Graceland: Worth Binge-Watching

WARNING: May Contain Spoilers

Graceland (2013)

USA Network’s show, Graceland, returns for its third season next week! If you’re not caught up or haven’t started this show I suggest you start binge-watching now – I believe in you – 25 episodes in 7 days is nothing!

Right now both Season 1 and 2 are on Netflix and Season 2 is streaming on USA. If you’re still on Season 1 – keep going! I agree, it was a little slow and didn’t get into its rhythm until about halfway through, BUT Season 2 was quite a doozy. Stop reading if you’re not caught up and see what’s in store for our agents in this Season 3 promo.

I need to know! Is Mike (Aaron Tveit) really dead? He hasn’t appeared in any of the Season 3 promos and we see Briggs and Mike’s possible murderer in a cemetery, but nothing is as it ever seems in the TV world. Maybe he “dies” and then goes into witness protection? Ghost Mike…eh, that’s not really this show’s style. Maybe Mike wasn’t really Mike and wore one of those Mission Impossible masks – which is always confusing. There has to be twist!

Yes, Mike did some super shady things last season, but the rest of the house is FAR from perfect. Paige (Serinda Swan) set Mike up, so if he is dead, she basically killed him – thanks a lot. She better not be able to stay in the awesome beachfront home … and tbh, wouldn’t you feel a little awkward? Maybe take it upon yourself to leave? Start with this conversation: “Hey, sorry it’s totes my fault that dude just suffocated Mike (or did he) and I just feel like I should leave. Peace out girl scouts.”

And Briggs (Daniel Sunjata)? Well that tape of him killing Juan Badillo – who was pretending to be Jangles – comes back into Briggs’ life. I think Badillo should’ve thought his plan through – don’t go up to a drunk, trained agent, who you know has a personal vendetta against Jangles (because he tortured Briggs, killed his friends, and the love of his life) and think he won’t fight back – especially when you have a gun. Come on Badillo – now your poor plan and Briggs’ poor cover-up won’t go away. Oh, and Briggs and Charlie have a baby on the way. I think Graceland is a great environment for a baby, don’t you? I’m curious to see how they work this one in – or maybe they just delay the arrival of the baby for another season.

This show really hit its stride in Season 2 and I hope it continues to do so in this upcoming season. My request for Season 3 is more Johnny (Manny Montana). They started to develop his character in Season 2 and he became my favorite – he’s more than just the funny man – Johnny is becoming a really deep character and I want to know more about him, please and thank you, writers of Graceland.

Catch the premiere of Season 3 Thursday, June 25 on USA Network at 10/9c. Binge-watch season 2 on USA Network or Netflix right now or just re-watch, which I plan to do!
