    First episode was great, second one not so much.

    Noah eviscerating the emotionally fragile feminist was hilarious as ? though.

    I liked the 2nd ep. I was invested in both storylines.

    The art dude Whitney is ? seemed too over the top imo tho. Came off as more of a caricature than a real character. Felt silly.

    Alison still seems hella unstable. lol @ her randomly running into Oscar. So she could unload all her problems on him.

    smh tho. After Masters of Sex got cancelled. Ppl online talkin this might get cancelled after this season too.

    I really hate getting invested in shows only to see them get cancelled. Leaves the stories unresolved.

    c/s

    They skipped over sooooooo much story. From Noah's time in jail, Noah n Alison's breakup to Alison's meltdown n signing away/leaving her daughter.

    I assume they will cover it all in flashbacks tho

    Jus watched ep 5. lol wtf.

    The Alison part was more wierd funny. With Noah sayin n doin dumb stuff.

    Then the Noah part was jus....from the guard flashbacks to that random af story bout killin his mother. N course they smashed lol. More like a depressed goodbye smash tho.

    The talk in the hot tub was deep tho. Bout them both bein a mistake, how they both used each other etc.

    So the guard is not real....?? Lol. Who knows lol

    I honestly don't even see how this could go past a Season 3. This season has been pretty boring overall and I don't even really know where they could go for more storylines without totally jumping the shark. I wanna know who stabbed Noah and that's really it. Don't really care if Alison gets unsupervised visits with her daughter or not, I mean are they gonna have Noah and Alison get back together and have them ? back and forth with Cole and Louisa for an entire season???

    Episode 7 didn't really break any new ground except that I am a little more interested in the Gunther character now.

    I might be in the minority here but Noah a damn fool.His ex wife is a keeper she is decent looking , smart , has a high sex drive even after 4 kids , got money and more than anything holds him down despite all the ? he puts her through... i'd be satisfied with that.

    Jus watched eps 6-8

    I dont even know anymore. I get this season is about what happens after a affair n how ppl deal with the fallout. Mixed in the murder cover up/jail time for Noah. But season has gone soooooooooo far off the rails. Its jus bizarre.

    Noahs meds are clearly making him crazy n see ? . He is delusional. I dont think the co is following him.

    But lol tho. U wreck the French professors car, then she throws the ? at u. Ok. Even when noah loses he wins lol

    So they dont explain who the kid was that noah saw in the lake???!!!

    I dont understand why the writers feel the need to make Helen a horrible person this season. I mean wtf. ? Max after he jus told her he bout to get married. Treating Vic like ? . Freaking out about her parents getting back together. Smh. She was the real victim in the 1st 2 seasons. I felt sympathy for her. This season she jus a evil, lieing, broken ? .

    **Spoiler alert**. I think Helen stabbed Noah. How she was acting with the wine, n pills n all the 'i kno u' stuff. Tho Noah is so delusional, none of that mighta been real.

    At this point i think the writers r jus ? with us. How both versions of each story is so different. They not even trying to match up ? no mo. Smh

    Um how Helen jus shows up at the bar with Alison.

    Its annoying watching n not knowing what's real n what's not. Based on how this season is goin, i don't think it will all make sense in the end. Smh.

    I'm so glad Noah seems to be getting back on track..him being crazy for several episodes was probably necessary to understand his character, but still annoying.

    Glad he seems to be reconnecting with his kids too.

    Jus watched eps 9 n 10.

    9 was good cuz there was alotta payoff for the storylines etc. Solid wrap up of the mother/c.o./pain meds/stabbing backstory...Good to see Helen finally unload the murder secret. lol @ helen n Alison admitting they basically co killed Scott Lockhart. Tho i find it annoying they felt the need to make Noah a crazy person with mother/assisted suicide issues to explain his affair. IMO it was a better story when he jus a bored husband, tired of the routine. And Alison was the right broken broad at the right time, and his need to save her breathed fresh air into his life. Nothing more, nothing less. All that other backstory jus felt like clutter. Like it didnt need to be that deep.

    Ep 10. Okay, i guess. I dont buy Whitney so easily letting him back into her life tho....@ the end when the cabbie asked him where to next. I expected him to say "Montauk", then cut to credits.

    Just watched ep 9...agree with all you said. Best episode so far.
