Just finished my first watch. Loved it, but have a question

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole ride, but I’m a little confused on one thing: Why don’t Lee and Gamby remain friends? The smiles they give each other in the food court seemingly indicate that they don’t continue their friendship and are just knowingly acknowledging their shared past from afar. After the emotional graduation day, Lee clearing his name, and the heartfelt professing of their love for each other, why wouldn’t they remain close? Too much trauma they need to move on from?

Does anyone know the film location of Russell's house

I've been searching throughout Charleston. Nothing in Park Circle fits the bill. I was thinking the Ashley Harbor neighborhood, or Marsh Cove, but google maps won't allow you to access those areas through streetview. Anyone got an inkling?

What do you think would happen if Gamby and/or Russell had to look over these five in a saturday detention?

Favorite Little Details

I’m doing a re-watch and can’t remember how all the storylines wrapped up. But as of the first half of the second season Ray really appears to have won Neal over.

One of the best

This is one of the best shows I've seen. I love Danny McBride and Walton Goggins together. I wish this had been longer than it was.

Just finished the series. This show is much darker than I imagined

I know, I know it’s a “dark” comedy but damn even for a dark comedy I thought this series was pretty damn dark. Anyone else have a similar thought upon watching/rewatching?

this show does second hand embarrassment amazingly

so i’ve always liked Danny McBride in stuff he’s been in and i recently saw he had the three shows on Max.

but the amount of times we had to look away because of the second hand embarrassment is astoundingly good. It really started with Russell spitting in Browns in coffee and her catching him and it just got better from then on.

I know it’s not much of a post but in my opinion if i have to look away from the scene from embarrassment of a fictional character, everyone in involved in the show has done an outstanding job at actually executing an all around good show.

we can’t wait to start East Bound and Down and then Righteous Gemstones

Does the show end satisfyingly enough?

Hello, I've been wanting to check this series and noticed that there is only 2 seasons. My question is: Was it cancelled without a conclusion at all or was it the plan (in a way) to end it at 2?

Just finished the show. It’s on par with Breaking Bad for me.

Season 2 was amazing writing. I don’t say this lightly.

Is the stache real?

(Here’s a photo for reference)

Might be a dumb question.

Did Danny McBride really grow that mustache for Gamby or is it a fake ?

Big need

Random question, have any of you came across an air freshener of Goggins face when he walks past the goat when he's on drugs? There's gotta be one somewhere right? It's too good not to have. Thanks!

Confused on the ending

So did Abbott actually shoot Gamby or is the shooter still at large and she just wanted to frame Russel to end their newfound friendship ?

Research on s1ep3 "The Field Trip"

Hey everyone!
For a research paper I look into a certain phrase and stumbled upon it being used in your show. Unfortunately the show is not included in any streaming service I own and I am unable to sub on one for each of my research objects (100 unique instances vs. one broke student). Therefore I would be indredibly thankful if you could tell me who says the following line(s) in season 1, episode 3 "The Field Trip":

Ray's really good, isn't he?
I'm noticing some inconsistencies.
He's losing a lot of speed around those turns.
Jealous much?
Why, because he rides a dirt bike and gets my sloppy seconds?
What's sloppy seconds?
Your mom because of her bad attitude.

tysm in advance!

Walton Goggins

So I just got done watching the first season of “Fallout” and started watching “Vice Principals”. Watching Goggins go from the Ghoul to Lee Russel is by far the funniest damn thing in the show for me. Kudos to you Mr. Goggins.

Lee’s sisters

Hi, I’m watching the show for the first time and am in the episode where Lee’s father passes. I can’t say anything but how vile his sisters are, like not even including him to speak. Then literally ripping his pants off. I know it’s a comedy, but my heart couldn’t help but hurt for him. They’re just so vile like that’s literally the only word I can use.

Gamby and Russell

Just finished the show, and I wanted to just come and say I absolutely loved it, what a gem of a show. Russell and Gambys bromance is one of the best things ever put to screen

Does gamby become less embarrassing as the show progresses?

The shows main characters have all the traits I despise so far in episode 3, yes it is entertaining, the writing is definitely not garbage. But the second hand embarrassment and cringe I get from the behaviors in this show is painful because the reactions are just so realistic, it’s not super scripted and funny sounding like most tv shows

Lee’s sister’s diary

Just finish my first rewatch after watching the show as it came out back in the day. Was there any explanation or theories about what was contained in Lee’s sister’s diary that was so awful? TIA.

Why did Russel not really deny shooting gamby?

Shouldn't he have tried to convince him harder since it really wasn't him
