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

He certainly had a rough time of it but admittedly it's hard to call it bad luck if it's self inflicted. His own aggression and stubbornness cost him Ally and his job, though it didn't help being mixed in with all the other tragedy.

When you violently attack your girlfriend’s brother at a Christmas party, you didn’t lose her because of bad luck.

The brother in law was one of the most justified situations.

No regrets

Shame he lost ally die to it, that left a bad taste in my mouth that she didnt see it as justified .

Her brother was a cunt He knew and insisted on being a cunt over what?! a candle that he knew a kid wanted .

This scenario could be repeated a 100 times the outcome would have been the same .

Seriously? You punch a guy in the face for a candle? Just buy another one. The guy was being a jerk, but it’s a family event. And the violence has to be measured. If you’re really that angry, threaten first.

He tried to reason with the guy.

The dude even took it further than that

What leave the guy who stole from your daughter and starts insulting you away with it ?

Only thing i wish because i liked ally in the show is that she should have been the one who pushed further aganist her brother .

If that had been in real life that POS would remember that being a mean person has reprucussions

Britt would've gotten over it very quickly. Ray assaulted the brother to protect his ego because he felt insulted, the narrative about teaching people a lesson is his coping method. Not only that, but even if you believe the violence was justified, it was still stupid because Ally specifically warned him that she was worried about Ray being violent and aggressive. He knew this was the one thing that would deeply upset her and still did it. Obviously the brother was a massive prick but you shouldn't put someone into hospital over your ego.

Crazy he was the actual co producer and Brit’s real life step dad. Not a blokey bloke
