However, I did love that scene when he's checking into the hotel and the lobby is filled with people who literally look like models (i.e., shirtless, posing and staring into the distance).  Like his child agent, it was another subtle example of realizing a metaphorical cliche.

"
But it may have been one that I’ve liked with the fewest caveats."  That's a great way to articulate it.

This was a pretty boring, listless episode for me.  He retreaded the same ground as last week and last season (or the season before).  Louis is afraid of being mistaken for a homosexual (like last week), but he wants to see more of his new male friend (like in his old stand-up).  Then it climaxed in both he and Ramon

I have my own minor quibble with this review.  It says Leo "all but forces" and "all but bullies" Louie into reciprocating.  But she does both of those things and more.  It isn't "all but," it's practically a rape.  She throws a fit, repeatedly calls him gay, shatters a window with his head, crawls on top of him to
