Hung

This week's Hung saw Jemma (Ray's new client from last week) and him going to couples' therapy without Tanya's permission even though he got paid quite a lot to do so. At therapy things are a little weird as they are not even in fact a couple. Tanya confronts Jemma about her having to go through her and not her ho but Jemma is adamant that she is comfortable paying Ray up front for it all. Jess feels she deserves to know Ronnie's real financial situation but he's not talking and Ray wins a game with Jemma's help being there and makes out with her out of passion, what a night.

Before watching this 6th episode the only thing I wished for was Natalie Zea to come back as Jemma. I was glad the writers granted it because her performance was as joyful and weird as in the previous episode. However the scenes she shared with Ray weren't as funny but her chemistry with Thomas Jane was excellent. Of course the story focused on their growing controversial relationship because you can't really expect things to happen smoothly when a man is paid to go out with a woman. Moreover there's something quite disturbing about her because we still don't really know what she's up to. Lenore would have been perfect for a slap bet but at least she didn't hide who she was.



As for Tanya she tried her best to be a good pimp but considering her lack of confidence and charisma it wasn't easy. I wonder what the writers plan for her because it would be great if she became a powerful woman and succeeded. It's what happened to Deborah Morgan in Dexter and I found that quite inspiring. Of course watching people fail is entertaining but it's far much more interesting when they learn from their mistakes, get help and finally solve their issues. I want the Tanya flower to blossom !



The mother and the kids were also featured and unexpected relationships and encounters occurred. Her financial crisis also developed further and it should help Ray's family to better understand what he's going through. However I missed Floyd and the neighbors and really hope they'll be featured in the upcoming episode. Damn short format. But it doesn't really matter as it allowed the writers to focus on Ray and Jemma. Their relationship is quite intriguing and the episode ended on some inspiring musical notes. It was important because even if I enjoyed it I have to admit that half of the episode was slightly disappointing. Watching Hung I expect to feel extreme emotions, from laughing out loud because of the awkward situations to crying like a little puppy, but it didn't really happen. Don't get me wrong this 6th installment was still good entertainment and as written we still learned a lot from its characters.
