Chris Ryan

Like there had been, we were repeating a lot of beats and I thought cinematically there was some brilliant stuff in it.

I would watch Coleman Domingo and Zendaya as I have in the special that they did where the two of them talk about addiction and spirituality and salvation and redemption extensively.

I think that their relationship, Ali and Rue's relationship is fascinating and

I thought Ollie's...

you know, sort of origin story and him going through the pandemic, losing people that he's the sponsor of was heartbreaking and fascinating.

The cutting and the shooting, like Natasha Lyonne makes a cameo as a prostitute living with Ollie for a while.

Like...

The cutting and, like, the banter and the energy and the electricity coursing through that is absent when Maddie is on, like, page... Like, the 70th iteration of I'm a pimp, but I'm also a manager's assistant, but now I'm a pimp again.

And I think ultimately, like...

Levinson probably had to like unite the threads in some ways.

The Lexi narks out everybody and then Maddie narks out everybody thing.

I just really hit my head against that.

I was like, I don't think these people would be that naive.

I don't think Maddie would be so naive as to like idly tell Alamo that...

Rue is now working for the DEA.

That's fucking crazy.

Yes.

And I felt it coming when that scene went on for a long time.

Being like, obviously this is going to get away from Lexi as she just passes this along.

That was a season two element was like, you know, Lexi writing a play about season two.
