I get the feeling that Dr. Brown realizes who torched her house and is setting the two of them up so that she can get definitive proof and close the trap, and also that Lee didn't really steal anything and that the brooch was bait for Gamby to hang himself with.

The broach definitely feels like something that's going to come up later and bite people in the rear end.

That's exactly what I thought as well. It's pretty obvious foreshadowing. Lol who doesn't sell it?!

This show is completely my jam. As other posters have said, that escalation in the house was fantastic. This show is deliciously dark and hosed up

Not sure why you've watched any of their stuff, none of this seems for you. Perhaps give the Grey's Anatomy a go  That switch from the brooch toss to the student driver taking 5 years to pull away was pretty great. Agree that it will turn up somewhere in the future.

Loved this episode. McBride/Goggins/Hill were on Nerdist recently and McBride said about the show that you've seen the movie where the good teacher comes in and turns around the school a million times before, but you've never seen it told by the assholes who want to stop them. It's a good summation of the show and their comedy in general. In another movie Kenny Powers would be the villain. They did also talk about tone, and how they don't really think about it, but did say that as the show went on it would get darker and more dramatic.

I watched the first two episodes back to back and loved it. The combination of comedy and horror is a perfect balance for me.

I never got into Eastbound and Down, but Walton Goggins has some ridiculous charisma going on. His feminine sashaying is hypnotic.

Watched last night's episode and wasn't as thrilled with it as the first two. Kind of a weird departure from the first two episodes and was disappointed in the lack of Groggins. It's amazing how they're setting up McBride's character to fall hard though.

Gamby's right: a mudslide is not a drink, it's a dessert. (Also, Ms Snodgrass is boring, Neal should have stayed with Ms Abbot. Think of all the turkey legs they could have eaten!)

I like the subtle differences with Gamby and Kenny Powers. They seem similar on the surface but Gamby is way more of a controlling creepy weirdo, who constantly bends the rules but also manages to tell himself he's doing everything by the book. Also really hoping they don't split Gamby & Russell up for too many episodes. Illinois Smith fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Aug 1, 2016 |

Parasol Prophet posted:Also the drumline/marching band soundtrack is so good. Check out Cassidy Byars on Spotify or at this site: http://www.freedrumlinemusic.com/ Those albums show up on my Spotify shuffle a lot and I'm pretty drat familiar with them, and I can confidently say that many of those tracks are used note for note in this show. They either got him involved in writing the soundtrack or they just straight up used that music and didn't pay him because, duh, FreeDrumlineMusic.com. As someone who has taught, played in, and written music for drumlines at all levels, I love these tracks; they're legitimately good and I have no idea why he'd give away the rights to them, but there ya go. Anyway, that's my contribution. Check 'em out if you liked 'em in the show.

Also the credits song for the second episode was a Shawn Lee song (who's been doing breakbeat stuff since the 90s). I hadn't heard anything new by the guy for years but still recognized him immediately. Also also I love the 80s synth stuff they work in as well, like the music that was playing this episode when Gamby gets hit with the meat.

Like, the first post in that guy's Facebook ticker on the site is him linking to a commercial that used one of his pieces, do you think that oil company didn't have to pay him either? Because his domain name contains the word "free"?

Are you friends with Cassidy Byars on Facebook or something? Did his music get used in a commercial for oil? And fwiw I've known professional drumlines to use Byars's music without so much as an acknowledgement of its source, even in environments where they were being filmed and broadcast across national media. For years it's been the largest and best source of "stock" drumline music on Spotify and probably other music/social media sites as well. So yeah, I think it could have potentially happened. I didn't realize this would be such a hot button issue for anyone in this thread!

I just came to tell everyone that, if they enjoyed the drumline music in this show, they can look up Cassidy Byars on Spotify and listen to it there, plus more. HBO probably did pay him for it but we have no real way of knowing from what I can tell. Are you satisfied with those two sentences?

I liked this episode a lot. I like how each episode so far has a slightly different tone and focus, but it's clearly building to further disaster and mayhem. I noticed that McBride directed this episode and I liked the couple of visual montages (at the historical park and then at the hotel where they were running around looking for the missing students). I thought the Ms. Abbott subplot was weak right up until the scene where Gamby returns back to his room and she's sitting there with the binder in her lap. The final scene of everybody getting back on the bus was agonizingly good, so much tension from so many directions.

I loved the shot where each person had a floor/hall and Gamby was riding the elevator surveying the whole place. It was also very Wes Anderson-y.

That was amazing, those last few mins of episode 4. It could have easily been a season finale they way they left it. It is going to be crazy watching them try to top this next week.

Last week was losing me because cringe is very much not my thing. I could recognize that it was done well, but I couldn't stand to watch it. This week, however, was incredible. I loved the principal's faceturn, as well as (McBride's?) slow coming to realizations and sympathies. This is a good show.

Really suprised this thread is so low-traffic. Seen all 4 eps now and although 3 was a bit different I liked that it added some depth to Gamby and 4 added some depth to Brown. Looking forward to a Russell-focused episode. I like the pacing so far. If every episode constantly upped the ante even they'd quickly run out of places to go. edit: Oh yeah and the music is loving phenomenal. In Ep1 where Gamby thinks he got the principals job and slow-mo comes in to the office and sees the chair I knew I was hooked. hottubrhymemachine fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Aug 8, 2016 |

But I'm affraid that this being McBride's cocreation it will not focus on Russell as much, unfortunately keeping him on the sidelines although he might be one of the most fascinating comedy characters since Arrested Development's Tobias and Gob.
