I loved Deran and Adrian together. The actors had great chemistry. I predict a new boyfriend of color to be woke.

This is the rumored love interest for Deran and he is hot!

Oh please no, R1.
That would be awful.
The Codys are white trash SoCal criminals.
Adrian was the perfect boyfriend for Deran.
In no universe, would Deran be with a black guy. Maybe a Mexican guy.
But he and Adrian are/were a perfect match.
They have history, which is the only way a criminal will be in a relationship. If they knew you since... forever.
Now THAT is true to life.
Pairing Deran with a stranger would be so fucking FALSE.

YES, R2.
I can see Deran with that guy.
But he looks like he would be a pain in the ass.
Part of why Deran was drawn to Adrian, is because he was very passive. He didn't "rock the boat."
The guy in your link looks like he would go toe-to-toe with Deran, and he's just as gangster.
I predict lots of domestic violence! Rofl.

It was the Cody boys vs. the gang whose father was killed by Smurf, it was a brutal shoot out at the house, like completely destroying the set. And then young mom Smurf grifting with her kids, showing the roots of Andrew’s sociopathic behavior and what I think was hinted possible autism. Definitely starting out with a bang.

Wow. Sound like you did watch the early version.
So the "gang whose father was killed by Smurf" were actually cousins to Pope.
The father killed by Smurf, was Pope's Uncle. Brother to Pope's father.
Smurf tried to steal his gold.
In a shootout, Smurf killed the father, but not Pope's cousins. I'm guessing that they might join the Cody crime family this season.
Did they make amends? I'm assuming so, for the sake of the story.

One of the EP's was also Adrian's sister.
Spencer Treat Clark's sister is Eliza Clark, who is an EP on the show.
Which makes it surprising to me that he was written off the show. Although she might be the reason why the didn't kill him off completely.

I can’t believe sneaky grifter goddess Smurf is dead. I keep wishing Ellen Barkin makes good with the AK writers so she can come back. Maybe she and J faked her death to get him deeper inside the dynamics of the family. Far fetched I know but damn she was killer on the show. No one does evil bitch like Ellen! Deran is hot but knowing REVA is his real life mom ruins it for some weird reason.

As much as the fans like Ellen Barkin, she really wasn't popular with the people who made the show.
My understanding is that they hated her.
She was bitchy, mean, demanding, and uncooperative. They got fed up and fired her.

Did you watch season one, R130?
I think those sex scenes with Adrian and the black guy, were way more graphic. And by graphic, I mean HOT.
I didn't really care much for these two guys. Too nellie, and they came on way too strong. I don't like people like that in real life, so these two really turned me off.

So what's the deal with Pam and Smurf?
Are they in a lesbian relationship, or what?
I can't tell if the actresses are acting like lovers on purpose, or if it's just by accident. But they seem like lovers.
Come to think of it, Smurf has never had a boyfriend on the show. So maybe she WAS a lesbian.

I’m wondering if we are leading up to Smurf and Pope incest situation in the past at some point, him curling up on the bed of ashes seemed to be alluding to it. Smurf must have banged hot teen aged Baz right? I’m kind of hoping the show progresses to the point where we see the teenage sons and Julia as part of the flashback storyline.

The one year break that the writers, producers and actors took (due to Covid) really did the show some good.

I do like how her boys being involved in extreme sports primed them for their exuberant crime raids. I almost imagine them being incredulous as kids that she was supportive of those activities, meanwhile it was all part of her plan and a form of grooming them (for risk taking and adrenaline rush) to have the skills to do what she needed them to take on.

There has GOT to be some drama with Spencer Treat Clark and his sister Eliza Clark, on the show.
So Spencer was written out (not off) of the show at the end of last season.
Previously, Eliza Clark had Animal Kingdom prominently displayed in the credits section of her Wiki Page.
I just went to go check it out today, and it's ALL GONE. She (or someone) has removed all references of her work on Animal Kingdom. And she was an Executive Producer on the show for FOUR SEASONS!
WTF happened? Something must have gone down, if both she and Spencer exited the show at the same time.

So when he withheld the documents from the lady and her son, it was his security to make sure she signed Smurf's estate back over to the Cody's.

Not only that, but she makes no mention of Animal Kingdom on her Wikipedia resume, which is strange, since she was an Executive Producer for the show from the very first season.
Everybody seems tight-lipped about it, but was she fired? Or were both she and her brother fired? Or did they both quit???

My random thoughts : J is playing the long con on them for what they did to his mum. He knows Baz was his bio dad but Smurfs manipulation of all her kids created such jealousy and hatred and she sexualized herself to her sons, Pope was most effected by it all but Julia (his twin/Js dead mum) tried to help him only pissing Smurf off since she wanted to be the only one to control Pope so she let the many men in her whore life RAPE Julia hence getting her hooked on heroin and eventually dying. again theory but J is the key to the ending of the show making the story arc fall back to the beginning season first show. Deran needs to start banging as many hot guys as he can to rid himself of his true love , Adrian. Side note : weird casting for J since he’s so much shorter and not hot(that mole on his head is a bullseye so I’m so focused on it when it’s his scenes) I wish they found someone more in line with the uncles.

Finn isn't ugly.

I've been saying that for the longest time. Finn isn't hot!!!
He looks like a dwarf, compared to his uncles. Yet he tries to be some big boss. It just looks silly.
J was only hot in season one. After that, it was all downhill.

I don't find him hot, he looks even shorter when standing next to his very tall brothers...doesn't help.

You're right, R258 that actor is hot!
But can you remind me who Billy is, again?
I've been watching this show from the beginning, and I don't remember anyone named Billy.

Did Daren take over Smurf's bedroom?

I remember now.
Billy is Denis Leary's character.
I was wondering why they showed him in the episode intro.

Animal Kingdom has always been good, but this season in particular deserves an Emmy Award for both acting and writing.
Everything these guys are going through this season, is so true to life.
The fractured family, the lack of direction for the boys now that Smurf isn't there to lead them, all the problems they're having now that the community knows that Smurf is gone. It's all REAL.
And the acting is superb. Specifically, Shawn Hatosy.
The others are good too, but he is outstanding. I love Leila George, too. She's doing a great job.
I have not been bored by even one episode yet this season.

The guy who played young Billy is Anthony Konechny, and he's very hot.

The guy who plays Deran's bartender "Tommy" (Cody Callahan) needs a bigger part on this show.
He is SO hot.

Was surprised to see Trent Garrett. Would love to see him and Deran fuck

Who is he, R271?

Is the guy at R272 the bar owner who paid Deran a visit to retrieve the purloined liquor? I wondered how long it would take for them to hookup as soon as I saw him.

^I meant the guy at R271.

Yes, R273/R274.
I wouldn't want to see him hook up with Deran. He looks really sleazy.
And Deran hates the name of his bar, "Sun of a Beach." Rofl

It also needs to be said that Anthony Konechny really embodied Billy, even in that short amount of screen time. I could tell who he was even before he introduced himself.

Well, they did show a clip of Billy in the “previously” montage, so it was a fairly good bet he’d show up.

I am late to the party and just started watching season one…Ellen Barkin is terrific in her role and the boys are all dirty sexy….Scott Speedman aged well and is even hotter than he was on Felicity…. you can just feel the unapologetic nature of this twisted family and from reading the comments, it is going to be a good journey catching up…introducing Deran’s sexuality via a beach bathroom stall fit perfectly with the grittiness….Pope is a scary dude…

We have moved on to part 2 because someone got this thread paywalled.

I'm three episodes behind, but this is one of the few shows where the flashback scenes are more compelling than the current scenes. I love young Smurf. She's captivating.
