I love this show! It's funny and sincere. Dirk is an awesome artist and Ruckus is hysterical! I hope A&E brings it back. When is Google Play going to get season 1. Netflix has season 1 but not season 2 you have season 2 but not season 1, why? I have purchased this season hoping that you would get the 1st one soon. Please get season 1, I would love to have both!
