Like for example

Spoiler:

one of the guys literally beats his pregnant girlfriend to death on the streets with his bare fists.

I was so happy that guy got killed later.

There's a lot of dark episodes, because it has realistic violence and themes and not just cartoony movie style gangster violence.

Joey Pants said women started hitting on him like crazy after that episode aired. Weird.

I hated that episode when I first saw it. When I did another rewatch like 4 years ago, it was still very disturbing but the writing on that one is so brilliant.

And yes, seeing him die later was great. There are a ton of really satisfying deaths. My wife jumped out of her chair like it was the Super Bowl when Janice shot Richie at the end of season 2 lmao

I hate that one!
