Yep. Binged watched this back in October. I have to say, I was a little underwhelmed with the ending of Season 1 but i liked it enough to give it a shot if it ever gets a Season 2.
The one thing that bothered me with the last episode was this:
I'm pretty sure the whole "confession" that Thorton got by the CEO was illegally obtained....no?

2 episodes in. 2nd episode was a little slow, but ended solid. Will keep watching, BBT does a great job in this character.
Not really sure what to think of Cooperman and his clicker. At first it wasn't bad, now it is just annoying.

2nd season out. Watched it over the weekend. Not sure how I felt about it, especially the final episode. Don't want to spoil too much. Billy Bob is the man though, and enjoy seeing him work.

I thought for the first 6.5 episodes it was phenomenal...so dark...excellent acting (thought Duplass was outstanding) all around...great story.....
But something is just bothering me about the 2nd half of episode 7

Clearly, Billy is holed up in that Mexican house by Gabriel's guys. Throughout the entire season, Gabriel has ties to guys that are ruthless, pointed, and get the job done. A few examples (1) killing Roman's family and the cop that was supposed to watching them (2) Killing Julio in jail.
How are we supposed to believe that a 60+ year old lawyer and a 40+ year old lady in platform shoes are going to get away from some of Gabriel's guys in his own hometown? Just stupid.
There could've been countless ways for him to get out that was more plausible....right?
But I thought episode 8 was great.
Still a solid B+ in my book, but anything different in episode 7, I would've given in an A+.

Season 2 was god awful. We loved season 1.

Added to my growing list of shows to watch.
By the way, if you're a huge TV nerd like me, check out the TV Time app. Great way to track all your shows.

I read a recap on the season to see what happens at the end and wound up fast forwarding to the one scene in the finale. So weird. I hope it's a normal story in Season 3. Not sure if I'll be back yet though.

I finished season 1 and enjoyed it for the most part. Decent story line. BBT is great and makes it worth the watch. Cooperman is weird and creepy. I almost stopped watching after he lured Lucy up to his office and greeted her in the nude, but I powered through it. I was a little disappointed in the courtroom stuff...weak case presented...was getting crushed at every turn, but somehow persuaded the jury with that weak ### closing argument, I guess. OK, fine...it is a TV show, but it could have been much better.

I didn't even finish season 2. I'll wait for reviews until giving S3 a shot.The way season 2 ended up I figured the writers were just saying "let's burn this thing down". Surprised it got another season. I will still watch it.
Just watch first episode of 3. Looks like it is taking some weird voodoo route or something. I am getting the vibe that the writers feel the need to keep getting weirder. I still kind of liked season 2 minus the fetish stuff, but I am having my doubts season 3 is going to draw me in.

ever since I watched season 2, I've been dressing like the dude who wears workout clothes every day and everywhere.

I have only watched episode 1 of season 3, but isn't that what they are trying to do? Admittedly, not effectively.

I'm much later than you. Started it last night and powered through three episodes. Loving it so far.
Will likely pass on Season's 2 and 3, I guess.

2&3 are worth watching the just aren’t as outstanding as season 1 was. But still above average and worth a watch.

Through 4.2 and the final season is a bit painful.
