We watching this?
It's not all *that* engaging, but I've been keeping up with it.
Justin Theroux is perfectly cast and he perfectly executes IMO.
Among HBO shows, I can't recall the last one that would focus so entirely on one set of characters/one single arc for an entire episode while ignoring the rest of the stuff going on. Most of their one-hour serials kind of "check in" on each plot during each episode (the Wire was almost annoyingly consistent/jumpy in this regard). I'm not mad at it, but I'm kinda wondering these last 2 wks what's up the compound cult dude.
That's all I really got.

Also, co creator's involvement with LOST is a major major major black cloud in my book. I'm still pissed that I wasted all that time on LOST. This better not be on some similar bullshit.
I am disappointed we haven't circled back around to the Loved Ones stuff and/or Wayne yet, especially now that we know dog killer guy is a real person.
There are only 10 eps in the season too, which really has be puzzled on the slowness of the last couple.
