I thought this season was okay. Ending seemed almost a little GOTish in the sense that it seemed rush and loosely tied up. Liked the reveal at the end but knew it was coming, as any fan of the whole series did. Overall B-/C+. Better than the solid C for season three.

Watched the first two eps of season 1, which is apparently technically a sequel of season 2. Pretty good so far.

I didn't know Freeman was also a star of Lord of the Rings. Billy Bob Thornton has had so many great roles and as the hitman this was one of his best parts yet. Here's the ER scene at the beginning when the two meet and their small talk conversation starts the whole series of events that follow for ten episodes. I could watch it again right now, in fact I think I will.
Season 1 was epic TV. One of the best of all time. They haven't come close to that, but that's OK. Legendary season. [Reply]

Anyone watch Breeders, also on FX. Totally different show from this, but created and written by Freeman. It's not worldbreaking, but it is pretty decent.
Basically, an update of the story of . . . incidental . . . parents, navigating modern problems [social media, juggling work and home life, . . . kids these days, etc].
Particularly interesting is the character played by the wife, because it's played by Daisy Haggard who is mostly known for a one-note but brilliant and hilarious character in Episodes. Again, a much different and altogether enjoyable performance.
