(FOUR) THEORETICAL LOVE IS NOT DEAD
SPOILER ALERT. Tons of spoilers here. If you’re just into it STOP. If you want to watch it in the future STOP. If not… read on. The show has been entertaining for awhile. The first few seasons were great and then storyline wise and literally… it all went south. After the fifth season the family went on the lamb. I liked the finales most apparently, this is the sixth season finale. After season three the show sucked ass. I didn’t want to keep watching, but I grew connected to the characters and I’m a masochistic completist. I stuck it out because I wanted to know what happened. This episode brought back that old excitement. The family goes away and Nancy FINALLY gets caught. That whole “oh shit!” moment was back for the first time in awhile.
(THREE) THE GODMOTHER
The first season was so fresh and fun, but sadly it would dry out pretty quickly. The first season finale was fun as hell to watch. The grow house idea was brought to life, Silas is officially told about the weed, Andy attempts to become a rabbi to avoid the military, Celia was in full bitch mode, Isabella is outted as a lesbian, and Vaneeta gives birth. LOTS of shit went down and it was all so excited. The big deal was of course Nancy’s first real big screw up. She was just getting into her grove as a weed dealer when we find out her new boyfriend is a DEA agent.
(TWO) PITTSBURGH
The second season finale was another great episode. The grow house is up and running, Nancy’s DEA husband is onto her, Shane is weird as hell, Doug and Celia are at it, Silas is stealing surveillance cameras, and all hell breaks loose. The end sees a huge standoff over missing drugs. It was really intense and the wait between season 2 and 3 felt like forever.
(ONE) GRASSHOPPER
The thing about this episode that stands out the most was Doug’s comeuppance of Celia and the new guy in town Groff. Jealous that she got a better bribe than him he gets the sewer system shut down and there is a huge mess. Doug’s victory dance is one of my favorite moments from the entire show. Also on this episode we got the debut of Tara, one of the Olsen twins and the really shocking death of U-Turn. Pretty eventful.
