This episode was so heavy.


I love this show because Chip reminds me of myself. Especially the dinamics involved with his French wife. I once had a girl friend like her. She only showed interest in me when she wanted something. Plus she was seeing her estranged husband on the side. I had a love/hate relationship with her.
This show was the best in this series to me. It showed Chip in the most fragile state of mind to me also.

They should just call the show a drama.

I don't think I laughed at all this week. It was kind of captivating in a strange way though. They've made Chip much deeper than your typical deadbeat lead of a comedy. But I hope he gets back to the family next week. This hobo excursion isn't doing it for me.

It is definitely a drama - not a comedy.

I would label "Baskets" a dramedy (part comedy/part drama) or dark comedy 😉

What??
This episode was way funnier than the last one, a lot of LOL moments, it was great...

reply

Season 1 was very funny and this season has taken a dark turn

the wife had so many great lines in the recent episode. watch them torture animals could be fun, or something like that.

I think one of the greatest strengths of this show is how it blends comedy and drama together. The show has an overall gloomy feel to it, but it also always has come great comedy in it.

The scene where he greets the police at the door had some LOL moments, like when he said he closed the door because his zipper was down...he looks downs and its still down, and he says 'Slippery little thing,' or something like that.
Plus the excuse that he's house sitting because they are out test driving at night.

It's crazy how the leader of that group of vagabonds died. This show has heart
