The opening of season 2 has four Latino men in prison outfits singing happy birthday in prison. Not a great way to depict Latinos. If this series had written four black men singing from prison, I'm sure the network would have not allowed it, nor should they. If we are going to be inclusive to Latinos in this industry, let's stop depicting them as criminals. One star for me. I did not bother watching the rest of the series. And now I need to write more in this review in order for it to be accepted so I will say that I like seeing oakland in the series and the cinematography looks nice and I really liked the feature.

I love all things Ricky Gervais. The first two seasons were really good, but I can't seem to finish season 3. It's just dragging. His character doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Gervais is a fantastic actor and writer, but here is my problem with this series: the most interesting character is his, Tony. I am sure that is by design, but i wish he would have written the other characters with more personality and wit. Maybe he could use more writers to flush out the other characters. He seems to save all the best dialogue for himself, which may or may not be intentional on his part. Look, I am still standing up and applauding him for writing and directing three seasons, that's a ton of work. I just don't feel like I need to see three seasons of Tony being down in the dumps. Two seasons would have been perfect.
