Almost over the line of having too many subplots, but enjoyed how they played out, and connected. Especially Cornell. I didn't think I'd like to see the real life side of her, but found myself drawn in. (Love the actor playing her ex. - my mind just went blank on his name! ) Would like another season, for sure.

Loved the first episode. Ditto posters above. Also, enjoyed the "Real Vikings" show afterwards. Hey Rollo.

I'll take more of the Mr. Kaplan story, please. Thank you.

It may not have been this show, but one fact has come out that I had never heard. Burke came downstairs to play with his toys once everyone was asleep. I need to watch the Dr. Phil interviews, but I believe he said it to Dr. P, as well. It may have nothing to do with anything, but my gut reaction to the info was heavy.

Great series !! There were no lulls - liked that !!! Also, liked that all story lines linked directly to the main one. Didn't see that ending coming, and I yelled in surprise and in some emotion I still can't identify !! Hoping for a 2nd----

Oh no. I am sorry to hear about Larkin Malloy.

I cannot believe Kalani came in fourth. I think the dance was a little mature for her (and the audience of kids). But, she was fantastic.

My favorite song, NEUROCHICK !!!!! So appropriate for that last scene. I cheered at that, and for Turturro's performance.

Angie is phoning it in. She barely gets the lines out and acts like she couldn't care less about being in the show. Is she that angry about the cancellation, or what?

I am not so steeped in emotionally with these characters or their stories. This show is very different than others that I watch. The appeal is more about the atmosphere that surrounds these people. Most of us can relate to the concert experience - no matter what decade !!! The excitement of waiting for the band, the carefree feeling that comes with "letting go" for a few hours. Even the sadness conjured - the Who story, Lynyrd Skynyrd - ...I guess it takes me back to a time I miss, but can visit now and then through music and stories.

After 2 seasons of anticipating every episode, I am just not engaged here. The "relationship angst" (thank you, slothgirl) is overwhelming the story. Sorry, I miss Jamal. He was a champion at mixing it up !!!

Watched the ep back to back. Didn't want season to be over !! Deran and Craig - hilarious in the truck. Pope's scene with Smurf was raw and telling from his perspective. Agree w/Artsda above, Craig and Nicky - illegal? Definitely not cool - not only for the legality, but because of J. J was fantastic in his scene w/detective!! I give him the "Gold" !!! I'll be back ~~~

Why is there no other way to convict this family than to use teacher to force J to wear a wire on them??? Police seem so desperate to make this happen.

Agree, SLOTHGIRL !!! Great observation !! I also believed Jamal to be the most interesting, watchable character. Barhom played all his "onion layers" so convincingly, I couldn't predict his actions or emotions. Your suggestion makes so much sense: "...if Barhom had played Barry."

Finnegan nailed Molly's reaction. Good job.

When a suspect yells to Brenda: Go to Hell !! Brenda: You FURST !!!

Wow - posts above - The Hound Lives and clb1016 - right on my wave length! I was thinking of Box while reading through this episode's comments. I want to see him investigate the case, even if he has to do it on the sly (like a lot of tv/movie murder shows when they have the "right guy"). I felt Stone was right on when he accused Box of his "gut" feeling. I am hoping he will follow up. Another reason is, I am curious about who Box really is. Is his "caring" act just that, or does he invest in the cases that give him the "uneasy" feeling? Where Stone would fit in this scenario, other than joining forces...?

Just suggestions : More Lena, less kids, no Theresa, give Mickey half a smart pill, so his mistakes and grovelling aren't quite so annoying. I LOVE this show !!! This season has some levity, which makes for a fantasic balance with the heavy issues being addressed. The actors are delivering perfectly !!!!

My heart already aches for Naz's family. In their few scenes, they have conveyed so much love and concern for this kid.

I had chills after reading this, HUMBLEOPINION. I agree. Just watched "The Drop".

I agree. Hard to watch.

I want to know more about why J's mom left, or was ostracized. It has been hinted that there is more to the story. Loving this series !!! Acting is just right - realistic. Pope scares the poo out of me.

OMG !! I just realized that I am watching this show just to see what you guys write about it !!!

Yes - Barhom plays this complex character so well, I could not imagine this show without him !!
