That was a nice ending. Took a lot of guts to do that one.

Did anyone else prefer s. 1 to 2?
I don't know if it was the theme (class over gender), characters/cast (Britton, Bartlett, Zahn, Daddario were better than most of the cast in s2 i found) or destination but s1 was much more entertaining to me. Murray Bartlett > all.
I just found the characters were also slightly more sympathetic or understandable (other than Tanya who marketably improved in s2), while as in season 2, everyone was insufferable (either stupid or dicks), except Aubrey Plaza's character who felt the most realistic or relatable.

I relate so much to Aubrey Plaza's character... Like, we are the exact same. Except I would never turn down Prosecco. Same here

Potential mother figures that I aspire to be; shameless con artists that know how to secure the bag and dipping out to look for their next mark. Take several notes... Madly disappointed by Tanya’s arc and her lack of basic critical thinking skills though. I understand the shtick of her character but White somehow made her more inept and one note this season. Yeesh…

I thought the writing was sharper in season 1, but I preferred the characters in season 2.

Oh honeys, I preferred the sharp social commentary slash shitstorm in S1... but S2 had more educational value.
I'm guessing that if there's a S3 with the magnificent JCool it will have to be a prequel to S1 and deal with her earlier life which could also be a lot of fun...

Not a bad idea to bring her back...... Cast someone as her mother.... Faye Dunaway?

Prefer S2 to S1. Funnier, better characters, better setting, much better ending, and I preferred the focus on sexual politics. I don't think S1 went far enough with its class politics and the ending it sort of devolved into crude absurdity without pushing things nearly far enough in other areas. S2 is better all around and a more satisfying experience IMO. Even the credits are better!
I didn't think Coolidge could top what she did in S1 but she went and topped it. Absolutely hilarious performance

The blogs are saying that Coolidge will be back, and the setting is Japan.Would love this. And makes sense for HBO, they have cast/crew on payroll already for Tokyo Vice. I wanna see Parker Posey and Walton Goggins as a Southerny couple who keep misinterpreting the bushido code; Mala Morgan and her estranged father Stephen Graham who falls for Camille Cottin who's a journalist secretly investigating a hotel rumor..... and Tadanobu Asano as the concierge. Etc etc!

Ok so despite my previous claims that "you probably couldn't pay me to watch this show," I have now in fact watched the first season... As I sorta suspected I don't think this show has like a single original idea, but in its soap opera antics it's pretty entertaining. Bartlett's character is definitely the best & the show works best as this kind of Punch Drunk Love/Uncut Gems esque portrait of hectic day(s) in his life where everything is falling apart - that awesome percussive score really helps build that feeling of anxiety. Coolidge also does a nice job playing the most broadly realized character with more genuine humanity that anyone else has. Zahn also really, really good. I think like with almost any ensemble piece like this, parts of it are just way better than others ... but when it works it's pretty enjoyable. That said the ending is pretty stupid ... why is Armond's body even getting shipped back to the mainland? He's an Aussie who lives in Hawai'i I thought for sure that Quinn was gonna walk into the ocean or something.
