There's a lot of weirdness at the police station.

The detective keeps interviewing people in the middle of this upscale looking dark lobby, sitting like 8 feet away from the person he's talking to. Clark has two guards outside his holding cell, cause they really need that for the weatherman. The tech room has all their texts and info up on a giant screen because that's how they'd be browsing their devices.

It's just strange for a show that seems to be carefully thought out in other areas.


in response to all these observations-

also keep in mind the way the actual people SPEAK is not realistic either. the entire show is not realistic.

Linda Cardellini says things that no one would really ever say in a normal human being other than a character from FARGO or a television show.

I think the point is to show characters who are acting on the outer edges of the human experience.

has any GUY on this thread ever acted like Floyd and David Harbour do towards each other?!?!

Funny episode -
  • Beastie Boys / ACE PHYSICAL
  • Detective Jenkins writing down LC under AP and anytime he says "Frenched a guy"
  • Liked the roller skating rink and recess monologue in the VIP section

It's all odd yes.

But we all know why Bateman took the role - even if none of it makes sense Linda Cardellini sitting on your face is a life goal. Bet they had to do 30 takes.

"Sorry guys I messed that up, can we do it again..."

I wonder if that was really her or a body double.

either way, not too shabby a life for a 57 year old male!

As long as we're pointing out strange aspects of the show, The Weatherman, who had the DTF idea, has not done it himself, correct?

We all know why, of course.

So I suppose he suggested DTF to give his "friend" something on the side similar to what he is getting?

This show feels so much like Burn After Reading. Such off-the-wall, dark comedy.

I'm here for it.

Well I was hoping to catch up last night because I only had about 15 minutes to go in episode 3, but my wife (who was scrolling on her phone through the first two episodes) got intrigued by the Powerhouse, Modern Love meetup, the scene with Floyd with his son at the Skatepark and the sex robot part, so I had to go start back over from episode one so she could catch up.

I kept telling her through all 3 episodes "I cant believe you aren't watching this, it has Jason Bateman and Linda Cardinelli in it" and she ignored me until it hooked her.

Her response "I thought you were watching the Steve Carrell show (Rooster) that I wasn't really into".

Come on, dude!

Anyway, we are going to do episode 4 tonight. I'm enjoying this one.
