But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anyone watching Satisfaction? It's a weird show. No heroes, I'm assuming.

I decided not to when I saw the ad that compared it to American Beauty. I am watching the other one, though -- the druggie doctor?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have no idea what it has in common with AB other than midlife crisis. I mean, I find it bearable, and that's a big difference.

Not sure why I didn't pick up Rush. It does look like the perfect balance for Royal Pains, which I still watch, mostly with my jaw dropped.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That's where I saw him, but you never know where he's going to pop up (Vampire Diaries? Really???/?).

When we got to the end scene with Sharon and Rusty's Mom, I said to my roommate: "Wait for it -- Raydor's going to reach through the glass and eviscerate her." I wasn't disappointed.

Frankly, I was surprised that she was not more vicious. I would have violated the shit out of her parole and sent her upstate until Rusty had grandchildren.

Because t his is cable drama rather than procedurals, I'll answer in spoiler font below

It was probably the best she could do. And given the availability of drugs in prison, plus the multitude of rules, odds are 99 to 1 that she ends up with six years not one.

I massively agree--I thought she was going to ask him to steal the money. But she went way way worse.

Someone elsewhere suggested that Suits and Franklin & Bash were very similar, but one is more comedy.

Reading that, I am awash with doubt that Franklin & Bash could be funnier, but those terms don't have to be equivalent. And when you apply the Dudebro downgrade...

Anyone watching it? What does it have to recommend itself?
