Another great episode. Amanda Peet is stealing the show this season

Lieberstein's response to Peets standard nerd comment was SNAP CITY

Penultimate episode tonight:

The Sand Situation

Spoiler

Michelle feels pressure and turns to Brett and Alex for help; a midnight trip to the beach puts Brett in an awkward situation; Alex worries about Tina's behavior.

I'm going to miss this show. It's the first HBO show that has kept in interested in 5 years.

That was another very good episode. This season has been great. It's a shame that next week is the finale.

 

[Cornballer]

The show is at its best when there's one-on-one dialogue, and the two scenes at the end of the episode were great. The earlier hijinks involving the sand and Dudley's public urination ruse were hilarious.

How the hell is a show this good not getting another season?? It's a fucking travesty

How the hell is a show this good not getting another season?? It's a fucking travesty

It's a bit disappointing to see the show canceled, but the bottom line is that the ratings are very low.

Man I'm going to miss this show. It has been so good this season.

Series finale tonight:

For the Kids

Spoiler

The children inspire Michelle as the foursome makes a last-ditch effort to save her charter school plans.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Oh, it got canceled? That explains it. I was shocked to find it was the series finale this week. Feels like there should be more.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Series finale! Let's do this!

Overall a pretty week way to end the show, but it's not like they could do anything about that.

 

[metsallica]

Enjoyed the use of The Go Team! in the finale.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

The episode was good and I thought it worked very well as a series finale. I would have definitely watched more seasons of the show, but 2 seasons is good enough in my book.

 

[stressboy]

A nice send off. I am going to miss this show.

Fuck man...great ending. I'm really going to miss this show

 

[Effnine]

Great show. Have loved it since the beginning. Very salty HBO isn't renewing this, but I was glad to see them end with some sort of resolution.

really going to miss this show. It was so easy to get attached to these characters

 

[MisterR]

Really loved all the characters in this show. Actually felt a connection to them. This is the most disappointed I've been about a show being cancelled in a while.

 

[BlueTsunami]

As much as I liked this show, I didn't really care for just how prominent the charter school plot was made to be. The resolved arcs between the characters didn't feel earned. As if the show could have used an episode or two to let the closing arcs breath a bit.

Agreed the charter school plot was a distraction, especially since it took up most of the finale

Good interviews that are worth a look.
