    Man, evangelicals are an interesting breed.
    Such a sad, terrible story. I may have missed this in the documentary, but apparently Mica was his mistress during his first marriage. It doesn’t excuse the crazy shit JP did, but it does sort of reframe their whole relationship.

      Yeah, well she was a 16-yr-old kid at the time. That dude is evil.

            New season of The Gentlemen has started. Guy Ritchie created/written and sometimes directed, British dark comedy/drama. Stars Theo James (Season 2 Whit Lotus). I'd describe it as Breaking Bad light. Enjoyable and often funny despite being quite dark. Just nowhere near the depth of BB. Funny enough, Giancarlo Staton plays a significant role and it is quite similar to the Gus Fring role in BB. Bottom line, if you're looking for an entertaining watch that you don't really have to pay close attention to, this is a good one.

              I liked Season 1. And the original movie.

                Season 1 was great. I look forward to checking out the new season.

                Original Movie? How did I miss that?

                    I definitely enjoyed season 1, excited for season 2! Theo James was great in both shows.
                    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
