I just knew that when this can't miss crew - once that vomitable "trudy" was out the way for good - took a (down)turn into nightrider territory it would keep right on going. Just *why* this miserable direction was taken I still don't know, but whoever's to blame deserves the coals - as in raked over - for it. I don't have enough barely polite words (lots that ain't though) to express my outraged disgust at the idiotic bucket of undercooked backwards mega racist crap this segment of H&L devolved into; its pathetically overblown scenarios are as fresh as a dead daisy, along with the grimly executed acting therein. Were (m)any of the whites in S3 here somehow encouraged to channel their ancestral stupidity in portraying these caricatures of not old school enough prejudice? (Details of same I leave to the viewer to assess & reflect on.) Only 1 "female" individual portrayal was sufficiently loathsome - like the delicate fragrance of a cigarette smoked bar - to invoke any aspect of real menace. Given, however, the nonstop putridity of the town's atmosphere, we actually can be grateful of that; it would be absolutely intolerable to sit through several hours of a clutch of people like *her* farting out that level of hatred & ignorance like a barn full of upset cows. Luckily even having to include the trudy ones, the 1st 2 seasons of the misadventures of Hap & Leonard have more than enough twists to make Utz pretzels jealous, bracing sociocultural commentary that both pains & inspires while not dragging the viewers through noxious decades older mud & a raft of characters we both love - & love to hate - that will overshadow the tiresome unnecessarily violent & anger-inducing letdown of its unfitting buzzard song ending.
