Hope those who read that didn't/don't get the reference. I'm not talking about this series. Better spoiler tag that mate.

I thought it was very good. Probably some of the best episodes in the entire show, with some great performances. Especially from Paula Malcomson.

Yeah stick with it.

It's a bit melancholy for the first few episodes then it gets back in the groove.

Plus you get to see Bunchy fuck up which is always hilarious.

I swear Bunchy needs a spin off show.

Yeh. Thought it was decent.

Hoping this 'down and out' version if Ray isn't the one that persists throughout the season - I like it when he's cool, calm and calculating.

If it is getting renewed it needs to go back to whacky Hollywood.

NYC sucks for this show.

The most recent episode with all the flashbacks to Ray's childhood was god-awfully disappointing television.

Been enjoying the move to New York, but the writers really appear to have lost direction and ideas. Now, they're showing us all the stuff they hinted at in previous seasons, and the showing is far worse and less effective than our own imaginations had been.

The timings/ages seem a bit off to me, like the writers haven't quite clocked that the mid-70s is nearly 50 years ago now.
If I were a linesman, I would execute defenders who applauded my offsides.

You can tell there's a lack of direction because the 'previously on' section is about 5 minutes long.

I feel like its gotten really formulaic, like Billions as in - This insurmountable problem is quickly sorted out in one night by wheeling and dealing, Ray getting the shit kicked out of him, he goes on a bender, looks like crap, has sex with some good looking woman and the B and C plots involving his dopey family all trundle along

Catching up while on holiday via my iPad and Sky Go. The scriptwriters are blowing hot and cold, and you get the awful feeling they’re running out of ideas, and resorting to tired old cliches.

Overall though, the series has been worthwhile, so I’ll see it through to it’s almost certainly bloody climax.

Loved how Bridget started singing YNWA all quite sat on the bench before Rays thoughts took us elsewhere regarding his sister. In the meantime,what we didnt see,but only heard was Bridget giving it full welly turning the volume upto 11 singing the rest of YNWA like Cline Dion in concert.

Id like to see the version were shes singing the version full pelt screaming in her dads ear
