I fucking loved this show and I'm on s4 or so. I got busy and fell off. Need to pick it back up for this final season. Ellen Barkin 🔥

I am so behind, like 4 seasons behind. But I still come in these posts 😆

I didn’t recognize J in the first screen grab.

I enjoyed these first 2 episodes, I feel like Craig will end up relapsing sadly, and my heart breaks watching Julia in the flashbacks.

julia had no chance and it's sad knowing just how bad it's going to get for her :(

pope skating <3 he looked so happy!!

i loled when j was talking and pope was just going around to craig and deran showing them all the almost empty cartons of juice and milk in annoyance. also his face when j put chips on his sandwich.. at first i thought he was going to be like ~julia used to do that~

excited for this season but sad it's the last. i just hope deran survives until the end.

One thing I really appreciate about this show is that it hasn't forgotten about things like Pope's OCD and they show it in small ways like lining up bologna perfectly on the bread and then telling J to buy square bologna next time.

When he was showing Craig and Deran all the empty cartons, I was totally cracking up because that is exactly the kind of thing that siblings do just to point out "YOU SLOBS ARE ANNOYING THE FUCK OUT OF ME."

I don't know how Pope needed $18,000 in lumber to build that half pipe, but I loved seeing him reclaim the happiness that Julia rightly pointed out Smurf had stolen from him.

Poor Julia. Smurf stopped seeing her as the daughter she loved and started seeing her as a rival for the attention/affection of her boys. And being the manipulator that she was, it wasn't enough for Smurf to be a cock blocker. She had to go out of her way to destroy Julia's dreams and ruin her in the eyes of her brothers. Janine was such a greedy, jealous, possessive mother. She didn't want her boys to love anyone but her.

i personally see it as autism, but also i am autistic so i am biased lol. ive done shit like that, "don't buy ____ because it's wrongly shaped"

pope would have hated kendall jenners way of cutting cucumber!!!!

thats literally me, it made me so happy for him too lmao, i loved this scene

this is an unpopular opinion on reddit but i like the flashbacks because without them i dont think i would have understood how deeply psychotic janine cody was. to me ellen barkin was iconic shshshs and then the flashbacks told me "really, let me shatter your dreams"

loved the pope skating scene it was so, reminded me of me being happy at the skatepark sjsjs
