2x02 It’s Like the Flu

Wtf was that café scene?! Does this show have any female writers?
Also, the two female lead characters fighting each other is just annoying. I had to turn the volume down during their hallway scene. Too much screeching.

Steve Carell's storyline continues to be the show's weakest element for me, but this time not for his acting (yet) rather than the writing; that public rant scene is just so shallow and loud a "cancel culture" take it's so embarrassing to watch. On the other hand, the soapy ramping up of Bradley vs/and Alex is going along nicely, and I'm curious as the show's heading right towards there at episode's end how they're gonna incorporate the COVID into these various stories.

"Well, watching a disease spread isn't exactly exciting TV." I see what you did there! But they also going to need to bring back Mark Duplass more properly to balance out Bily Crudup because he steals every scene he's in, and Alex and Bradly are just warming up so they are not enough to do that just yet. Other than that, it's a step up from the premiere, still on the path of being a slow burner like last season. Give it a few more episodes and there's a good chance it's going to blow up.

Quite entertaining to be honest.

Well it was better than the season opener, but not by much.
Will Steve Carell be brought back from exile to join the reassembled team? He moaping around in Italy, so I think that's a given.

That was fire and intense at the same time the confrontation between the two lead actresses.

And do they kill another member of the show because of the covid 19? I think so.

What's happening in this episode? Did Reese Witherspoon forget how to act or something? Her performance was so cringe.

Brilliant episode and a step up from the premiere last week. It‘s just so entertaining to see Alex and Bradley together again.
