Episode 7.
There's a part of me that thinks lester is such a worm, but there's also this part of me that can't help but like him.
I'm not saying he's a role model, haha, but what I like:
For a loser real estate dude, he sure is resourceful and weasly, I think part of it is luck, but he has squirmed his way out of many sticky situations.
His wife was god awful, though killing your wife with a ball peen hammer is probably not the best route.
He reminds me of Walt from Breaking Bad in a way. Some nobody, that has finally snapped and went with it. Grabbed life by the balls, he's so schmucky, but also cold blooded and ruthless (I'd kinda describe the whole series like that, Shmucky and Hardcore). Like the seen where's he's about to put the hammer in his bro's gun safe, and he pauses and sees the family and you're like "Oh he IS kind, he's having second thoughts!" Nope. Just thought of another way to fuck his brother's entire family. That was clever writing.
His brother, again doesn't deserve to be framed, but he was kind of a dick. And you get the impressions he's been a dick to Lester his whole life.
The clincher was episode 7, which i just watch, when he's screwing Sam Hess's widow, looking at his dumb cowboy picture. Sam Hess, the big bully, alpha male with all the money, that "hot" wife, and he's beat him, sorta.
He is ultimately just an awful person, or has become one, but good god, he pretty much sucked before. Talk about the non-definition of a man. At least he's getting his balls back. "How bout we have one more drink and then get to those greasy hands" haha Lester? is that you? Aw, Heck!
