Hmm, I somehow missed the suicide attempt discussion in the episode.

And they keep changing the damn app UX. Strangely they pair their relatively strong discovery section with an entire experience mostly designed for you to his shuffle and not look back.

I think you have a very narrow idea of what molestation can include.

Same

The most "obvious" answer is that the girls were swimming and are in the fissure. The only episode to show the search in that area didn't seem like they definitively ruled that out. Rather that the locked car and handprint were enough to assume other scenarios instead of the obvious one.

That was such a well portrayed breakup. It's the kind where it could easily be started up again, or completely left alone.

Where is it? Where is the final Masters of None review?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

We're over a day late at this point.

Oh wow, I didn't remember the deflected hug with Jill. I do like that it could be read that way, or that it just emphasized that those two were not going to be close moving forward.

And we all deserve better than to sit through a whole arc of characters with amnesia or whatever just for them to avoid the issue.

I hope they don't come back. That would bring the main story too close to having the ability to answer big questions, which seems to be the opposite agenda here.

It seemed clear that it was something they made up in just the scene before Tommy does his story about getting the gift. They needed to give the people something else to believe in, and boom, Holy Tommy is born.

Nora has the wife, Mary, with her.

He never explained how he could be a guide. And we don't know what he did process wise to help platform guy. It's properly left open ended.

What I find interesting is that nobody, reviewer included, is talking about the dangling threat of John identifying the handprint and going on a rage while Kevin is unable to protect anybody (while dead for presumably three days).

Which I agree with. Again, I don't believe that Virgil is molesting Micheal. But I DO believe the show presents it as plausible, explicitly. And if we were to consider even more possible outcomes as viewers, the show would have given something within the show for us to base that on. All they have given us is

I believe the Evie situation was played up more that the circumstances of her birth were possible second departure factors. Having inbreeding or sibling parents being the source of a premature birth is a strange backstory that would make a mess of the entire Murphy family dynamic for what reason? Erika already blames

Gale was just making it clear that abuse victims often have a bond with their abuser. Just because Micheal is older and physically capable doesn't mean he couldn't still be in an abusive situation. Most of the time, abuse victims aren't necessarily aware that what is happening is bad, or they've convinced themselves

That's the point. Patti doesn't need to prove he's a pedophile. She only needs to suggest it enough that it could be plausible. Doubt is the strongest emotion this season. The writers add doubt to everything they can.

I'm with you on that. Speaking for myself, I don't understand why somewhat would stick with a show for a season and a half and then bounce on it then. Outside of quality issues of course. That's just a long time to stick with something and not see it through if you've felt iffy the entire time.
