    I was mostly talking about the first spoiler.

    The accent never bothered me.

      Yeah, I might have to give that a try.

        You thought this season was boring just wait till the next one runs.

          Axe will for sure show up at least once next season.

          I really don't have an interest in watching Prince vs Chuck.

          Showtime needs to let this show die. They do this with every one of their shows. It just gets ran into the ground. I kept watching, but I found it more entertaining when it was focused around Axe making moves to boost Axe Capitol. Versus it just being Chuck vs Axe

          Pretty sure that is just Lewis playing Axe that way. Watch Band of Brothers or Homeland. Entirely different.

            Finally saw the finale, meh. Wags pulling out the chair was the last straw for me, he should’ve went with Dollar Bill and Mafee. It’d be like if Wee-Bey went to work for Marlo, absolutely disgusting.

              This. The three of them could have done battle vs Prince

              Maybe it's because I'm not a billionaire, but why does Axe need a 3rd secret plane? It's not like the US AG can order fighter jets to shoot down one of his known jets.

                I've been a fan of the show throughout but I did like that Axe-Chuck truce period.

                  It's not like he sold out Axe to Chuck, and it could be all about positioning Wags as the inside man! I think you're loyalty litmus test is kind of rough.

                    Giamatti carrying the show is a big ask.

                      That would be like Wee-Bey working with McNulty, at that point I would want Wags killed. I considered the inside man angle, but I dunno. I’ll probably rewatch up until Lara leaves at some point. My thought now is is Wags even good at his job or is he just Axe’s guy, or why would Prince even want him.

                        I think Prince gets off on controlling as many ex-Axe pawns as he can.

                          The show is getting close to unwatchable now.

                            It's weird-I still love it but I'm wondering if it has reached guilty pleasure status. I never minded the inundation of cultural references but it seems like they're really pouring in now.

I chose this series as the topic for my essay. With the help of https://phdessay.com/essay-type/expository/ I will write an expository essay in which I will describe the main actress of this series. Quite a different role for Brody from Homeland (have no idea what his real name is lol) but he's holding it down. Great acting all around, honestly. Hopefully I continue to enjoy this as I catch up on the show.
                              Wow, this show has 6 seasons! After Supernatural it seems like a trifle, but I started it twice and still can't finish it.

                                I actually am starting to like the Mike character better than Axe but Giamatti has become a woke character.
