There are a few surprises in this series. None are really startling, but they make you understand more why you like this band in the first place. If you don't, hear them more. The Grateful Dead have all the goods: Joy, bravery, humanity, and musicianship. They're not without fault - see "humanity".
This an excellent series for fans and, I hope, soon-to-be-fans. Advice: don't skip the credits. Their soundtracks are worth it.

George Lopez as a stand-up comic has made me laugh harder than any other, ever. Mucus-expelling, gasping for breath stuff. His family sitcom "George Lopez" (2002-2007) was hilarious, terrifically written, had a great cast, and was largely ignored by Emmy.
Now we have "Lopez", a far superior and more snot-inducing successor, with no laugh track provided or needed. George is now looking for "relevance" as an older entertainer and Vegas escapee in a world of Los Angeles Twits. He's surrounded in his rented mansion by a new family of fringe-dwelling friends and ex-cons (led by Manolo, beautifully played by Anthony 'Citric' Campos), a creepy landlord, and George's manager, an earnest, WASPish woman-child (Hayley Huntley).
Quote of the series so far: "...there's no sliding scale of racism..."
Watch and repeat.

A latecomer to this recently-ended series, my binge-watch has led me to the middle of the 3rd season. Goodness gracious. The writing alternately firmly pokes our heads up various orifices, then pulls them back out for sweet air. I watched seasons 1 and 2 with a vicarious thrill, but season 3 hit a mark I didn't know existed. Holy heartbreaking, flesh-quaking, drool-making participles.
I fear the remainder can't sustain this level, but I'll keep watching. From what I've seen, this series rivals M*A*S*H, Seinfeld, and Curb Your Enthusiasm for acerbity and sheer delight. Concerning content, it does help that I'm a heterosexual male. And, David Duchovny sticks it as the lead. How can he miss with lines like, oh, all of them?
Most epic and least comfortable moment so far: Hank's daughter's asking "Do you know what it's like to have nothing and no one?" and his tepid shrug-off thereof. C'mon, Hank. You have a few more seasons to redeem yourself. But have fun doing it, for all our sakes.
