There's so much about this show that I loved, but the part that made me straight up gasp was when they started talking about the crows and the Dick Cheney mask, because I remember that story! (Sadly paywalled NYT link here.)

Love that it was true!
The crows bit in the last episode was very rocks in EEAAO without spoilers for that movie!

i have not finished this yet but I'm absolutely loving it. I don't know why it's so engaging to watch two characters continually make the absolute worst decisions over and over again but Ali Wong and Steven Yeun are utterly mesmerizing in this.

This was really difficult to watch. Though, I did like that ending. I started watching episode two fresh off of finishing the book Hidden Valley Road, and the intensity of those two stories brought up some painful memories and I had to walk away from the show for a few days.
But I could feel the power of this show pulling me back, and while it didn't really get any easier to watch, I'm glad I returned. I wouldn't call it a redemption story, but that ending was what I really, really needed from this show.

Loved it. I've heard that it's good for rewatching, so I think I want to try and put the end next to the beginning. Oh, and I don't know if I fell asleep but it seemed like Danny just popped up with the new truck and I only figured out the "Isaac's money" part afterward? Did that coincide with him rocking everybody's world at the church?

And just so I have this right, pretty much everybody wound up [click for spoiler]
in jail except for Amy, Danny, Paul and both halves of Maria Bello? And Mia, and Naomi, and etc...Isaac, Bobby, Michael, and George?posted by rhizome at 8:44 PM on April 19, 2023
So can I just say that I started watching this under solely the pretense "comedy about a road rage incident gone awry" and that left me WHOLLY UNPREPARED? My lord. This show is outstanding but VERY STRESSFUL and I don't know how y'all can stand to binge watch it. My nervous system couldn't possibly handle it. Just finished ep 7 last night, I both cannot wait and am dreading to see what's next.

Oh my god so good. I did not know what I was getting into. An over the top plot inhabited by exquisitely human characters. My heart just broke.
