In defense of the direction of Rico's character, he was made justifiably bitter because he felt he was doing 9/10ths of the work and was being taken for granted. In many respects this was an accurate assessment, and as a result he developed a love-hate relationship with David and Nate.

Now that he finally got a taste of power he is letting it go to his head and is having trouble concealing his built-up contempt. On one level he is rightly trying to establish new working boundaries, refusing to take just any orders, and is resentful when David and Nate still treat him like the hired help. On another level, with this new sense of entitlement comes a newfound sense of superiority since he did, afterall, have to force them to admit how valuable he was to the business.

But I think he will slowly start to see that David was far better at his job and did a lot more than he initially gave him credit for. This will probably make him rebel even more because his ego will not be able to accept that he doesn't know best. I can see where he is going to be a pompous prick but begrudgingly he will have to admit over the course of the season that maybe he isn't as smart as he thinks he is. So don't give up on him yet, it'll be great to see him eat some crow!

First ep was weak, but things are definitely beginning to take off. Ruth and Kathy Bates' character are bound to have some interesting "Thelma and Louise" moments ahead, and yeah, there seems to be a foreshadowing of "taking it" to some kind of next level, sexual or friendshipwise.

I'm guessing Nate and Lisa are being given 4 eps to flesh out their relationship's strengths and weaknesses, positives and negatives, before Hurricane Brenda arrives to tear it to shreds. It won't be as black and white as Brenda-good/ Lisa-bad. The writers are too good to allow Brenda to win in a cakewalk.

It's difficult to watch Keith and David because it has the tell-tale signs of a relationship that is dying a slow, agonizing death. While an honest portrayal of a couple desperately grasping at straws, it is nonetheless tough to watch. I keep expecting Keith to start beating David and out of dread feel like switching the channel when they come on.

Still one of the best shows!!!
