Not horrible but really we are now only two for three on this show. Maybe it's a teething pain or they are getting the worst ones out of the way but this had none of the magic of the Big Mouth which the first two episodes were able to capture.
Too much of the episode goes to revisiting this character from the first episode. The problem with this plot is that it has no substance; it nothing more than a copy and paste of all the rhetoric of the problem with no name but with a perfunctory comedic timing. Motherhood sucks, especially when you're knew at it; I already knew that and beating me over the head with it is neither progressive, enlightening or funny. I'm actually kind of disappointed that there wasn't a bit more positivity about a new mother not loving her infant. Why would she love that thing? I want a child but I don't want an infant.
They try to zhuzh it up in the familiar ways; anthropomorphic nipples and a bland musical number really do nothing more than reek of desperation.
Regarding the shame wizard's subplot; it's not fun to watch because I don't care about him. We have three characters, two of witch have been established as villains and the third seems to be worst of all so I am not invested in anything they do.
Connie's struggle to take care of Maurie's phalluses was the strongest thing in the episode. It's nothing new but it was nice to see the female character struggle with childcare for once while the male character knows how to be responsible. It's more feminist than it sounds.
Give us more of logic Block. He is by far the best character in this show.
