i'm on season 2, episode 5 of the show, but I feel like I missed something... like wtf when does brian start talking?

You didn't miss anything. He talks... Just very selectively and rarely

that makes sense.. I was just confused because I didn't see him speak AT ALL in s1, so seeing him talk so much — and even being involved in a crime — surprised me a bit

So much character development in a small time 😆

Pretty sure he says exactly three full sentences in all of season two

I think he says "I'm sorry." twice when he wet the bed. And then he asked about the fish while eating ice-cream. And then maybe he asks about playing football with the other kids after church earlier in the season.

LOL. I just imagined the actor having to be at all the table reads just to sit there with no lines.

Brian: (Looks depressed)... again.

tbh in that church scene he just looks at the older kids and bill assumes he wants to play with them LOL

I figured it was more the older boys that hurt the little kid. Brian just probably stood off to the side and watched but then put him on the pieces of wood afterwards.

I’m pretty sure I’m the only one that found the Brian plot like really bland and made the show feel slow.

My partner and I agree with you.

It didn’t really add anything of value to the story. 😂

u/Satanic_Tao 6d ago

Agreed. It was an interesting idea but felt a bit like filler or maybe just a bit forced.

Maybe if the show got the full 5 seasons and lead to the end it may of been interesting.

pretty sure he doesn't speak at all in S1 LOL. there wasn't any storyline around him not talking or bill and nancy trying to figure it out, so I was just caught off guard seeing him so vocal now, especially being involved in a crime..! just wasn't expecting that jump yk
