Yes, I'm now rooting for Michael to go to prison, unbelievably enough—it would be enough to stop the wedding/put a hitch in the romance and cause more of the relationship-rich drama the show does best!

I agree—I would rather have gotten some exploration of where Michael's car-stealing teen years and his relationship with his brother—which I think done right could have made him into a very compelling and sympathetic character—than this suddenly perfect boyfriend we have now.

I don't think they'll kill Michael, but I think a coma poses the same problem—it removes the character from meaningful action.

Yeah, I think it would work better for the show to have a telenovela twist that would genuinely throw a wrench into the Jane/Michael romance but keep him around as a character—something like him being secretly already married.

But that interpretation also implies that he would stop loving Jane once he woke up, which seems even less plausible.

I agree, but I think a lot of that is the stability of the Jane/Michael romance, and the way it has reduced time spent on the other characters, so that the plots they do get (Rafael's accidental insider trading! Petra's secret twin!) seem less grounded in character.

I've actually seen the 1st Huntsman film and enjoyed Stewart's performance quite a bit. She was MUCH better than Hemsworth.

Seriously! They were better than any of the lines quoted in this comment section, and there were some great lines.

Actually Michael going to prison would work really well—it would keep him on the show, but create distance and conflict in a more realistic way (especially since Jane is raising Mateo and would need to think of his needs). I like it!

I agree that Petra is fantastic, but because of that I really wish that she would get more screen time.

Yes, we need more Luisa, Rafael, and Petra—and we need all of those characters to interact with Jane.

I love this show, but I have to agree that the bachelor(ette) parties were one of their weaker story engines—there wasn't enough tension in the Michael v. Rogelio story, which was a waste of Jaime Camil. As for the rest, it convinced me watching drunk people on TV is just as boring as watching drunk people in real

Great review—I especially agree with the bullet points about the comic office scene-dressing, which was so impressive, and Marcus's unexpected beat.

"You've got me, who's got you?" is a line from the Superman movie—what Lois Lane says to Superman when he catches her in mid-air.

I love Marcus and all the Jon Michael Hill does to make him a fuller character than he would otherwise be, and that line about not showing the tailor anything graphic was fantastic—one of those classic Elementary touches where the show remembers that ordinary, unimportant people are real human beings.

That Frasier line made me LOL twice. The delivery on it was amazing!

And the skittering sound effect! A+

Yeah, I absolutely loved that everyone was basically in the same plot here, with the only divide being between Rosa & Adrian's halves of it. It worked much better than the usual splits, and made the tonal shifts more meaningful.

Yes! I love Iris (and the actress, who spins straw dialogue to gold as often as she can) and cannot stand the hate she gets online.

Beharie’s a critical element of the series. Tom Mison is a fine actor, but without the two of them together, what’s the damn point?
