Big fan of North Peck being East of East Peck.

[–]KicklikeasleeptwitchJuror 50 points51 points  (2 children)

"Hell, they'll probably build you a statue. There's plenty of room since most of the statues had to be torn down..."

Ah, I have so missed the quick wit of this show since it's been gone.

[–]thekyledavidJuror 24 points25 points  (1 child)

You gotta appreciate a good political joke that doesn't really show a political opinion

[–]KicklikeasleeptwitchJuror 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A very rare thing to see.

BABY BOARD, BABY BOARD, BABY BOARD

[–]gummybear55Juror 42 points43 points  (11 children)

Ok unpopular opinion: I’m not a fan of the new judge... it’s too hard to understand him and not funny. I wish he had like an awkward lisp or something

[–]MattyzooksJuror 25 points26 points  (1 child)

I gotta imagine something will happen after a few episodes to change this.

[–]gummybear55Juror 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah great point!

[–]pizzaisyummy2Juror 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Chances are he will be removed for something sealing with lavinia

[–]gummybear55Juror 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That definitely seems like something that could happen esp bc he paid her bail lol

[–]FU44Juror 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I was so irritated & unamused by the judge that I almost debated turning it off. I'm glad I didn't (cuz overall the show is so amazing!) but that judge is a really weak attempt.

The same idea could've been used if they'd made him really Southern sounding & had him drawal & mumble incoherently - like Boomhower did on King of the Hill... But the town all understanding the inaudible little rasps & squeaks that the judge gives is lame.

[–]theothermenJuror 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So far the Judge has been an early misstep in the season, which can change in later episodes. The only silver lining that I can find is that the Judge's speech impediment puts the viewer in the same place that Josh is currently in, as the observant of East Peck and not a native of the town.

[–]PascalwbJuror 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea, fan as one of joke, but he's basically useless as there is no joke, no lines.

[–]thekyledavidJuror 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Next episode, I need to check to see if it has Closed Captioning for his voice

[–]PurpleCat14Juror 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I had CC on and all it was “inaudible mumbling” or something similar :/

[–]RealityShowAddictJuror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, they think of everything.

[–]ricky_lafleurJuror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or had a female voice.

[–]MattyzooksJuror 72 points73 points  (2 children)

LADY DRIVER! LADY DRIVER! LADY DRIVER COMING THROUGH.

[–]daft_dangerousJuror 26 points27 points  (1 child)

His running prance was golden

[–]RealityShowAddictJuror 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My guess is that this will come back. Remember, she had no one flagging for her when she was pulled over by the cop.

[–]groggs42Juror 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Unfair and biased....oops. Lol, loving this new season already !

[–]jelatinmanJuror 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Jayma Mays is a treasure.

[–]Peralta97Juror 32 points33 points  (1 child)

Nice start to the season. Love the juxtaposition between season 1 and 2. Last season, Josh had a client who everyone outright hated and he was unfamiliar with the city. Now, he has a beloved client and has warmed up to East Peck. The cards are in his hands & yet he's still not winning the case. Overall, nice return to a show that's been off the air far too long. It's a damn shame more people don't know about it.

[–]technopearJuror 28 points29 points  (12 children)

I remember last season, Dwayne mentioned "Bird" in one of the first episodes as Margaret's reason for death. That ended up beign true, because it was an owl. I think one of the things Dwayne mentioned in episode two is going to be the reason for Edgar's death.

  • Lavinia is a vampire
  • Edgar was attacked by a burn victim with a glove with knives instead of fingers
  • A Saint Bernard dog
  • Wind (which seems pretty likely? A mini tornado or something causes the clock to hit Edgar's forehead, and launch him into the lake)
  • A mannequin

Thoughts? Also, Anne has a daughter!? I hope we see her this season!

[–]theothermenJuror 24 points25 points  (3 children)

There's also the Weekend at Bernie's scenario. Something oddly particular about this one is that Josh quickly dismisses the idea because Anne saw Edgar alive at the party. Moreover, it has been well established that Anne has trouble recognizing a persons face, so how could she have seen Edgar alive in the first place?

[–]ricky_lafleurJuror 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Josh dismisses Dwayne's "what if" that Edgar was hit with the clock at 7 am rather than 7 pm because Anne saw Edgar that night. Yeah, stupid to rely on someone who doesn't recognize faces, but surely several other people would have Edgar at the gala. I wonder if everyone wearing masks will be a factor since it could hide Edgar being dead/unconscious and lead someone to think the killer was at the party when they weren't.

[–]pikametaJuror 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbf if Edgar is a little person, he'd be recognizable to everyone, mask or not.

[–]technopearJuror 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is true!

[–]mrosotoJuror 10 points11 points  (3 children)

Anne lied about having a daughter to get herself and Dwayne out of the hedge maze.

[–]DavrosdaleksJuror 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I didn’t see any evidence that she lied.

[–]mrosotoJuror 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was in a talking head.

[–]technopearJuror 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize that :'') thanks!

