I watched the first season and managed to get through it all with some irritation, but I'm really struggling to enjoy the second season. Some of the worst, most annoying characters are back again, and not even Aubrey Plaza can save it. This show is just so dark and depressing, it's a soap opera where few of the characters are likable and those who are get depressingly shafted every time.

I agree. I may give it a bit longer, maybe a couple more episodes, but it's getting sort of tiresome and depressing.

PT 100 was right about it's being visually and aurally stunning, but that's about all the positive things I can say about it. I guess it appeals to some audience, but I'm not sure who that would be.

I like the show. and this season imo is better than the last. I find basically all the characters likeable from both seasons I think... especially the rich older woman and the hot "douchey" White guys. and yeah the show is visually and aurally stunning I agree with that.

which charactesr do you find most annoying/worst?

softpillow: I agree. I like all the characters as well. I know we're supposed to hate them because of their behavior but I'm not. I'm a little behind on episodes but I like it. Clever twist that we don't know who dies and who lives. Aubrey Plaza is so beautiful it's like looking into the sun when she's on screen. I also find the wardrobe interesting. Most everyone is dressed well except for Portia. Not sure why they decided to make her look so quirky. Points for referencing Godfather 2 and Monica Vitti.

I think the characters are just so believable as actual people that exist not on tv but in real life and to me I feel like I understand these characters. Which is to say bravo to the acting on this show, and yeah for example I think Aubrey is really good in this.

Steve: how many episodes are you behind? the season just finished.

I'm at the point where Jennifer Coolidge is hanging out with the rich gay guys. And she's happy so I know it won't last. Lol. I actually breathed a sigh of relief her and her assistant are finally relaxing. But I know it won't last. Aubrey just found the condom wrapper. I also loved the scene where you have Christopher from the Sopranos in the location Apolonia died in Godfather 2. That was something in itself.

This season there are a few unlikable ones, but I guess I'd pick Tanya McQuoid. (I've now quit watching, so maybe things have changed. I don't know.)

Finished it last night. Didn't expect the bleak, operatic ending. Also, nice shot inspired by Shelley Winters in Night of the Hunter.

Is there a way to hide text on here for spoilers?? Cause I want to talk about the ending to but in more detail.

I don't think there's a way to hide spoilers here. I always put a warning in all caps and boldface at the top of my post: WARNING: SPOILERS

I started another thread for discussing the ending.
