I can't imagine that this won't deal a (well-deserved, in my mind) death blow to the show. Soloway has a talent for creating characters who are so profoundly unpleasant that I found the show utterly unwatchable. Tambor (of whom I remain a fan) was the least objectionable, and his loss should be palpable.
