Bill Hader's got chops bro.
I hate Fuches btw.

Really great to see Daniel Bernhardt in a role like this. He played one of the Agents in the Matrix films and was also in John Wick and Atomic Blonde.
Oh, that guy. No wonder he looked so familiar.

Just finished all of season 1 last night, goddam this show is good. I wasn't much of a Bill Hader fan before but holy shit, his acting in the season 1 finale was superb.
Oh man hop on S2 now! It's getting even better and crazier haha
I was thinking that too at first, but Fuches was reacting similarly so I took everything at face value.
