What I’m Watching: Hung


Hung: Season 3, Episode 3 “Mister Drecker or Ease-Up on the Whup Ass” (B+)

It’s hard to be a prostitute for long without running into someone you know and mistakenly thinking that he or she is a client. Kaitlin Doubleday, sister of “Youth in Revolt” star Portia, made for a charming and alluring Logan Louis, Ray’s former history student who quickly realizes what Ray’s profession is and desperately wants to get with him. Fortunately, her presence came at the same time that Ray was feeling insecure about clients wanting to be with younger men, making Logan’s extreme desire to get an A this time the perfect ending for the episode. I’m glad that Jessica is getting a plotline of her own, though her unintentional mention of Mindy’s infamous action with Ronnie may have just screwed up her new gig. I enjoyed the rarely-seen Drecker children’s odd musical performance, and it was good to know that they’re still around and kicking. I’m thrilled that Tanya has decided to have Charlie released into her custody, and that should prove plenty entertaining and enlightening. It already has, as Charlie’s ditching of his anklet to “go get milk” leads to the revelation that Ray’s too-intense client Lydia is actually a cop, which explains quite a lot about the fantasies that she consistently acts on with Ray. I love that Lenore saw right through Sandee’s fake pregnancy, and I’m genuinely curious to see how Lenore manages to corrupt this formerly innocent girl, and what role she is going to end up taking on in the grand scheme of the show.
