Not sure I've ever watched a show get this much better as it goes on. Also I don't think I ever knew that Jennifer Anniston can really act. Glad I stuck around for season 2. So good.
"It's your life, you will know what you do with it." "We are what we do"
Goddamn. That was such a good episode. The writing of this season has been exceptionally good.
Amazing episode with such a captivating story. I was glued to the screen from start to finish. Jennifer Aniston delivers an amazing acting performance and the rest of the cast shines too.
The actress who plays Lauren, also played a doctor on that new show about the Ebola! Feel like they made a little nod to that.
This is like anti Succession
This season has picked up fast the past few episodes. Really enjoying it now. Great acting and writing all around. I will admit I was skeptical the first couple episodes. I’m all in now.
Pretty sure they pushed the limits in the last 10 minutes, if not jumping the shark directly. The Mitch storyline is still the best and the strongest (in the whole season as well), that hit as it should. But Bradley saving Alex out of nowhere: for one, they really should have more scenes together instead of working together but never actually meeting eachother for more than 5 minutes in the entire season, and for two, Bradley is usually so all over the place that seeing her being a professional was wild. I had a hunch Alex brought covid with her from Italy, but the way she hit her head made me laugh, it felt so surreal.
I still have no idea how they are going to close this season, maybe they blow up every storyline all at once (there are too many loose ends that aren't actually loose ends just moments that are just there and probably don't lead anywhere), maybe they just silently let everything fall down, I don't know, I just want to see it. Also not nearly enough Cory this season, why?
Covid finally arrives. For a moment I saw someone with a mask in the studio and forgot what was happening.
So, Maggie's book is about to launch and Bradley puts her on the stand about the creative decisions she made while writing it. What's ostensibly a book about the overall misconduct of a TV station has become a reckoning, listing all of Alex's bad decisions including sleeping with Mitch.
Oh, I liked this interview - and the whole problem sort of continues plotthreads that were laid out in previous episodes. So, Alex is a consenting adult, she slept with Mitch... how exactly do his actions with other women reflect badly on her? Does her sleeping with Mitch justify being cancelled as well? Granted, she on some level know what happened at TMS, but how does her sleeping with Mitch really change anything? It makes the situation more complex, I'll grant you that, but does it actually change anything about Alex's decision to speak out? Does her appearing at Mitch's memorial change anything?
Bradley meanwhile drives her brother up to rehab, and denies Hal's plans for after treatment. Of course, he reacts by not going into rehab after all, vanishing from the earth... which in turn has Bradley endlessly worrying. It's hard to cut the ties - but it's important to realize that an addict going to rehab for anything other than his or her own decision doesn't work. As hard as it may be for loved ones. At some point, if there's not other way, it's necessary to cut the ties.
Overall, covid's looming ever closer, Alex's just returned from Italy without quaranteening herself... and of course, she tests positive (which would mean that Mitch and/or Paola were positive as well since she didn't have any contact with anyone else).
What a wonderful episode. The dialogue before Harry entered the hotel room made my eyes become wet, and persons like Alex make me sick.
Großartig!
