You raise a valid point.
In my humble opinion, the chief Willougby had cancer and was dying. It's not a stretch to believe a replacement was already in the works. As "Mildred" said, everybody knew he was dying
I' glad I found this thread too and you as well Flower!. I don't think I can be much help. I have watched all three episodes. The wood shed I'm at a loss. It was in the first episode when Camile was a young girl. I could not see the pics all that well but I have a feeling something sinister happened in there. In the first episode Camille is "fresh out of the psyc center. They made it a point to say this. The father of the first girl that died is a bit high strung as he has a couple DUI and an assault charge (?) I believe. His son IS very sensitive; I thought that normal since he lost his little sis. And his girlfriend is clearly nuts. As for Amma, she is almost "stepfordish" with her friends and being the leader. As I said I don't think I was much help! :)
I so agree with you on the flash backs. Way too quick for me. It will all fall into place eventually. I get more of a "True Detective" vibe from the show. Patricia Richardson (Adora) is amazing in the role of the mother. How about her husband? Not sure what to make of him or Camile's boss. He is way too invested in her mental health. Thoughts?
I will check "sharper objects" but be warned: I'm pretty certain I read it years ago. I won't give anything away. I too love to read more than anything. Sadly, I've MS which effects my eye site so it's a challenge. I do have a tablet, that helps ALOT. We sure do have the same tastes! So lets keep in touch on anything that strikes your interest and I will too! :)
I've just started the book but it is based on fact. You will recognize many comedians and also the woman that ran the "Comedy Store" IS Goldie with another name. You will love it. You've excellent taste it tv shows as I also adore "Sharper Objects" though I read the book years ago so I know the "who done it" part. Another GREAT series is "Patrick Melrose" on showtime. It's a five part mini series. Watch it, you'll be hooked. I adored "Nurse Jackie"as well. Another older showtime series is "Masters of Sex". Excellent.
You made me laugh with the bell bottoms! I'm glad you agree though I really, really hate to see it go. I went out today to my local Barnes and noble and bought the book. It is so parallel to the show only it really happened. If you're interested, Flower, the name of the book is " I'm dying up here; Heartbreak and High Times in stand up comedy's golden era by William Knoedelseder. So far it's an excellent read.
I truly wish for a season 3 but sadly I don't think it will happen. If you think about it: Eddie got his big break with Roy and will be gone. Ron overdosed in a place no one even knew existed. He's dead and who knows when he'll be found. The strikers are "dead" to Goldie as she put it so no chance they will be performing in her club. Nick is clean and has a great gig as a morning dj. Adam and Ralf got a great review in variety so they are on their way. Who's/what's left? Cassie is the only one who crossed. It seemed to me a finale where all was wrapped up. I wish it wasn't so.!
I read the book. nope.
I agree. Also the fact he was new to drugs. The finale last 5 minutes were emotional, at least for me. I could not stop crying; he had his whole life ahead of him.
