I like the new pieces they laid out for the story in episode 2. Like Robbie telling Maeve one thing about the boy, and the boy confirming a much different thing for her. The uneasiness with the biological daughter and the adoptive daughter coming to head with the table conversation really built well. I'm curious how the Biker Gangs investigation inside their ranks will develop as the Task force also tries to get to that source. The fall out of the Bikers attacking Peaches spot should really open shyt up in the next episode.

Yep, after the 2nd episode I can empirically say that the kidnapped child plotline is retarded as fukk.

The kid being able to evade law enforcement and simply get back in the car. :mjlol:
100.

It really does detract from the show, which otherwise set up a decent enough premise without it. That plot device almost borders on being slapstick comedy and it's not the type of show that would really benefit from an element like that. It doesn't add any balance.

As much as people hated Anthony Jr...that's as close to a real kid's behavior I've seen on TV given who his dad is.

Yes!

Dad is a mob boss who is gone most of the time, and got put out by his mom for a bit.

The cup party, simping the single mom, trying to off himself when she broke up with him, all signs of trying to live up to his dad, and looking for validation from a woman who came from circumstances different circumstances than his own (Captain Save A Ho)

Had my doubts about where the story could actually go that was compelling after episode one, but i see the vision now :ehh:


Ser Criston playing a fed is straight comedy :mjlol:

I was trying to figure out where the fukk I know dude from:russ:

He did an interview with the cast of HOTD, and he mentioned working in the US, and liking a cheesesteak. He had to explain what it was. They thought it was a steak with cheese on top.

:heh:

Is this legit? Kinda intrigued but I don't need another show about (white) working class criminals just trying to provide for their families lol. Or maybe I'm just basing that off the trailers.

I think it's better than the trailer sold. Cause I felt one way watching the trailer, but a different way after watching the show. The themes of white working class criminals is still fully there though.

I imagine at some point the kid will be used as leverage which is why he's still a good part of the story. I'm hoping this won't happen but I'm betting Maeve will pay the price for Robbie's sins at some point. Curious to where the show is going but I'm interested.

Once shyt went left and their boy got killed at the trap house, it was over for Robbie. This wasn't just about money for him, it appears to be a personal vendetta tied to it. The kid saw their faces, maybe the kid could have identified them, who knows. Robbie ain't some random dude to the biker gang, they know who he is, it's a small community

Exactly, how that kid get back in the car?

They should have made the kid autistic nonverbal for the plot.

They don't review security footage?

I don't care for the family drama.

I am still going to watch because the familiar accents make me laugh.
