Dark & Not the Same Old Stuff
gensbill8 November 2019
Look, you have Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and the always excellent Aasif Mandvi, who can do it all, but is best as the sarcastic sidekick with nuance, along with Katja Herbers, an actress I've seen in at least 4 series, but still don't recognize. It's an excellent cast, with Christine Lahti included.

You have to love this episode for the the story of a "prophet" but also because it's brave enough to mention reeducation camps in China as well as countering the Epstein committed suicide story.

They even have an ICE agent who helps a detainee.

It's nice to see that good television can tell a worthwhile tale, be brave, and not become mired in the latest political fashion.

A bit of a lackluster episode to have waited two weeks for. Leland's part was the highlight.

Wild episode

A truly wild episode, so many things happened it's hard to piece it all together. Kirstin is a bad B though.

Worst Babysitter Ever!
bradley-g-lang14 February 2020
"Sorry Mom, but it's not working out."

That would be my response to Sheryl after buying the kids a possibly demonically possessed - but definitely requires adult supervision - toy two weeks ago. Then she dropped the ball on the babysitting by letting in a possibly demonically possessed little girl. And letting them run off to a graveyard in the dead of night. Way to go grandma.

Now she's willingly dating a guy her daughter - a psychiatrist - says is a psychopath. Not just a perjorative term, but an actual clinical psychopath. And even if he isn't, you don't send him upstairs to the girls' room unsupervised the first time they meet!

Sheryl's got to go. I hope Leland eats her soul.

Frustrating

Warning: Spoilers
Generally I've been fairly impressed with this show. It's not amazing, but pretty solid. However, this epsiode had a massive writing mishap.

When Leland shows up at Kristen's house the way the mother ignores her adult daughter's stark behavioural change in response to this man and cuts her off before she can get anything out like "He stole my therapy notes and used them to try and professionally discredit me" just doesn't ring true at all. It is bad, bad writing used to artifically drive easily avoidable conflict. At the very least, this being credible would require some sort of prior reference to Kristen not receiving her mother's romantic partners positively. Given the audio recording that is later disclosed to her, the agreement to meet and break up with Leland in person (which completely backfires due to the most overt hint that he's actually a demon yet) rather than simply never speak to him again is quite bizarre.
