    Compared to the uneventful, boring season 1, this season was fantastic.

    Compared to some of the best shows on TV, this show is beat. I think we all should have known things were going to work out in some form. I prefer that they decided to say fuck Yosi and Gina Gershon and go with the jew from Rescue Me. Going with the 'little-guy-who-will-die-for-the-company' instead of selling out and practically giving up Crisp. This should have been their outlook from the beginning, but then there's no conflict.

    Lake Bell and Ziggy doing mushrooms was awesome :acid: and I really like Ziggy's reckless character. What I can't stand is Lake Bell making all of her relationship choices around Ben after they've had like 2 scenes together all season and that frustrates me.

    The thing that bothers me the most about this show is the Entourage-esque ease of solving problems. These dumb, annoying Kirsten/Kristen bitches don't wanna talk business while they're partying in NYC? FUCK IT! We'll just throw a hoody on Cudi's friend and have them love it!

    More Eddie Kaye Thomas please. He better be out of Otisville (15 minutes from my parents, btw) by season 3.

    Rene is a useless character. Why has he ever been on the show? The only cool part of his storyline this season was bringing the psychotic skater back and his curvy female and her lesbian daughter.

    Am I the only one who thinks LuLu is unattractive, but would still pound the ever loving shit out of her?

      Really? I thought a ton of more stuff happened in the first season.

      Building Crisp from scratch
      Going on a man hunt for the right Dneum.
      Getting the meeting with the Asian guy
      Changing from jeans to shirts.
      Going on a man hunt to fill their quota.
      Getting the hookup from Lisa P.
      Getting their stuff stolen by Renee.
      Landing the trip to Japan.

      Seemed like every episode they had a physical agenda to accomplish.

      On the other hand, this season 80% of the Crisp story line was just a moral dilemma within Ben. After the first two episodes I don't remember Cam doing anything Crisp related. I'm seriously drawing blanks on what he has been doing this season.

      Crisp was the after thought to a bunch of irrelevant story lines and characters. Lake Bell should just be there for show, climbing in and out of beds half naked. I really don't care about her life as a magazine writer. Why is Gina Gershon's husband part of the show? She could easily carry his business role and instead of him having screen time. That time could be spent on her enticing Ben with more sex.
      Rasta Monsta I use to have no problem with, but I had to draw the line when actual Jamaicans started popping up.

      Up until the last minute of the season Crisp had progressed nowhere from the first episode, only for everything to fall together off screen at the end. Cam found a tailor? Cool, how about you actually show us that instead of spending 5 minutes on the exchange of a gay Jamaican for weed spray.
      This show ended like a series that's getting cancelled and has to unexpectedly squeeze everything into one final episode.

      slow
      slow
      slow
      slow
      slow
      slow
      10 things happen in one minute, credits roll, end show.

        This show used to be realistic, but not anymore. Kid Cudi is able to whip up a fucking pristine production of hundreds of thc sprays with Rasta Monsta labels?? Not to mention, is Kid Cudi so retarded that he didn't realize what kind of danger he was putting onto Rene's company?

        Just a lot of little things... Think it has escalated due to how fast-paced this season was.

          She's weird, dude. I don't know what it is, but she's incredibly hot in some really offbeat way. I can't even explain why she's attractive.

            HBO canceled this today. Wow.

            I'm not upset or anything but definitely surprised. Figured it'd get another go.
