We’re midway thru Ep6. One thing I’m having a hard time understanding. Why the fuck is Gideon hanging out with this Scotty douchebag? It doesn’t seem that Scotty has something on him that’s making him stay. He sure wouldn’t need Scotty to get back at his family. I just don’t understand this relationship.

They explain it.
Thanks

The first season of Eastbound is a little rough, they didn’t really have a road map. But by S2 it takes off, and the final season is still my favorite thing McBride and DGG have done.

I think the reason Gemstones resonates so much with me is I know and grew up around so many people just like the characters. Not as financially successful, of course, but the whole southern Baptist branch of the religion. My great-grandfather was a preacher/pastor. I have cousins that are. One of my dad’s best friends growing up became a preacher and it was just everywhere. And even as an adult one county over from where I grew up, there are so many people that would be right at home in this world.

I think gemstones is mcbrides shining star. It has all his humor but there’s more depth to the characters and John Goodman absolutely seals the deal. He’s so good in it.
Eastbound and down is top notch and just absolutely ridiculous.

I’ve still never seen it, but I know that E&D S1 was sort of a thematic retread.
To strat’s point, S4 really explored new depths, with all the domestic stress and the sports round table show. Kenny’s pathos went from John Rocker caricature to fleshed out human being. And the Stevie stuff just became so much more nuanced. Once they leaned into the family stuff on a more dramatic level, it just exploded for me.
