Still not sure I like this show.

Haven't seen it. Whenever I see the title on Netflix I just assume it is a hunger games parody.

I still have the same reaction as season 1. I really like the characters, but I don't know what story they are telling. However, they are hitting on some really cool things this episode like how to be in business and get stuff done while everyone involved is only doing what interests them because that is the only reason they are there in the first place. None of the main characters seems particularly capable or willing to follow typical business modes and models. The one most capable is the one that so far has been the most destructive. I half think this show is actually about anarchy (only in the leaderlessness meaning, without the nihilist connotations.) It is early though, a prolonged story arc pretty much needs a hero and we are conditioned to expect that hero to be a leader so we'll see.

They've set themselves up to go pretty much anywhere with the plot after freeing themselves from the Cardiff Electric / Giant PC plotline. Gordon's become a lot more interesting as an addict or possible schizophrenic than he was as just a techie, desperate co-head of household with Donna. Kerry Bishe as Donna has got a certain sexiness she didn't have through a large part of S1. Cameron is kinda whingy but that's okay. Joe is still a headcase but now he's trying to get all domesticated, though the S2E2 promo makes it pretty obvious he has ulterior motives with the astronomer lady. __________________ Chiefs 2016 Opponents: Home: JAX, TEN, NO, TB, NYJ.
