I've written some sincerely sarcastic reviews of various episodes, this season-and while i still stand by them, this episode was straight up great. These are the kind of plot lines which drew me into the first 10 episodes. Started to get a little thin during eps 11-18, but the first season ended strong.
The performances in this episode, were top notch
Because I'm coming to this late, I know Max and family survive. Still, season one has kept me interested in how season two manifests itself.
I've said all along, this show skews to the overdramatic when the storylines focus too much on the extras, as compared to the actual cast. Sometimes, it tackles too many variants. There's a lot of cheesy dialogue. It can be sappy and unrealistic, and yet I genuinely enjoy the issues they try to address. Let's see if I'm feeling the same at the end of season two.
As a Canadian with socialized health-care, you can tell this was written in a time of Trump-and a GOP Senate. There's a lot of frank disclosure regarding some uncomfortable health-care facts. Some might accuse the show of pushing an agenda, and we can refer to those people, as complete idiots.
Health care should be an enshrined right.
On to season two.
