What I’m Watching: Hung


Hung: Season 3, Episode 4 “Fuck Me, Mr. Drecker or Let’s Not Go to Jail” (B+)

For someone who was rejected last week as not being young enough, Ray seems to have found his game again as Logan goes crazy loving having Ray pretend to be her teacher while she’s the student. The sight of Ray playing pool and showing off isn’t necessarily pretty, and there’s something about it that just seems too cocky, as if Ray is about to be set for a fall. Jessica’s visit puts that on full display, as she is less than impressed with his choice of companion. Jessica’s bonding with her boss over musicals seemed innocent and dorky enough, but he really isn’t the right man for her, not that Ray is at the moment either. Lydia, not unsurprisingly, didn’t react well to being dumped by Ray, and she was ready to threaten Tanya to ensure that she wasn’t discarded. Tanya’s efforts to ease the situation by sending Jason in as the burglar didn’t yield positive results, and it looks like it’s pissed Lydia off enough to arrest Ray, which is sure not to pan out but still doesn’t bode well for our protagonists. Charlie is giving Tanya some good advice, but her only listening to his essence is both aggravating him and causing her to make poor decisions. Both Jason and Sandee are doing their best to get as much as they can out of Lenore, but she is one strong, unyielding, and highly manipulative woman who is without a doubt the most entertaining and fantastic character on this show.
