One little thing - the age of consent in Louisiana is 17.

Adam is 17. He and Frannie would be legal, though... creepy.

In earlier episodes, Marty told Ruth he'd show her how to launder money so he and the family could leave for good, and Ruth could handle the businesses on her own.
Suddenly, we find that Marty hasn't told Ruth everything she needs to know. Marty's left out crucial information - which seems to be an easy procedure, once you know the steps. He told Navarro exactly how to handle the red flag, and could have shown Ruth, had he really wanted her to handle things on her own.
I guess the writers didn't want Marty to be redundant after all.

I am liking it. I never watched Breaking Bad. I get the impression that it is easier to enjoy Ozark if you don’t compare it to BB.
I'm halfway through Season 2, watching with my husband. BB and Better Call Saul are much, much better. So much better. However, Ozark is ok.

Just finish watching Season 4 and it really mindblowing. The whole season is very well executed especially the last 2 episode...
Tokyo and Rio surprisingly my least favorite character, with Denver character has developed so well. Adding Stockholm and Lisbon also a very cool addition. Helsinki, Bogota, Manila, I love them. Palermo growing on me. Don't let me start on Nairobi.. I also
I completely agree with the comments above. Rio and Tokyo bore me, and I have no idea why the writers decided that Tokyo would be a good choice for captain. Neither of those characters do it for me, so one-dimensional.
Sierra, now, she's on fire! I'd love to see Sierra join the gang! -
I just started watching, nearly finished Season 1, after reading a review in the Guardian.
It's starting to grow on me - it's different from the UK or Scandi imports I usually like. I think there was an American re-make a few years ago? They wore pig masks, I think? I recall I watched a few episodes and got bored.Looking forward to bingeing the next seasons! Good to have something to watch during this corvid lock down.

For all the Oleg/Costa fans out there - I was watching an episode of Americans, and Oleg's brother who died in Afganistan is named.... Yvegeny.

I started noticing the glass in the homes in tonight's episode...I think it's an intentional metaphor:
When Jane was leaving Renata's house via the front door, the entire entry wall and entry door were glass...spotless glass. Because the house is on the ocean, keeping a glass house clean must be very difficult. It occurred to me that it must take at least one full-time person to keep all the glass exterior panels clean.
Then I noticed that the expansive exterior glass at Celeste's house was equally clean.
Maddie's house is more enclosed, so the glass in her exterior walls doesn't take center stage during her domestic scenes. But when the kids ran down to the beach, the glass "fence" between the back yard and the beach was shown (I've never noticed it before), and it was spotless.
So I started thinkin'......glass houses as a metaphor for false perfection/convenient compartmentalization....but then figured that I was reading too much into it and that the DP just chose his shots to not accentuate any dirty windows/glass....until....
...Celeste went to check out the "escape plan" apartment. It was certainly a high-end unit, but something just made it feel sad...then I noticed the dirty windows. There was something so real about them - they were the perfect backdrop for Celeste's painful acceptance of the gritty realities of her life as she cried, hunched over on the floor.
Did anyone else notice this?
I'm already sad that next week is the last episode...
Yes, I noticed this, too. And thought the same about Glass Houses and the work it takes to keep them spotless. When Celects went into the apartment, I noticed the difference right away. You are so right, the dirty windows are reality.
I think the DP did this purposely, if only because it can be such a pain shooting glass. You get reflections unless you're really careful.

Very pleased Michael won.
I had the feeling that Adam approached GBM as just another competition and brought out his repertoire of competition-worthy dishes that he tried to tweak to fit the brief. For example, the ham hock terrine in the GBM starter was also in his Masterchef Pro final menu. I didn't see anything particularly original in Adam's plates -- I've been watching GBM since season 5 and there have been some stunningly original and exciting dishes. On the other hand, Michael and Ally were, in my opinion, cooking from the heart. In Michael's case, he cooked from the heart and also created some highly technical and risky elements. So in my opinion, the right chef won. Though my heart broke for Ally and his dessert!!

I live in L.A. and was so looking forward to the fact that FTWD was going to be based in my city. So many possibilities. So much wasted potential. I was bored as hell. I couldn't stand any of the characters and wanted them all dead by the Season 1 finale.
I was really excited when FTWD was announced - I live in Vancouver where they shoot FTWD & my daughter's an actor. Would have been fun if she got a small part, but I don't think even that would save the show for me. Boring at best.

About the chickpeas - we can get frozen chickpeas here at Costco & the local Indo-Canadian grocery stores, but I don't think they'd work as well as dried or canned in chana masala. I make chana masala a few times a month, usually with dried chickpeas (chana). The only difference between dried and canned chickpeas is the price & cooking time.
Saying that, I can think of lots of veg that would work well in a masala, which is basically onions, spices and a bit of tomato. Getting the masala right is the tricky part, so good for Frances.

Yes, Marcus has been much nicer lately. Back in 2012, he insulted a chef (Johnnie Mountain) to the point when he walked out of the kitchen.
I have to agree with Marcus that O'Hare focused on style rather than the food in his starter, and it seemed to be more about him than about the WI. it will be interesting to see what he does with the fish course.

S02.E04: Kill the Fatted Calf
in The Morning Show
I used to work in live television. The instant he went off-script, I was alarmed. When he started singing, I was horrified. The crew did a masterful job of covering it, but in the real world, that would have been Daniel's last day on a live set.
