> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Oh crap, thanks for the heads up! Yeah, you’re welcome. USA did a bit of promotion by showing previous episodes for a few weeks, but always after 11pm, again. It would have been easy to miss. I still find that hour to be odd. I mean, it’s not as though this show is more violent or has more sex content than the average cable show… ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Or maybe this is the season the show goes full frontal? . If so, they need to be doing a better job of spreading the news. Why waste a ratings-bonanza like that? (Though thinking over the cast…all of whom are tremendously skilled and talented…I’m not sure that… Well, I’ll have to think about it. Or maybe about something else entirely.) ---

Really solid premier. Much better than much of last season. ---

I’m so bummed that there’s a 1-week delay between when new episodes air and when they’re available on Peacock! I’ll be a week behind y’all this season. Sigh. ---

I’ve binged this show over the past two weeks or so. Happy I finished pretty much just in time for the new season. But not on Netflix? Peacock is one of the few I don’t subscribe to! Not adding another. Yes this _is_ some bullshit ---

For everyone bemoaning not having Peacock–you can watch it on the USA Network website, [https://www.usanetwork.com/](https://www.usanetwork.com/) I think each episode will be available on Saturday. I watched the S4E1 and did enjoy it. Boy, Max really shot up in the month that Harry was imprisoned. ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Brilliant use of the music from _The Incredible Hulk_. . Yeah, they may have gotten there after _Family Guy_ did, but: it still works. ETA: This Saturday I happened to notice that USA was repeating the previous night’s new episode, from 12 to 1pm ET. Not sure if that’s an every-week thing, but if so, might be helpful. ---

The repeat turns out NOT to be at the same time; this weekend the Friday 11pm-midnight new episode wasn’t shown the next day. According to my schedule it will be shown at 6am tomorrow morning (Saturday into Sunday) on USA.
