Nice try catfishing us into Season 7 by faking an Axel comeback. We are 4 episodes into Season 7, there was only one episode so far where Axel had an appearance. I'm only hanging around because Wendy Rhodes (Maggie Siff) is still there as a regular. That is one hot momma. :heart_eyes:
They did an ok job of wrapping it up. But the show without Axe just doesn’t work. I had to push through to finish this show.
Halfway through season 7, and it's some bullshit. I can't add much more than what's been commented on—"catfishing" the audience via Axe's so-called return is on point.
Mike Prince (Corey Stoll) is an absolute bore. What was mildly titillating in season 1, with Chuck (Paul Giamatti) & Wendy (Maggie Siff) getting their freak-on, has turned sour with almost every single central character indulging in the worst sexual deviance (chocolate shit?). Chuck's dad was always creepy but is now creepy while whiney and angry—another bore. I need to finish the series because I'm an absolutist, but this is a disappointing way to end a show that started with so much verve. Paul Giamatti, who is generally so enjoyable, as Chuck is almost unwatchable. Aside from the characters becoming farcical cartoons, the writing and plots, in general, are mealy and thin. It feels like the show never really recovered from the Covid break. I'm sorta glad it's finally ending.
