Not quite enjoying the new season as much. It is ok. But we have the wife leaving him at the end of the last episode for something that is not even his fault. Way to stand by your man. Its like these TV shows want us to hate these wife characters. So he offers to move. They could move away and be good. But the kid won't go and she of course says they can't go if kid doesn't go and he agrees. Then she decides to leave him. WTF? Hope it gets better.

Im slipping out on this shite. Just watched the latest one. It’s just too fricking labyrinthian for me most of the time as a casual viewer. It’s practically a mandatory full season watch so my feeble mind can follow. Is it just me?

Im so preoccupied with all the different realities I can’t even remember why everyone hates Jason and calls him a rotten prick. I mean, I remember him pushing buddy out the door the one time and closing it?

Either way. They made it look entirely too simple for 3 dead sons to move into a poor 80 year old mom’s house and camp out. She seemed totally cool with everything right off the rip. Most people would run screaming in front of a train

If you’re writing about “Love and be loved,” I disagree.

That was one of the most touching episodes of television I’ve seen in awhile.

They did an amazing job diverting from the main plot to focus on the life of one of the Jasons, still hurting but looking for redemption - and he finds it in his mother and a new love. No BS. No lies. Just honesty and perspective.

Now we know why he knows sign. Again, I thought it was a beautiful hour of television.

I thought it was a really good and touching episode, my only concern is having a bottle episode when seasons are so short. We have no idea what’s going on with Jimmi Simpson and Alice Braga, what Jason is doing while Daniela left, what she’s up to etc. Luckily this season has 10 episodes instead of 6, like last season, so being episode 5 isn’t that bad.

I watched the episode over the weekend, and... damn.

What I found most striking is that they use the mother's deafness as a foundation for the overall quietness of the episode. That quiet, slows the tempo a bit but the story of that Jason still moves efficiently just through the visuals. What caught me off-guard was how the silence helped subtly underscore the weight of the story that episode was telling (and you don't realize it until the end).

As the story quiely moves on, it tells a story of the incredible lows of his life, his rebuildings, some of those rebuildings being torn down, his continuing to move on and re-rebuild and then that eventual and pivotal scene at the end (on the bed) when everything else in the episode all ties together to make a deep and resonating statement.

fricking stellar episode.

I don't know what I was expecting, but a warm and cozy "waystation" with a welcoming sign wasn't in the mix. Another good episode with some solid closure though.

I’m caught up now - S2E9. Last episode was decent. I like season 2 more than 1.

The end of S2 was interesting. I haven't read up on the show but they are definitely winding down the series. If there were another half-dozen episodes this season I would say it was ending this season.
