all the sauces

That last scene was pure gold. This season seemed to be slipping a bit last episode but a great redemption here with funny writing that ties in storylines from the previous seasons. Now I also wish to try all the sauces at BWW.

...a disappointing 3rd episode. This one hit all the right marks of drama, action and dark comedy. The build up of tension worked so well. The final scenes between Barry & Sally and then Barry and Gene are exactly the reasons on why I love the show. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I'll start with the positive points. The app sequence was comedy gold! I also like the continuing Cristobal and Noho Hank developments and how things are looking up for Gene's acting & his family. Everything thing else was just a major bummer. Sally is a superficial hypocrite. She consciously treats Natalie as sub-human every day and she has been treating Barry like a lapdog, ordering him around every day. I don't believe the close-minded conclusion of her Gen-X co-star is justified. And Fuches? Even at his best has always been the worst for Barry but at least in the past their were some redeemable characteristics. Now I just hate every scene that he is in. Regarding the producers even the lack of a behind the scenes and the strange few second next episode preview feels like they are saying "we know how we made you feel and honestly we just don't care".

Where can I download the Detonate app? I'm asking for a friend.

But seriously, what an episode! They really are destroying everything Barry has in this season!

I like how they're just going through every plot point and ending them and creating new ones so quickly. Normally, you would say they're rushing it and hurts the story, but surprisingly, they don't feel rushed at all. In fact, it would be a little excessive and boring if they kept this cat and mouse plots for the entire season.

I don't know why I keep saying this, but I really didn't find any humor or "the funny" in season 1, but season 2 opener quickly made up for it, and fortunately, this episode and season continue to be funny as hell as well as cringey and awkward - the intentional kind, with Sally - and I love it. This just feels like a complete 180 from what season 1 was and the comedic scenes are hilarious and goofy. I really appreciate the comedy of this show.

If I had to make a list of most hated and despicable characters from the shows I've watched, Fuches would definitely be up there. Like there's actually nothing to like about this guy and the actor does a great job. Not to say that there are likeable characters in this show! (Other than NoHo Hank) But the pettiness and narcissism of this guy is just on another level. He needs to go. In fact, he needed to go a long time ago, but obviously writer would have little to no characters or material to make conflicts for Barry.

I've read some reviews regarding the character Katie, and how she's a woke character shoehorned in the show for no reason, and I expected it to be really cringey, but it's really not, and she's not as annoying as others make her to be or as I expected based on reading the reviews. It wasn't the best way to further Sally's plot by bringing Katie into the picture so she can be her "snap back to reality" alarm, but it was still decent and makes sense from the perspective of Katie and Sally.

And I'm glad that they didn't make Barry seem more of a psychopath - which he is - like in the first 3 episodes, and he does a good job at the end of this episode. But let's be honest, we all knew they weren't gonna get rid of Cousineau, and it was only a matter of when and how.

Seems like that now Barry has pretty much lost everything he had and it's interesting to see where they're gonna take the story from here. Obviously, what Fuches did in this episode is gonna somehow bring Sally and Cousineau back in the picture, but yeah, Barry really has nothing now.

They really did end a lot of plot lines in this episode didn't they? It's obvious that it's not actually the end for none of the plot lines, even the Cristobal one, but nonetheless a lot of plots progression happened in this episode.

All in all, a great episode with pretty much every plot lines and loose ends from last season and previous episodes 'seemingly' tied up, and new ones opened up. The goofy comedy was on point again, and the cringe was really strong with this one.

Being a huge fan of both Season 1 and 2 I felt like season 3 hasn't quite touched me in the same way. That all changed with this latest episode! That mix of suspense, raw emotion, drama and comedy was fully present and accounted for. I loved every moment and was on the edge of my seat at times. Incredible acting, beautiful cinematography and lots of laughs! 9/10 can't wait to see how the rest of the season goes!