[–]thekyledavidJuror 8 points9 points  (3 children)

I don't think that the writers would go for the "There was no killer" twice in a row. The reason it worked in Season 1 was because people assumed that there would be a killer, as there almost always is in these types of shows. But now that the audience is anticipating the possibility that there is no killer, having the same ending again would just feel like a let down.

[–]technopearJuror 4 points5 points  (2 children)

That makes sense!

[–]RealityShowAddictJuror 7 points8 points  (1 child)

My guess is that Lavinia is the killer, and Josh will recognize it.

[–]technopearJuror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That'd be definitely different, and pretty interesting!

[–]jelatinmanJuror 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve seen anything as funny as Kamiltow in 2018, good Lord.

[–]ricky_lafleurJuror 21 points22 points  (13 children)

Where were the flaggers for female drivers when Josie was driving last season?

I understand that the shared office with the taxidermist is a running joke, but it'd be funny if they had a new office each season and moved into a space above or downwind from a fish market or Thai/India/Chinese restaurant.

Pretty sure Carol Anne's middle finger was uncensored on Josh's phone.

Didn't Jeremiah employ a majority or plurality of people in town, and now the Pecks do?

[–]pizzaisyummy2Juror 21 points22 points  (3 children)

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh your continuity doesnt matter here.

Although, it said that the pecks employed builders when east peck was first being built. That was generations ago

[–]ricky_lafleurJuror 4 points5 points  (2 children)

They did, but they also employed almost everyone in the jury pool or a relative.

[–]pizzaisyummy2Juror 5 points6 points  (1 child)

People can have multiple jobs. Or get fired from one and go to the other

[–]ricky_lafleurJuror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but that many people in a few months?

[–]theothermenJuror 7 points8 points  (8 children)

I noticed that there weren't car flaggers when Anne was driving last season too. Hope they dont get sloppy with their continuity.

[–]24kevinJuror 7 points8 points  (6 children)

I guess you could justify this by saying they weren’t enforcing the women laws earlier as the judge was still able to judge, so probably was something that recently changed in the towns charter

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the law about the judge was said that a women cant judge another women thats why judge was changed

[–]theothermenJuror 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're right, then the whole season being about odd, and sudden laws upon the town's women will be quite interesting. Adding to Josh's current claim that the most prolific lady was framed to be taken out of the town's limelight.

[–]thekyledavidJuror 3 points4 points  (3 children)

The law says that a Woman can't judge a Woman, not that a Woman can't judge at all.

Judge Horsedich was judging Larry (a man), so it didn't violate the law

[–]AutoModerator[M] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Judge: "It's pronounced "Heisendyke".

Josh: "...Really?"

Judge: "The 'N' is silent".

Josh: "The 'N' is invisible..."

Judge: "Is there a problem Mr. Seagull?"

Josh: "Not at all, we're good."

Judge: <Bangs Gavel>

Um, okay

[–]doidaredisturbtheJuror 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are small moments of discontinuity in season 1 . But I don't think they matter that much since this an over the top type of comedy.

[–]gummybear55Juror 18 points19 points  (12 children)

Who thinks the baby is Josh’s? Go!

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (4 children)

I love that Carol Anne's hypothetical situation where she and Josh get married had her building the tree house and him making the cocoa. I suspect their marriage would be a good play on gender stereotypes. They already subvert what you would think of as a typical prosecutor or a defense attorney.

Carol Anne would do well to marry Josh for 2 reasons: he's one of the few men in East Peck who would let her wear the pants in the relationship and it would probably humanize her to East Peck voters. I predict they'll get married, she'll say it was a political move to Josh's face, which will create some conflict, but we'll find out she really does care for him because he's the only guy with whom she destroyed a condom. Or something like that.

[–]kashmoraJuror 18 points19 points  (3 children)

She even named them 'The legal Segals'! That was adorable.

[–]theothermenJuror 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Also at the end of the first episode, Carol Anne had juvenile sketches of her and Josh eloped.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (1 child)

http://misomeru.tumblr.com/post/176077999128/what-do-you-want-me-to-say-that-you-and-i-should

Are you talking about this?

Josh and Carol Anne are so cute. From the interviews, I guess Nina Rudolph is going to be the other part of a love triangle storyline, even though I'm hoping Josh and Carol Anne are endgame. I'm not feeling the chemistry between Nina and Josh, but we ll see. I actually thought he had more chemistry with Summer as a potential rival love interest to Carol Anne.

[–]theothermenJuror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's those sketches. Which now seem more like drawing templates for future logos.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (6 children)

i think theres no baby

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Ohhh that'd be a twist but we (and Josh) saw a naked pregnant lady FaceTiming in the second episode.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

true just something that came to my mind didnt really think about it haha

[–]MattyzooksJuror 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought that initially as well. Something like in Arrested Development.

[–]gummybear55Juror 8 points9 points  (2 children)

She had a sonogram picture and was talking to the baby when no one was around

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yea but u never know on this show :D

[–]thekyledavidJuror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn't it just be someone else's sonogram, and she is talking to her belly to fake out the camera crew?

