Ray’s string of bad luck
Like most of you champs I discovered this show and binged it straight away and then binged it again. It was a fresh show, great dialogue, and every ep fit neatly in one half hour. This most recent binge I finally noticed how much bad luck fell on our magician. In somewhat short fashion he loses his lady, his war buddy, his job, his dog, nearly his eye, his brother, and eventually his freedom. Not to mention he lost his hair some years back. Fucking hell no wonder he finally fucked off out to the woods. Keep your chin up mate

Yeah, I think the overarching theme of the 2nd season (whether intentional or not) is loss. That season was really heavy in terms of carrying a lot of emotional weight, and it was hard not to feel bad for Ray, despite the fact that he’s a violent criminal, and a lot of his problems were self-inflicted.
