What I’m Watching: Hung


Hung: Season 3, Episode 7 “What’s Going on Downstairs or Don’t Eat Prince” (B+)

The way Ray acted to Kayla after being informed by Tanya that she used to be a man was truly deplorable, and the fact that he ultimately came to her rescue and danced with her in front of her former classmates only somewhat makes up for his behavior. What I mentioned last week about Ray being less likeable lately was doubly true in this episode, as he was moody with Jason and Tanya and then whined about how he was doing Kayla a favor, to which she rightly responded that she was paying him for it and that he should really be the one complaining. Ray’s blabbering about his potentially gay son were rather incoherent and embarrassing, and I would have expected much more professionalism from the now-seasoned prostitute. Tanya’s style has never leaned towards aggressive, and therefore Charlie’s violent, Gatorade-sponsored involvement in the intimidation of Jason and Sandee was reasonably frightful. The notion, suggested with his departure, that he was the one who stole Ray’s shoebox takes things to a whole new, unsettling level, since he did always seem to have Tanya’s back, even if he was generally against everyone else in her life. Sandee’s excitement at whoring out her fiancée is rather amusing, and I sure hope that she doesn’t do anything with that porn website and her ill-conceived domain name. Lenore appears to know much more about what’s going on than others think she does, and I suspect that Charlie is going to be the least of Jason and Sandee’s problems in the near future.
