The Episode Review

Aïssa and Vlad have the most typical, tired arc, but the rest of the comic crew own compelling narratives.

The moments between Bling and Nezir are especially touching, showing us hope for a redemption arc. This redemption shouldn’t come so easily, however. Little accountability has been expected of Bling so far- so an easy absolution and comeback for the failed comedian would be deeply unsatisfying. ..

In the season finale, Apolline faces a dilemma: whether to pursue her stand-up dreams or stay with her mother. She has strong convictions about what she wants, but does she have the guts to follow through with them?
