Phony is a lot of dark, but with a wry, smirky vibe at the same time. It seems very aimed at Gen Z in that regard. Jimmy's theory might be correct, but the mystery is woven tight so far. We're really enjoying it.

Sam looks more like his mom. Patrick Schwarzenegger more like his dad.

What happened to greeting Guillermo when one comes out? It's simply basic courtesy. Those who don't demonstrate a certain lack of personal substance. 👎🏻👎🏻
