Pairing Alex up with Paul Marks feels too soapy and too quick; I think his tense relationship with Stella is more interesting and potentially a richer source of storylines. Similarly, Chip's relationship with Alex's assistant is uninteresting but Bradley and Laura's feels worthy of the screentime.
I hope the rest of this season has a better balance between the internal politics / TV land machinations and the personal drama, the latter of which dominated this particular episode.
Rapidly devolving into a super meh soap opera.
Not the best writing in recent episodes but I'm still invested to see the outcome. I'm really curious who might side with Cory.
I liked this episode - or at least parts of it.
I felt Bradley's interview was a bit over the top. Honestly, she isn't protecting Hal, she's protecting herself, and has been from the beginning. That Laura gets Hal to protect Bradley as well... sorry, but I'd have prefered him going to the FBI.
Then there's Alex's interview with Marks. Which was good as well - but, who ever believed that he wouldn't figure out that the informant was Stella? And now he's offering her Cory's job as bribe? I hope she understands that offer for what it is - but judging from her expression she's just greedy enough to accept. As for Alex and Marks starting a relationship - obvious since episode 4. And Chip should get over his crush already.
Chasing the J6 narrative is just shameful, this illustrates exactly why the public doesn’t trust the media.
I expect more TV and less couple drama. Being naked on top of the bed and then getting under the covers to answer the cell phone call is not very logical.
Season 1 suggested that this show could have been something, could have meant something.
Season 2 said: “Nope, just kidding.”
This episode officially marks the descent in the bad soap opera category: which for some may be a plus, congratulations in that case.
Chip character’s regression is hurting, needlessly cruel, cringey, unwarranted, and it’s just an example.
Jennifer Aniston’s acting made me stay this long, but with this kind of writing and scripts not even she can make me continue watching. Goodbye. Good luck have fun to all who bravely remain.
Hated the ending with Chip
Unwanted drama. Lets put the focus elsewhere, please?

Unnecessary amount of drama. This Turing into a soap opera.
