S02.E07: The Book Of Life

[formerlyfreedom]

On Yom Kippur, Sarah tries to make amends with Tammy; Maura tries to communicate with Davina; Josh tries to make peace with Raquel; Ali and Syd host a break-the-fast party.

I thought this episode righted the series after a few missteps (though I did enjoy Bulnerable too), however, it alternated between tedious (Sarah's endless self-centered foibles) and truly moving (Josh's regrets and Ali's prayer). I know I'm not supposed to like these characters but Sarah is just too much for me at this point: I dread every time she comes on screen. Same with their mom. (Whose name I'm spacing on.) Alternatively, I absolutely continue to adore Josh, even if he is as nearly deeply flawed as Sarah - at least there's still some humanity and vulnerability there. I give a lot of credit to Jay Duplass's performance: I think he is truly riveting.

In S02.E07 -- the most Jewish episode thus far -- the Pfeffermans try, and fail, to absolve themselves.

Sarah's my favorite. Maybe I just relate to people having a mental breakdown and life falling apart, but she doesn't bother me.

But the show is such a downer, and like others have said, we are watching people who have no jobs and drink a lot feel bad instead of the Transparent.
