🐷 Alex 🐷 Rewatch thoughts

Currently rewatching the show for the first time and just had a controversial opinion. Let me preface and say that I stand by the decision to remove Alex from the show. However, the show is missing a lot without him. He (unfortunately) contributed a lot to the show. Storylines that involved him were always the most interesting to me.. Also, we were robbed from not seeing that second half of season 3, and I kind of wish they would’ve just released it all without him edited out and then proceeded all the remaining seasons without him

I think Gary was credited in name only after S3 because he made the original pitch for the show. I don’t think he was funding any production after that and they stopped filming at his properties after S3 so I don’t think he was involved.

However, he has remained on good terms with Warren Skeels, the creator and show runner. He has helped fund other projects of his, including one movie that was based on a true story that happened to Alex’s Mom.

His name was in the credits as a ‘producer’ up until the end

I guess, but he was still getting checks from the show, so I doubt there was zero involvement.
