I understand how you feel with the improbability factor though and it's valid. It's the same reason I can't enjoy any of the super hero movies. Honestly, what's the point? Anything can happen and be written/re-written to accommodate whatever considering they all have super powers and this provides no true basis for an actual story. "Oh you died? Here, let me sprinkle pixy dust, wave a magic wand or snap the fingers of my magic glove and suddenly everyone's alive and happy again! Hooray!" Bullshit, that isn't how life works. |

Otherwise, I have no interest in "cross-over comic book movie universes" and all that stuff for 12-year old comic book readers. My dad was taking me to the race track and Metallica concerts even before that age..........not sitting around reading comics. |

Ruth is the best character. I particularly love her profanities.

I don't think the comparison with superhero movies is valid, you walk into those knowing it's fantasy, TV shows like Ozark sell you on the realism of the potential situation so when they get silly (like season 2) you do feel like switching it off.

Hell, I loved the first and second John Wick movies.............I thought the 3rd was a turd and can't believe they are going to make a 4th. |

Not saying your point isn't valid, but I begin everything, in this day and age, knowing that it's fantasy. Movies, television shows, the news, politics, religion, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if The Black Panther ran for president......and won. The only things in life that holds any merit with me these days are those that I can taste, touch and smell; I don't even trust my eyes anymore.

Darth One, do you think Ruth's trailer is filled with books of literature and poems? She can certainly turn a phrase. I don't recall but maybe two scenes shot in there with her family...

She's certainly advanced level, what with her ability to invent new words on the fly...
