Then I finished the last episode and at the very end I have some hope that they have wrapped up asshole time and are moving on. So one more episode.
By the way, I have a question: where did all the corpses go?
Yeah, im feeling like this. The show is just being annoying.

I am hoping that Phil will carry on not being an ass and a skunk in the future and we can get a different dynamic next episode.

Nope, still a douche. I'm out.
If someone keeps watching and the douche factor finally drops let me know.

Finished episode 7. We've had about 2 minutes of Phil not being an ass.
On a side note, did anyone else think "Todd needs a bullet" when Todd showed up? Or am I the only psychopath?

1. This show is a lot less enjoyable than when it was about the last man on earth. On the one hand it could get stale, but on the other did we even get a full episode when he was actually the last? Wish they'd taken some time to explore the concept. They were doing a neat job of it in ep 1.
2. Philosophy time: what keeps Phil from going full-evil-alpha on those women and that man? Technically, he doesn't even need a rape dungeon, he could have an open-air-rape-Main Street. He could put a bullet in Todd's head with absolutely no repercussions. He could breed all the women all the time. So when I get tired of Phil being a douche, I think, nay, I hope, the writers know they could have made Phil nonredeemable, so there must be something good they are building up to.
3. But, so much weird, surreal shit has happened to Phil since his near-suicide that I wonder if he actually went through with the suicide and all of this is his fantasy life flashing before his eyes as he hurtles through his windshield toward the rock... and even in his own fantasies, he doesn't get the hot girl.

Yeah, he's still a complete douche, and apparently we're not the only folks that think so as the ratings are beginning to tank.
It's funny because one of the articles I read said the show was geared towards a male demographic.
Really?
If that's the case, I think this show should be exhibit A in the case of "Hollywood vs. Reality".

Finished episode 8. I keep waiting for some payoff that does not exist. It's just devolving into sitcom repetitiveness.
Looks like 13 episodes are filmed, and there are 3 other cast people listed in IMDB.
At least he's doing better IRL
A source tells Us Weekly that the Mad Men actress, 37, has been casually dating the Saturday Night Live alum, 44, for a couple of months. "He's a good guy," the insider tells Us, adding that the new couple is "having fun."

That escalated quickly.
But... right?

This interview with Kristin Schaal is funnier than anything in the lasst few episodes.
It's Hulu so enjoy the long unskippable commercial.

I keep thinking things will change... but they wont... or dont... or havent.
He should just kill Carol and the guy at this point.
Well, maybe it changed. Thank God.

If I were him I would just leave because it's my personality to not want to associate with people who don't like me, but he seems to still be pretty screwed up about being alone for 2 years.
For me better to be alone than around people hostile to me.
But, then, I wouldn't have made the decisions he made to get in that situation, so.

So does order. Chaos, aside from the other attached bullshit, is where fun comes from. Order couldn't have fun if you put a gun to its head.

I decided to watch this until Season 1 ended.
I am happy to report that they had him hit rock bottom and it seems like they are moving away from "Phil is a potential rapist/murderer asshole".
In fact, they've now changed the dynamic of the group with two new additions and a drastic change to Phil's status.
The next few episodes will determine if there's a season 2 for me.

Yeah, Only 3 more episodes to go, I think?
That point at the very end, when they partially redeemed him, I figure I'll give it the rest of this season.

If someone told me that this was a modern take of No Exit, I would believe them.
