Anyone else watching this?

Comcast is having their Binge Watch this week, where full seasons of dozens of shows are available to watch for free, and I've been interested in this one for awhile. Just found out that until Sunday all 3 seasons are available and as of tonight I'm about halfway through the first season.

Don Cheadle is awesome, Kristen Bell is amazing of course, and the other two members of the Pod are just as funny. Really enjoying this show and I'm pretty sure I'll have to buy the DVDs to finish it but it's definitely worth watching long term.

Anyone else watching this show? What do you think?

I've been watching it since the beginning. Great dark comedy.

Season 1 was asesome, after that it gets less awesome. Season 3 is better than 2, though. It's a good show, but especially the latter seasons could use more Roscoe.

He's not in it as much as he is in Season 1? He's a great addition to break up the work aspect of the show and remind you that there may be some decency in Marty, and the kid who plays him is really good. So far I'm very impressed with the whole thing.

I saw the first few episodes and really liked it, just never got around to finishing it. I do have the first season on dvd and plan to get the second season at some point.

I'm already diving into the second half of Season 1. I really do like this show. My buddy said I could use his password to watch online if I don't get to finish all 3 seasons this week.

HAH! The third season. Wait 'till you get to, I think, episode 9. The ending of that one is completely out of tone with the show.

That said, it's still highly enjoyable, but the first season is a high.

I just watched the Matt Damon episode.. Holy shit..

That was a weak episode. Matt Damon was funny as Hell, but overall the episode itself wasn't great.

Damon was great, but the thing for me was that Marty actually did what he did to get the business. I knew he had some line he wouldn't cross but I didn't think that would be the dividing side of the line.

Season 2 was good. A lot more character development and I liked having fewer one and done episodes in terms of businesses. Finale left a lot of questions for me on everyone so I'm not waiting too long to start Season 3.

Not sure what he did in that one episode. Is that the one that plays the race issue?

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 9:43 am

No, he had to give Damon a happy ending in a meeting to secure his business.

After two seasons of the show in a week, it took all I had not to call out the specialist my Corporation has hired to improve our overall effectiveness. I just had every bit of Marty's inside info to the bullshit they sling running through my head while they talked. But it was fun.

Started Season 3. I like the 3 different Pods so far.
