Let me start by saying that I really enjoyed the first three episodes. It was interesting, fun to watch, held my attention, there was something going on. However, all that was missing from this third episode and I'm afraid that's the direction this show is heading at.

What was good about it was the fact that they showed both sides of the story. By cutting Steve Carrell out of this episode shows you that they had no intention of showing both sides but rather villainize the other.

I understand that the main goal of this show is to tackle all the cultural events happening in the past few years. But did they really have to include all of it in just 3-4 episodes? Metoo movement, protests, now abortion in this episode? What's next? Are we about to find out that Bradley Jackson is a transgender in the next one?

Also, this idea of this rogue tv host who's super crazy and will do anything its just lazy writing. It was fine once. But if it keeps happening two or three times per episode it's just gonna get boring.

And finally this scene where she interviews the "victim" and builds so much intensity and drama. I just didn't get it. I guess you're supposed to feel sorry for her? But her story made it perfectly clear that nobody forced her into anything and she really made her own decisions. Yet, this moment was supposed to be the one where we realize that Steve Carell's character is actually a horrible human being and we should hate him. It just didn't work for me.

Honestly I'm hugely disappointed what this episode had to show. I really hope this is not the direction the show is taking. The only reason I started (and will probably continue) watching the show is because of Reece, Jen and Steve. I feel like that cast can make a show literally about anything and still make it good. I just hope it changes direction soon.
