Gamby's regret is something we never really experienced with Eastbound and Down. It's great to see the character develop a bit faster.

And the line about eating a pool ball like an apple made me do a spit take.

Fucking amazing episode. This is up there with any of the best episodes of Eastbound.

The actress who plays Dr. Brown is fantastic.

Awesome episode. I didn't like the show as much as Easbound when it started but now it's getting to the same level.

Has this been renewed for a second season yet?

They do such a good job of making you see Belinda as a bit of a bitch with the way she was reacting to her kids wanting to go back home but then making you feel so awful for her by the end. We all get to feel Gamby's regret so well. The show is just so well executed.

I love this show's ability to shift gears and genres quickly. The end of the episode was like a horror movie all of the sudden.

Yes. They have shot all 18 episodes of the series. We will see the conclusion next year.

I was bummed that the trailer showed that moment. Yes, next week is the finale.

I love how fast Gamby self sabotaged his relationship with Snodgrass. And Goggins was the highlight of this episode again, his facial expressions combined with Dr. Brown's antics were comedy gold.

This is currently the best comedy on television.

Man, Gamby turning on Brown is so damn petty. You can tell he knows he fucked up, but he's also past the point of no return. It really broke my heart to see Brown let her kids go--and that isn't even Gamby's doing (at least actively).

Same. I was waiting for that and guy dropping from the gym ceiling all episode.

Only thing we haven't seen in the show yet that was big in the trailer was
a car exploding in the parking lot
.

That should be fucking interesting next week.

That might be one of my favourite episodes of a comedy ever. This show is incredible and manages its darkness very well.

Can't believe there's only one more episode and a season left.

Holy shit, I just looked her up and she's Scottish. She looks and sounds like the type of southern US person Jody Hill always puts in his shows/movies, so I was sure she was American. Crazy.

This show has really hit its stride, it's so fun to watch. Lee pushing Mi-Cha away was amazing. I haven't seen trailers so that came as a surprise and worked really well. Gamby seeing he fucked up was cool to see as well, Lee just encouraging Brown to do nasty shit was painful to see.

This show has been great. Man, this episode went some dark places. Have to feel sorry for Belinda, Russell is just so savage.

Just started watching it nd it is great. Gamby could be a half good dude if he tried. Lee is a psychopath.

Do they ever explain lee's marriage?

Can't believe they used Shawn Lee's dope Christmas carol music. This show has a great soundtrack.


And jeeeeeesus @ Beast Mode Belinda. What a mess lol

Damn I felt sorry for Gamby. I mean he should never have brought her to that restaurant but just as he was having second thoughts everything just exploded out of his control. It was like those Wile E. Coyote cartoons where just a tiny push with the tip of the finger is enough to cause a landslide.

Edit: Also from a structural point of view Belinda's escalation very nicely mirrors the escalation at the end of the first episode. Essentially this is the response that was building up within her the entire season. It's very well designed in a Greek play sort of way, with the boys sick of living in the hotel being such a huge factor in their decision to leave. At this point in the story Russel comes off as almost irredeemable (at least within the given time frame).

I think Lee's domestic life is my favorite part of the show. His constant anger, his battles with the mother-in-law, and his slow descent into madness (or is he already there?) is incredible. Walton Goggins is the best.
