It gets better and better. A couple of the episodes in season 2 are some of the best things I've seen on TV

I just finished it. It keeps getting better.

It really was an amazing season…resonates with people in so many different ways.

It is the most magnificently dysfunctional group of characters. Season two, and particularly the seven fishes episode, goes a long way to explaining the why of that. I have to say Jamie Lee Curtis is killing it in her role as Donna. I also have to say I was enjoying the upward story arc for the characters, until the end of the season hook which sets up potential conflict and challenges for season three.
I also like cousin being less of an ass, though it's hard to imagine one week being so transformative for him.

We just finished season 2 last night. One of my favorite shows ever. Unfortunately with this stupid writer's strike, it's gonna be a loooooong time before there's a season 3.

Seven fishes was one of the best episodes I’ve ever seen.

Agreed on Season 3. Could see it turning towards Carmy and the family a bit more. I already can’t wait!

Season two is a bit too artsy for me but it’s good.

I also need to remind myself it’s a different character than he is in Shameles multiple times an episode.

Unless of course you're my wife...

Mrs. 82: "Oh my god what are you watching? They have just been screaming at each other for the whole show"

Me: Yeah they have!

"Throw that fork at me one more time."

Anyone watch Succession, top 3 of all time for me. Haven’t caught the Bear yet.
 
There are a few posts on The Bear over here.

Couple of nights ago I got my wife to watch Fishes as a one-off as she hadn't seen any other episodes. She was astounded by it. Other than one small part when Mike and Carmi are talking while getting graham crackers, you really didn't need to know much of anything about the characters. She told me she thought about that episode often at work the next day, it was so intense.

Emmy nominations just came out, but none of S2 is included as those episodes won't qualify till next year. But I do hope the committees remember Fishes and that JLC gets a nom as well as whomever directed that insanity.

Forks is excellent. Richie is the heart and soul of the show, I know some Richies.

The show is also pretty damn authentic Chicago. They got the lingo down pretty well, the sports stuff, they're using real Chicago restaurants and real Chicago chefs. Syd going around trying all those restaurants for inspiration, those are good spots and the real chefs are in the show.

They have a diverse kitchen but the one thing they miss the mark on is not having Mexicans in their kitchen. From the no frills places to the highest end restaurants in the the city it's Mexicans cooking your food.

Bourdain told us so way back in 1999.

fwiw, not sure what Tina's character backstory is, but IRL she was born in NYC to Puerto Rican parents.

Forks and the Copenhagen episode were my favorites of the season. Just a beautiful show.
 
The Season 1 episode that looks like it was filmed in one take is incredible too.
 
I'm in the middle of episode one. Does it slow the hell down eventually? 20 min in and my blood pressure is about to pop.

Edit: On episode 4. This is a great show.

I kept wanting to turn Season 2, Episode 7 off because it was so stressful to watch. It felt like there was no way Richie could hold it together for another second.
