Donald Glover loves two things....not wearing a shirt and wearing teeny tiny shorts. Got both of them in this episode. I like anything Donglover is a part of, but I am really enjoying this. It is a fun ride and can't wait to see where it goes as their relationship develops and they find out more about this mysterious place they work for.

I really loved this much more than I thought I would. I think the actors were great and had just amazing chemistry. I hated seeing their happiness cut short when it took them so long to get there. The first part was brutal to watch. Dex sure uses alcohol to hand pain and loss, eh? I did love seeing Dex's memories of the Christmas weekend when he was at his dad's. And his dad reminding him that he has to find a way to continue living...just as he had to do 10 years ago. The middle year was lovely and awkward to see all those who love Em come together to be with Dex on the anniversary. I gotta say, I'd watch a whole series just about Tilly. I absolutely adore. She's such a great friend to both Em and Dex as the years go on. Her hugging Dex and just remarking that she's gonna keep hugging him. ❤️ Ian continues to be hilariously awkward. I adored that backyard conversation. It's clear how much they both loved Em. I'm also glad he found love and happiness. Dex and Sylvie also found harmony and peace. And humor. And healthy co-parenting. Love that for them. The final year of the series was poignant and sweet. Seeing Dex still so in love with Em and overwhelmed with sadness, but finding his way. Returning to their stomping grounds with his dad and Jazz was wonderful. I also loved seeing bits of their first meeting that we didn't see in episode one. That was such an interesting choice holding that back from the audience and giving it to them at the very end.

It's about time you two. I was sad to see Emma still thinking that Dexter saw her as a backup and not as the absolute love of his life. I got so frustrated that he started to explain it and got interrupted by the very French Jean Pierre. Loved the image of Emma watching him shower again and this time it being totally different. This time, it is him wanting her and her not sure if she wants a relationship. Glad she came back and they stopped pretending with one another.

I did enjoy the change up from episode 3 when Dex comes to visit Em while she is working food service and this time it is Em coming to visit Dex while he's making coffee and serving the masses. She should have tipped him. I was so anxious as Dex kept drinking while watching Jazz. I was so worried something was going to happen to her under his drunken watch. Glad that wasn't in the cards. And it was obvious from the second Sylvie answered the phone that she was having an affair. I wanted to hate her for it, but I don't think she ever truly got Dex anyways...his heart has always belonged to Emma as his true partner in life. Callum though. Fuck you dude.

I know it seems like Dex holds the power in their "will they won't they" friendship, but Emma also throws out some brutal lines. Dex: So what happened to it, this crush? Emma: I got to know you and then....poof...cured. That's brutal. And what else I have noticed in the episodes through this one. Dex is the one who looks longingly at Emma. He is the one who consistently pushes boundaries and Emma is the one who holds them to friendship only. She is smitten with him...clearly, but she's the one who won't let it happen. I think Emma always knew that if they became friends with the benefits that it would never last. She'd just be left with all the other hookups that Dex is notoriously known for. But a friend...a true friend and he could be hers.

I'm on a re-watch and I can't stop laughing at Dex calling on the phone shaped like a hamburger. As a child of the 80s, I remember being so jealous of my friend who had a phone shaped like a football. I desperately wanted to be that cool.

Agree. That fight was needed to bring a lot of unspoken things to the surface. I've watched a couple YouTube clips of Leo and Ambika promoting the series and Ambika has said this episode and the fight was what she was most nervous about filming because it was going to be hard to get through and was so important for both of their characters.

At this point, I think it is clear that Emma is way too good for Dex. I think it is also clear that his use and abuse of drugs and behavior is trauma behavior from losing his mother. I think Emma knows this and that's why she hangs on as long as she does. This episode was so uncomfortable to watch. And that is purposeful. You see their friendship and connection dying right there on the screen. And neither wants it, nor can stop it from happening. I also thought to myself like two or three times before she finally does leave the restaurant that I would have noped so hard out of there. The way he ignored her, cut her off mid-sentence, grossly treated staff and the constant leaving the table. Dex would have come back to a empty table if he was having dinner with me.

I do like a good "who done it" and trying to figure out who I think the killer is and why and then to see if I am right. I don't have any guesses yet, but some characters are definitely in the running. Would I be watching this without Mandy Patinkin? It probably wouldn't make the cut, so far I am enjoying the mystery adventure.

I think I must watch much more explicit or shocking shows than all y'all. I didn't think the nudity or sex scene was gratuitous or jarring. Seemed pretty vanilla to me. I only started watching this and will probably keeping watching this because of my decades long love of Mandy Patinkin.

I have never understood when people kept saying Paolo was so sexy. And every time they said he looked like George Clooney I laughed out loud. Maybe, if I am being generous, he's a Wish version Clooney. I guess it is true that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. To me, Ramirez has more charm and sexiness in his pinky than Paolo will ever have.

Also, one more comment about Michael's slimeball of a lawyer. He seemed so much more like he was Kristine's lawyer. Spinning Kristine's dolling up Natalia as an innocent bonding between mother and child. Basically calling a 8 year old child a dirty, dirty whore. Saying that whenever Natalia goes, chaos follows as a way to blame her for bringing on her own abuse. You'd think as Michael's attorney he would turn his attention to attacking Kristine and the abuse she inflicted on Michael and Natalia. But nah, he has little to no interest in that. Interesting choice when Michael keeps saying they both have the same monster, but Michael's attorney keeps emphasizing the monster in Natalia. Also, I found on a reddit thread that he was suspended for 6 months in 2014 and also disciplined in 2007 for misconduct. So he seems like the best and most awesome attorney ever.

