It goes into a VERY slow burn for a bit.. But last weeks show had some pretty good moments and has some intriguing story lines going.

Just watched and was waiting for the "devastating" moment and nothing hit me.. unless.The fact it looks like Teddy and Ted are about to both get divorced?

One relationship ending, another one up in the air, and a new one possibly beginning.

The scene with Ted Jr and Tawney was devastating
The scenes with Janet and Ted in the car and his quiet resentment....just a lot of repressed unspoken anger
Daniel blowing up at Manny...then the touching scene of the housemates really backing Daniel
Daniel talking about being abused in prison....helps to understand his rage with Manny and why he coffee-cracked Ted Jr.
Chloe's line " I can't save you"
Just pure quiet tension with such raw emotion bubbling so intensely beneath the surface

I think this is close to it, at least for me. It's like being torqued up, but so slowly I don't realize it's happening. There aren't any releases, you know? No Red Wedding or Ozymandias (as awful as they were). It's not what's actually being said by the characters; it's what they are NOT saying - the "words between the words", I guess.

It started real slow this year.. a slower burn then normal.. But it has been much better the last 3 weeks and I'm once again looking forward to each week.

One more episode left.
If my math is correct, there will only be 30 episodes in total when all is said & done. I hope that is a short-enough commitment that people will watch this show.
This past episode felt like a series finale to me for many of the main characters - Teddy, Ted, Janet, Amantha, Tawny, new-sorta-main-character-Chloe. Wouldn't shock me a bit to see none of them next week. In fact, I would be fine with it if THIS had been the finale. I do not expect a neat bow tying everything up next week with a "Teddy went on to be a US Senator; Tawny became the WNBA's all-time leading scorer" montage during the closing credits.

Still about an episode behind, but man, Daniel and his mama is always some of the best TV there ever was. Daniel telling her about his lady friend was really hilarious (and heartwarming, of course).

I binged this on Netflix and then caught up on the final season through the AMC App. To me, this is one of the most powerful series with some of the better performances I have watched since The Wire. I may be a bit hyperbolic with those statements but I cared about every character in this series sometimes over and above Daniel.
