Didn’t care for the direction this episode took. I enjoyed episode one, but ep two seemed to sacrifice the reality of the situation for quirky humor.
Will keep watching for a few more episodes to see if it picks back up or continues the downhill trajectory.
This episode reminded me of the Will Forte show, "The Last Man on Earth". Now that was a comedy, but I don't see the humor from this episode as a bad thing.
The guy from Spain (?) who requested Air Force One is exactly the kind of guy I wanted to see. The world is his now, he can do anything he wants. Like Carol he doesn't have any friends or family to keep him grounded, but he does have the entire world asking him what he wants. So what does he want? To enjoy life! Flying around on a one of kind aircraft, a harem of women, fancy meals, etc. He is the opposite of Carol.
Carol on the other hand is looking at the reality of the situation. The line about not asking a drug dealer how their heroin high is was perfect. Asking the young boy about how he would examine a patient, perfect. Carol is viewed as unhinged, but she's absolutely right. I think if she could have kept herself relaxed the mother of that child would have been able to see that, eventually.
And of course to top all this off, Carol is in the right, right?
This is an interesting point. Wouldn't Carol have family members they could bring out to try and keep her grounded? Parents? Siblings? Closer friends?
Not if she's been an ostracized alcoholic novelist for years!
