    This show is just getting better by the episode.

    This season, you can definitely feel a build up for something big, with the recent episodes but I just want to watch for the raunchy comedy of Urlich. Last couple of episodes were kind of a let down in that department.

    I'm not sure i'm gonna enjoy watching the new character (dumb hedonistic billionaire financier). I also find the new boss lady far less entertaining than the Peter Gregory character (I realize the actor died).

    "This guy *****s! Am I right?"

    I get the strong feeling that Russ is going to meet an untimely death. Don't know why. Just do.

    Ulrich was more subtly funny in this one...the way he was trying to latch on to Russ was hilarious.

    That quote was hilarious.

    I do agree that he'll die while hand gliding in Brazil...or something along those lines.

    She's awful. She seems like she's trying very hard to be Peter Gregory's character. I watched with my wife and a couple friends last night, no one likes her.

    The rest of the episode was really funny.

    Not sure how I forgot. Last Week Tonight might be my favorite of the 4.

    Show is great, informative, funny, and exposes a lot of bull**** going on. A+ all around.

    Haven't seen Last Week Tonight or Veep. Maybe I should give it a shot.

    Speaking of that new lady boss...I have zero enjoyment/entertainment when she is on the screen. Like, I just want that scene to be over with because I'm 100% confident that it will be a negative or neutral experience with her.

    Such a shame. Hopefully, the writers will figure that out and slowly make her character irrelevant to the show.

    He's suppose to be a parody of Mark Cuban. Based on that, I find him hilarious.

    Jared is hilarious. There is such great subtle comedy on this show. The way they say things, the looks they make, just everything about it is hilarious to me.

    I especially loved when the guy was like, "this guy f*$ks, amiright?" to Jared, and Jared is like "why thank you!" Then Gilfoyle's stares and that d-bag's responses. The little pauses in speech and everything make this great comedy.

    I don't like Mark Cuban either, but that seems like a pretty weak imitation of him. I did enjoy his intro when he drives up blaring Limp Biskit (sp?).

    I think the only similarities between him and Cuban are how they initially got rich.

    I think the outspoken and over the top personality has some resemblance, maybe not to Russ's extent.

    Russ is SO annoying. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not at this point.