I think it is 100% about money. Money Natalia was paid to be part of the documentary. Money from the gofundme they set up for Natalia. They want that money. Grifters gonna grift.

Natalia is a better person that I would be if I was her. The grace and forgiveness she has shown to Michael is not somethign I think I could do. I wonder if her feelings changed once she will have watched the episodes. And how he is still manipulating and lying to discount his part in what happened to her. How his lawyer was painting Natalia as the problem over and over again. That she was violent. That she was overly sexual. That she was manipulative. Michael's lawyer works for him, so he is working on his behalf. I hope Natalia continue to find peace and the answers she seeks.

I'd say this didn't age well, but it was just posted a couple weeks ago. She was a child. She was abused and victimized. It is Kristine and Michael who are evil and manipulative. They deserve jail cells. I hope that karma visits them and soon.

Luke Kirby was absolutely mesmerizing in this final episode. That monologue while he was on the panel was nothing short of spectacular. Well done sir. I have such respect for whistelblowers. They know that standing up against the powers that be will most likely mean severe negative consequences for them in the slight chance that the light they shine will change anything. I often ask myself why Paolo would continue to do surgery after surgery when he knew they would not work. And why he would even consider a relationship with Betina who had investigative journalists in her back pocket. But I don't have the hubris and ego of these evil monsters. Having people think you can do something that no one else can do...to be regarded as a God. And he is long gone by the time everything rots and dies. And completing the con on Betina was a cherry on top. If he could run his romance scam on her (which he was doing with countless women...those love bombs videos he sent, he often did not use their names so he could send them to multiple women) then he could run this scam on anyone. I hope karma pays Paolo a visit and it shows him the same compassion he showed his patients.

Paolo butchers Yesim and then vanishes...leaving Nate to deal with the carnage. That is of course by Paolo's design. All the glory, none of the consequences or responsibility.

Paolo was a master manipulator, in all aspects of his life. He sprinkles just enough truth on top of his pile of lies that he kept people in the dark. He also dangled what he knew people wanted. Benita wanted this perfect romance with a famous fancy doctor. The hospital wanted the prestige and the money that would follow. He kept everyone on the take. Watching the patient in so much pain while Paolo just couldn't give a damn was so hard to watch. I do find it interesting in the dramatized version that they are having Benita figure things out and get into investigator mode much earlier than she did IRL. Maybe that's a kindness in the retelling of the story.

I've followed this story for a long time. Paolo got away with so much destruction and mayhem. The idea that he could do what he did and that none of those supposed checks and balances worked is terrifying. I think the cast is great. I will say that I still do see the mom in This Is Us when I see Mandy Moore and Lenny Bruce when I see Luke Kirby. Those characters were so iconic that my brain is not letting go of them.

I really gotta find out before starting to watch a series or movie if it originated from wattpad. This was dreadful from beginning to end.

Interesting choice to make Mickey's caregiver a newly created aunt instead of Myron like it was in the book. I'm okay with Ema not being fat like she was in the book. Not for the reason you'd think. Coben has a major disdain for fatness. He likes to point out when women are fat and just how disgusting it is, over and over again. So glad we don't have to have that angle in the TV version. I also think it is interesting change to have Mickey be biracial instead of white. It adds an extra dynamic when it comes to his conflict and the way the police treat him. I didn't really love the book, but I'll keep with the series...at least for a little while.

I really really love this show. I started binge watching it last week when it dropped and ended up stopping after Episode 5 to come back to it when I wasn't such a distracted watcher. I just watched episode 6. What a hard, but amazing episode to slug though. And what a great cast. So many amazing people coming together to show this chaotic dysfunctional family. Jamie Lee Curtis. She's such a force. Win all the awards. Now on to binge my way through to the end.

I just assumed that Danny's mom thought he had an imaginary friend and was playing along.

I am often a nostalgic tv watcher, so even when I think this show is bad (and often I do), I'll still tune in. As for Charlotte's storyline, she probably would have had a lot more success having her lawyer husband send a legal notice that their child is not of legal age and therefore not able to engage in selling the items so the sale is null and void...and that the items need to be returned. But I get that they wanted Charlotte to almost be a Karen and then realize that the items aren't the things she valued. So fine. Oliver Hudson. Well hello. I've been a fan all the way to Dawson's Creek to Splitting Up Together and then to The Cleaning Lady. I hope we see him again. I'd also like to see him interact with Che. I have seen a good number of people transition from married to just really good friends. I do hate the relationship of Miranda and Che, but because like many others, it doesn't feel like Miranda. She feels lost in all this and her not in NY with the others feels like a different show. All in all, the show is fine. Not great, not dreadful...it's just fine.

It is the unfortunately common police work of tunnel vision once a primary suspect is established. They look for evidence to support that theory and absolutely discount and dismiss anything that does not. Dan the affair partner was a slam dunk, so they were looking to make that case and not looking at anything else.
