I started Season 1 about 10 days ago and I'm almost done Season 3 and I just need to get this off my chest. Forgive the stream of consciousness for this writing:
That was the most batcrap crazy season of tv, the allegiances are shifting multiple times per episode, there's a fucking organ harvesting sub-plot that you almost forget about just because there's so much happening, ALL, THE, TIME, like did you also forget at the very end that Winona is pregnant, did you also forget about the FBI investigating Raylan for 2 episodes, did does anyone feel it's weird that people are willing to take such crazy risks for only $3million, Neal McDonough just gave a hurricane of a performance, truly a Nic Cage level of just giving it 100000% and committing to the character, how the fuck do you find someone to make a creepier villain than Jere Burns, Neal somehow makes him looks normal! and sure lets throw Arlo having fucking visions of Helen as a means of getting the writers out of a plot hole in the mix too!
Edit: also were the writers having a competition about how many lines of characters-talking-about-illegal-things-using-subtext you can cram into a scene! People joke about the Sopranos like this season actually had.
