Okay - haven’t watched but you made a great case. I’m gonna go dark ‘cuz you say the writing’s there.

Thanks for reading, Sean.

To be clear, this ain't The Wire. The plotting of this show is kinda messy and all over the place. It works better scene-to-scene than as a whole. It's not GOOD good, but it knows what it's doing.

Fun fact, Liam: Sheridan used the meth-trailer-explosion-killing-a-child bit in two shows—INS THE SAME SEASON. That happened in Yellowstone, too.

The stones on that guy.

loool I completely forgot about that. That's so good. Hey, when you have to singlehandedly write and direct 50 episodes of television a year, you take some shortcuts.

LOL!!! Not to mention going back to the classics from time to time in order to value vintage Dad shows against today’s.

Worth a shot. And… just curious. With all that’s out there to cover what’s your view load per week (hrs)?

Not even close to enough to keep up with it all. Unless I’m actively watching something for review, maybe 10-15 hours a week.
