Beautiful episode- and it's getting darker.... The light playfulness of the arrival episode is fading quickly and we see the three dimensionality of the characters in this episode. Dominic is starting to see how his actions affect those around him. His son is an overly nice guy who thinks being the polar opposite of his self-diagnosed "sex addicted" father will benefit him, though I think he is in for a rude awakening. The subtext of this episode shows that everyone is lost in their own very specific way. At the end of this episode we see that what comes up must come down. I really want to see more of Valentina's character- hers is actually my favorite of the series so far. Humor so dry it is all but unnoticed by almost every character- and she had such a beautiful scene where she is sitting alone feeding kittens accompanied by the beautiful score that sets this series apart. Bravo.

The first season of this show was a get under your skin masterpiece.

This season was seemingly a bit flashier, higher production, not as biting and just not as good.

This episode however was brilliant. Sets the scene for the last 3 eps, it's slowly taking the mask of some of these very interesting characters.

Honestly this is the best written show on television- very few things can say so much about society and mainly though every day dialogue. Mike White is a genius and he has finally found a show that shows it off.

Is this as good as season 1 - only time will tell. This episode will absolutely hook you in (if it hasn't already).

All the character background and slow burn in the earlier two episodes certainly paid off in this episode. What a great episode full of surprises! The acting was fantastic, especially from Theo James who is really proving his mettle once again after The Time Traveler's Wife. The interaction between Harper and Daphne showed them both in different lights and both were pitch perfect. The story of the two couples is easily my favourite. The introduction of the two new characters would be interesting in the next episode. Mike White is a genius, his dialogues are the best and this is the best show on TV right now.

I'm up to episode 3 and it is so boringly bad, and depressing. It has none of the mystery, drama, intrigue and humor of the first season I'm afraid. Very surprised (without reading the reviews yet) how people have been liking this. And scores are so high. The actors themselves seem to be walking around going why the hell did I agree to do this? They seem totally bored and their acting is one dimensional. Even Jennifer Coolidge - who I think was not a good decision to return her character- who became so far with her character's life last season. It's like if she doesn't kill herself I want to myself. It is like a caricature of herself. In fact all the characters seem quite caricatureistic or down right listless. I hope it gets better but I have my doubts.
