I liked it. I cringed several times during the show whenever someone diss'ed someone else as I was waiting for a punch or a gun to be pulled (Phil L's homecoming, Tony S at the lake).
The whole Monopoly playing scene was great. I think we all have at least one story we can tell about a family game night with too much drinking going bad....maybe not this bad, but bad.
I said to my wife that I think this is foreboding and that Chase is deliberately opening the season with a reminder as to just how despicable these people are....maybe to soften the shock when one or more of them meets with a fateful end at the close of the series.
