Just like on the UK version of the show, writing for the significant other of the main female character is often a challenge, but you usually can't go wrong with someone not realizing they are experiencing a cult.

I said usually because this was one of those rare examples on TV where it just did not work out. The members of the cult were poorly cast and then it got to a very bizarre position where they somehow moved into the house due to a fine print clause of the contract.

There were a few moments that made me chuckle tonight, but I am really worried about a show that is not connecting at all in its second season.

If my husband ignored me, signed up with a cult behind my back, with everything else this couple goes through- divorce. The cult bumrushes my house, they'd never find any of them in the basement vault husband included. Contract right there, just tear it up. As a lawyer it is also ridiculously painful to watch the absolute ignorance this episode preys upon. I have loved every episode completely until this one. This one just made me hate Jay as a big cosplaying faker with zero respect for his partner and hate these writers for trying to get a laugh out of seriously dangerous groups. We don't use cult in America for groups or cooperatives or communes. We use it specifically for a dangerous type of group social manipulation that has led to horrific crimes in this country largely against women and children. We let it pass for Flower with the quiet thought whatever she was a part of died out decades ago. This was just like every single disturbing button I have one after another in the span of no time.

It wasn't just bad, I actively hated it. Nothing was funny, none of the characters were in character, it dramatically downplays the seriousness of cults. It spreads ignorance about just the most basic legal protections we're afforded in this country to not get invaded in our homes by psychopaths. I wouldn't need tons of money and six months to solve this, I'd need five minute call to the police bc the "contract" fails the statute of frauds, land law so old it predates America. It makes me hate these writers like they've never experienced a single real thing in their entire lives if they thought any of this would be remotely enjoyable.

Whoever gave this high marks, I just do not believe it. This episode is just triggering and grotesque and it's too many lame things one after the other to catch a break let alone a laugh. Debating even carrying on with this show now I know this is the kinda droll to look forward to. Which is really too bad, I liked iZombie until the end and I'm sad these writers failed so so hard in such a very short time frame.
