Episode 2 is back on point, for me anyway... same old repulsive behaviour.

Tonight's episode was messed up.

Aside from the daughter, none of the characters have many redeeming characteristics. That's what makes the show fun. They're terrible people but most of what they do is for the good of the family.

I don't really know how they keep that "terrible people but fun show" after tonight's episode.

Yeah tonight I almost wanted to think they crossed the line, then I thought of all the other insane stuff they've done up to this point. Definitely worth watching to see how this plays out... can't say it's boring or repetitive at this point.

They continue to push the boundaries on this show.

I'm glad something bad finally happened to Fiona.

I sort of became sympathetic to her when they began to pursue the 'she's a sex addict' angle, but, they seemed to have abandoned that in favour of, "she makes terrible decisions on a regular basis because that's the kind of person she is."

Kevin and Veronica aren't exactly wholesome people, but they're great.

But you're right - most of the characters do a lot of bad things. However, they somehow remain likeable (save Fiona, I can't stand her character lately).

Great show.

Mickey is becoming my favorite character. Some great lines and his "#### you" attitude is awesome.

Him and Debs have been the highlights of the season so far. Carl's one liners are good, but starting to miss the mark.

Tonight was one of the best episodes they've done. Excellent acting from the supporting characters.

I'm talking to myself in here... but yet another great one tonight. Best episode of anything I've seen so far this year. Noel Fisher as Mickey... brilliant.

Completely forgot this thread existed, but I am so in love with this show!! I'm actually loving that the focus is less on Fiona and Frank... Ian and Mickey have become my favourite part of the show, and Carl and more so Debbie have really grown on me too. I've always liked Lip, and he certainly hasn't disappointed. Tonight's episode was amazing... my heart broke for Debbie, and swelled for Ian and Mickey. Fiona really bothered me this season, and I'm enjoying seeing her suffer haha. This show is seriously underrated.

I'm really happy for Mickey, and really happy Fiona is paying the consequences.

I had to catch up on about 4 or 5 episodes all at once. Still think this is a great show, and it really does run you through all of the emotions each week. Lots of great personalities in it, but I have to say that the Sheila character is played extremely well, don't think that one has gotten any praise yet. So many great situations happening.

Sheila and Debs are my two favourite characters.

I think Sheila is hysterically funny.

Each scene with Sheila is enjoyable just for how wacky, but kind-hearted she is.

This is one of my favourite shows on TV. Every week is just fantastic. I don't want it to end.

Her facial expressions crack me up.