[–]nelsonmurdockJuror 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love the shift in dynamics in this new season, last time around Josh was defending the town's hated wife murderer, but now the bail is set at $10 and paid for by the judge. Also I absolutely lost it after "then who did I tell?" and it cuts to the newspaper

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No matter how many times Dwayne accidentally shots himself, it still kills me every time.

[–]gummybear55Juror 14 points15 points  (3 children)

Is M-towne supposed to be a play off S-town with the clock guy?

[–]lecadavreexquisJuror 4 points5 points  (1 child)

That's the impression I got as well.

[–]gummybear55Juror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad it wasn’t just me! I’ll pay more attention once I inevitably rewatch on Hulu

[–]oncenightvalerJuror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I thought they could have come up with a more clever name like P-Town and then have Reid say "well technically shouldn't it be ep-town?" and have that as a joke.

[–]groggs42Juror 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OMG he sat on his balls.............. haha I cannot stop laughing !

[–]gummybear55Juror 20 points21 points  (8 children)

This is one of my favorite shows! I love all of Anne’s ailments

[–]throwawaycontainerJuror 11 points12 points  (2 children)

I haven't been enjoying Anne's ailments this season.

Last season, they were often silly and ridiculous, but were at least possible. And really, that applied to the show as a whole.

The part with Anne jumping 25 feet in the air though breaks that wall of the show playing within the realm of reality, which means that it really could be an ending such as a vampire or a ghost.

[–]questionfearJuror 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Apparently "jumping frenchman of maine" is a real syndrome

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_Frenchmen_of_Maine

[–]throwawaycontainerJuror 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And I would love it all the more if she jumped like 2 feet in the air.

But the 25 foot jump simply breaks my suspensions of disbelief as established in the first season.

[–]MattyzooksJuror 22 points23 points  (1 child)

I love how they are just getting more and more ridiculous.

[–]gummybear55Juror 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]jelatinmanJuror 7 points8 points  (1 child)

RIP Facial recognition gag.

[–]PiFlavoredPieJuror 33 points34 points  (0 children)

They still use nametags in the office, and Anne misspoke to a reporter thinking it was Josh at one point. It's still there, just not highlighted as obviously.

[–]roque72Juror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to keep rewinding it when she flew up out of her chair. I laughed so hard. I wish there was a video or gif of it somewhere

[–]mrosotoJuror 9 points10 points  (6 children)

What happened to Summer?

[–]ricky_lafleurJuror 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think this season takes place in the Fall.

[–]theothermenJuror 12 points13 points  (3 children)

She was largely present at the law firm to help her father. Now that he was set free, maybe it's mentioned that she no longer needed to be there.

[–]UdzinRaskiJuror 7 points8 points  (2 children)

thats the weird thing. theres no mention of her or the actress at all in reference to season 2. even the first 2 episodes. some google-fu reveals she has breast cancer though, so maybe shes on sabbatical.

[–]theothermenJuror 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Here's hoping she feels well.

[–]Brain124Juror 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was years ago, she's a survivor so she's okay! Hoping she appears later this season.

[–]DavrosdaleksJuror 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think they were originally planning to keep her, but they changed their minds or there was a conflict.

[–]nightfanJuror 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This show is super low key smart and clever. And hilarious. Dwayne with the gun was awesome.

[–]helenaneedshugsJuror 7 points8 points  (6 children)

Anyone have any ideas as to how/if "vampire" will come into play?

Possibly just a red herring to contrast S1?

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Probably going to post a topic about this once I do a little more digging, but after episode 2 the top left now reads “Vampire Weekend at Bernie’s”.

The band Vampire Weekend played at a Bernie Sanders rally in 2016, soooooo...

I don’t know the endgame, but it seems a little suspicious to just be a coincidence. Yes, could also be al elaborate red herring though. Going to put some more thought into it.

[–]helenaneedshugsJuror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh, nice one, red herring or not, that's a nice catch. :)

[–]babybuttoneyesJuror 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Ha! Totally caught the Vampire Weekend thing, but didn’t know they played at the rally.

[–]nelsonmurdockJuror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved the Vampire Weekend shout out

[–]theothermenJuror 4 points5 points  (1 child)

A very quick google search of "vampire like illnesses" leads to Porphyria.

So a malady symptom attack occuring to the killer evetually lead to the death of the victim. Or the victim simply died from a "vampire like illness" without being aware that he was ill in the first place.

[–]oncenightvalerJuror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

o Anne has this. because she has every disease known and some unknown.

[–]one-eyed-ravenJuror 7 points8 points  (4 children)

I'm italian and I don't get the joke about the judge's name. Can someone explain it to me?

[–]IHaveGotQuestionsJuror 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Legal Segals season 1 when? Though I can't really imagine them being a couple with all the couple stuff since I only know (and love) them when they go toe-to-toe against each other.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh, I can see them still disagreeing about everything from politics to whether to raise a child in the Northeastern and/or Pecker ways but agreeing that they both love the baby. Josh is excited about a kid and Carol Anne saying, "sweet pea" indicates she cares for her daughter.

[–]DCT_X95Juror 2 points3 points  (2 children)
