This shit hit harder than a motherfucker. Pelphrey's work in the latter half of the season was just heart-breaking. Laura Linney is out of this world good in this having to go through such wide-range of emotional shifts in certain scenes while making the shifts so subtilely.

This is my favorite season and I think leaning into some of the dark comedy of the show this year really helped it not feel like a mirthless slog like Season 2. There were so many utterly laugh-out-loud moments this season. Pelphrey's 'What the fuck?!' when Ruth came out the trailer w/ the shotgun and especially Sue showing up with her new car and Marty trying to get her to leave had me in near tears.

They've also found a good balance of trashy, lurid ridiculousness and high-caliber drama.

Really great season and I'm READY for next season. Provided the world isn't in utter shambles by this time next year.
