Finally just caught this show


It’s like we’ve finally gotten the long awaited sequel to Gross Pointe Blank

Needs to be an hour long.


Really enjoyed the first episode. Exceeded expectations. And the Fonz is in it. Cool.

Disagree re one hour. I like the 30 minute shows, especially for comedies. Some of the one hour ones seems to end up with a bunch of filler after a while. Keep it short and punchy.

Gross Pointe Blank


Agreed. At first. Then, although his character seems every bit as reflective as Cusack’s in GPB, it appears not as self-centered and highly motivated. Looking forward to more episodes. (I guess everyone noticed that the character’s mentor was “Milton” from Office Space.)

Wild that they filmed this in 2016 and it has been sitting in the can for two years waiting on a slot in the hbo lineup

No shite. I would have been totally ok with them bumping lena dunham to fit this show in.

Yeah, wasn't the first episode leaked over a year ago in that HBO hack?

I found myself laughing at every one of the bald Chechen's lines last night. He's hilarious.

Henry winkler is solid.

Everyone focus. Now I wish I could say that this is the first time one of my students was gunned down in the street, but it's not. And as much as it pains me to say it, it's most likely not the last.

Thought the second episode was pretty good even though it was more of a set up for future episodes. I'm really interested for future episodes because I've read it gets pretty dark.

That had me laughing. The entire bullet conversation, Stephen Root as the accidental Hannibal Lecter...

I have enjoyed each episode and the show has a lot of potential. It’s my favorite new HBO show. The allopecia mobster is great.

Interested to see where the show goes from here. God, I felt bad for Barry after last night's episode.
