The New Friend
studioAT22 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Without a doubt this is the best episode of 'Frasier' so far in its eighth series, displaying a bit of the verve and farcical elements that were common place during the so called 'glory' days of series one to seven.
It's the first time in a while that Roz features heavily, and when used correctly the character is a good partner in crime for Frasier.
There's some nice moments here, with the scene in the coffee place especially being a level of quality we haven't seen from the show in a long time.
I didn't rarely care for thin B plot involving Martin and Niles, and the increasing attempts to hide the real life pregnancy of Jane Leeves, but on the whole, this was a marked improvement on what has come thus far in the eighth year.
