wau @ epic fight scene tracking shots
there's one more episode, right? cuz I have a hard time believing the happy prom (w psycho ex lurking in the background) is the end
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:34 (six years ago) link
yes, one more.
I also noticed the direction this time, and even marveled that McBride really seemed to be acting in a few scenes. Lo and behold he directed the episode.

The "highs" (like the wild set pieces) of this show are so great but the lows just aren't carried by the acting/writing in the same way they were in early Eastbound and Down. I feel like it's worth watching for the high points, but it's not the greatest show ever like EB&D felt like it coulda been before it got sweaty

are you saying EB&D is not the greatest show ever cuz I will fight you

first coupla seasons coulda been!

That last episode was balls out nutso. I loved it. The tiger escaping bit. Props to the few ppl upthread who predicted who the shooter was, not that it mattered much in the end.

Finally got around to watching this whole series and really dug it. Actual character arcs and shit, Goggins doing a great job believably dancing on the line between asshole and sociopath.
Yeah that was really well done!

Would take boring season after season of gamby/russell over k.powers tbh. Rewatched both and good lord goggins could’ve held the series on his own.

yeah I fucking love EB&D but this was next level for me.

Any word on this new McBride show, The Righteous Gemstones? I only literally this moment learned of its existence from a random website ad.
― Dez Tekken (Old Lunch), Thursday, 22 August 2019 16:09 (four years ago) link
I watched the first episode, it continues very much in the same vein as his previous two HBO shows - same type of characters, same type of dialogue, same type of conflicts/themes. First ep alternated between mildly amusing and artfully crafted disturbing.
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 22 August 2019 16:13 (four years ago) link
well on second thought maybe it was just the very end that was "oh yikes so uh now this is happening"
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 22 August 2019 16:15 (four years ago) link
Second episode was pretty damn good tho I thought Walter Goggles was going to be in it. Edi Patterson is great and Keefe (the ex-Satanist guy) is just about perfect.

Appearance of Goggins in ep3 def kicked this up a notch
― Οὖτις, Sunday, 1 September 2019 13:36 (four years ago) link
We enjoyed the first ep, but it was a bit of a letdown after two eps of On Becoming a God in Central Florida.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 1 September 2019 14:05 (four years ago) link
I kinda want every episode to just introduce/focus on a new bizarre family member (fingers crossed for stevie janowski appearance)
― Οὖτις, Sunday, 1 September 2019 14:17 (four years ago) link
"let's see those balls ..c'mon!" lol that was p funny, glad Goggins has turned up.

This might be the highest male:female nudity ratio i've ever seen on a show
― With an Extreme Burning (aka The Tormentor) (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Sunday, 1 September 2019 22:40 (four years ago) link
Also more Goodman in ep 3 too, which doesn't hurt.

really liking this
― johnny crunch, Monday, 2 September 2019 17:46 (four years ago) link
some serious Scorsese/Casino vibes with that opening cash-flow montage in the last ep
Feel like this is better than Vice Principals, the bigger cast/broader range of focal points work in its favor

nah, (so far) this has a huge serious core topic that is just a hook to hang tomfoolery upon; Vice Principals treated a very tiny unimportant position as massively important, for greater fundamental comic effect.
also more & better Goggins.

next weeks ep looks like a good flashback one from the teaser, with hopefully much more Goggins.
― calzino, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 20:38 (four years ago) link
kinda wanna poll the wigs/hairstyles on this but Goggins would probably take it easily
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 21:00 (four years ago) link
yeah, hoping the teaser is not in fact merely teasing a whole episode of flashback
― now let's play big lunch take little lunch (sic), Thursday, 12 September 2019 09:12 (four years ago) link
Never made it all the way through vice principals, but i’m enjoying gemstones a lot. i’m not finding it particularly laugh-out-loud funny though, especially compared to eastbound and down. the most consistently funny characters are judy and keefe, but even they are more smirk-inducing than anything

Vice Principals never quite hit for me, although I was watching in binge fashion having not watched it as released.
Gemstones is great so far and the existence of a well-plotted backstory and history really paid off in this week's flashback episode
"Uncle Baby Billy" will never not be funny

I feel like this is just way richer than Vice Principals tbh. Probably deserves it's own thread

just add "(also Righteous Gemstones)" to title

or poll the McBride / Hill / Green cinematic universe and let it clunkily become the default thread for the next decade regardless of how many other series and films they make
