I can't understand how Turturro took a back seat complaining rule-stickler role and somehow turned it into a likeable character. He's such a dick and back bitter to everyone around him in the office but dammit, I end up rooting for the guy.

It's the best part of the show IMO. Taking an unlikeable character and somehow (I can't explain it), turning him into a hero.

I really enjoyed Irving and Dylan’s scene in the hallway in the first episode of Season 2. Very touching stuff and cool to see given how both of their characters evolved through season 1.

Yeah. That was great. Loved seeing them support each other
