I didn't mind Doakes just because he was the only one that added any kind of plausibility to the show.

One is fun, two and three get tiresome, season four gets great because there's finally some accountability to his actions, and then it slowly devolves into a pile of hot elephant turds.

I quit after the Lithgow season, too. Deb was the worst.

I'll never understand how anyone hates Deb. She's pretty much the reason I kept watching.

I've sped through The Missing in the last week. It's just 8 episodes I tivo'd when I had Starz for a free preview weekend. It had me hooked from the start. I couldn't imagine being a parent and losing your child and not knowing what happened to him. I'd recommend it. There's some red herrings, as w/ any mystery show, but it really kept them few and far between.

Did they name a show 'The Slap' just to challenge the maxim 'there's nothing funny about domestic violence'?

I watch all their shows via Hulu or Amazon, so it didn't hit me until recently that Comedy Central is kicking ass these days. Daily Show, Colbert until now, Amy Schumer, Key and Peele, and Broad City. Probably a couple others I'm not thinking of or haven't seen.

One of the few networks I can think of that's actually improved over the last decade.
