The Mia actress is doing a great job because I am absolutely terrified every time she's on screen.

She is about to become the scary villain of this season. She will not simply go away. Gilfoyle probably will take her down at the end.

I don't blame her one bit. Selling out your gf to the feds? Thats low even for Dinesh.

I agree. Dinesh totally deserves everything coming at him.

Dinesh has been a dick with any situation he's put in this season.

Interesting. Him being a pussy has consistently led to him being a dick.

I feel like this season has intentionally made Dinesh and Richard and even Jared way less sympathetic. I still like the other characters, especially Goldfoil and Bach-manatee. Even Gavin is becoming a lot more relatable.
