Watched E3
I am still mystified about some of the plot changes that seem so arbitrary
Renata’s husband turns dumber than dirt just to give them more story line?
Jane once again can support herself in one of the most expensive COL areas in a very expensive state by working a part time job...
Celeste’s sons obviously are not in therapy—and they need it REALLY bad...
Doesn’t Celeste realize what Mary Louise is really doing???
Spoiler
She is gathering evidence to use against Celeste in a custody suit for the twins...
And based on just this E she is likely to get it...
I am disappointed in how predictable this show has been and think it will likely jump the shark in the final half trying to redeem itself...
FOMO...
The thing is I don’t think Streep “acts”
I think she just “is”
Maybe she has to think about that a lot to achieve it or maybe she just thinks about who her character is and why she does what the script calls for her to do so intently that it flows like a wellspring w/o effort
Because this Streep is NOT a nice person—and she is immensely unlikeable
Consider any Streep character before and tell me one that has been this unlikeable
And I imagine that when we get to the end of the series there won’t be any of that understandable empathy that allowed the audience to see past Miranda Priestly’s painfully acquired pastiche of pride into her vulnerable inner self...
There won’t be any of the humble strength that allowed Karen Blixen to kneel and beg for her KuKuyu people and to live a life of unconventional individualism
And there won’t be any of the devastating conundrum that punished Sophie for her choice—
Mary Louise is likely the most warped character Streep has played...
Remember the description of Eichmann—as the “banality of evil” personified...
Mary Louise doesn't want to hear anything bad about her son. Jane set her straight about Perry but Mary Louise doesn't believe or listen to the bad.
Corey, the guy from work that Jane went out with seems a bit weird to me. At the restaurant Corey interrogated the waitress about where the fish came from! Afraid he could turn into a stalker.

I think he is on the spectrum as they say now
And yes—likely could be a stalker but could also be a protector of Jane and Ziggy
The scene in E3 flashback when Perry and Celeste are in the bar and he finds out she is basically estranged from everyone and he tells her “so if I got you, I would have you all to myself” was totally creepy and predictive as to him choosing her as perfect victim—
It is very difficult to imagine that Celeste was ever self-confident enough to be the ballsy attorney she pretended in that one meeting with the mayor last season
She has no self confidence and she acted like she had nothing to give up when she married Perry and move to CA...he was the spider building his web...
Her psychologist really needs to be pressing her to 1–get rid of her mother in law since the psychologist has to know that Perry rage against women was likely seated in hatred of his mother, 2–get those boys into therapy BIG TIME...one of them is going to be dangerous to the other or to Ziggy
And really—what school is going to be teaching 2nd graders Charlette’s Web is an example of sustainability???
Trying so hard to not read these spoilers. I am on S2 E2...well, trying to be anyway. S2 E1 I was able to get within a week, but every time I search for the next one (now the next two), On Demand bounces me around to this and that and will never actually play the episode.
I do have Hulu on my phone, but that is a last resort.
Any advice? (trying to avoid calling AT&T)

It's not on Hulu. If you have a smart tv or Roku type device, you can download the HBO Go app, and watch it on your tv from there.

the Laura Dern character has turned totally unrealistic. Her behavior is over the top and more than soap opera.
I couldn't believe Jane talking to Perry's mom when she insinuated that she was to blame for her assault, what person would just stand there calmly and take that?
this season is almost already half over so I'll keep watching but it's gotten a bit dramatic for me.

But you have to have HBO on cable you can long on with or pay for subscription
Or have someone who will share their sign on w/you
