Double Time

I did like Jane Lynch turning up as Sazz Pataki, Charles stunt double in his old cop show Brazzos.

It added some character moments to Charles and how his previous marriage fell apart.

You do wonder if his new found relationship with Jan might be disrupted by Sazz.

One thing for sure, Jan was never ever going to be squeaky clean. Then again not many are in the Arconia.

The only bum note was that the building committee could so easily revoke Charles, Oliver and Mabel's residency.

The penultimate episode sets whing nicely up for the finale by providing an important twist.

The last minute or so of this episode is absolutely breathtaking, with a reveal that is truly shocking! The slow build up to it is done incredibly well, I just wish that the exposition and plot development instigated by Jane Lynch's character was given to another character, someone who has already been introduced. I love Jane Lynch as an actor, but this role was poorly written and out of place with the rest of the show.

The addition of the always smug and abrasive Jane Lynch was not a bonus for this episode. Her presence is an irritant and doesn't add anything indispensable to the plot.

The character from Brazzos' past makes for some great comedy moments. Also the reveal at the end I didn't see coming at all. Great episode!

Why? Why has this new character been introduced now!? Lynch is annoying, over acting horribly and trying way too hard to "impress" her bosses and peers. You're acting opposite Steve Martin! Please graciously accept 2nd best off the bat! Also, why is the (white) landlady" "insulting" Charles by calling him "whitey". So, being a white woman is ok but a white man is an insult? Give me a break.

Thankfully "Zaz" isn't in the entire episode. I really hope she doesn't become a regular. Amy Ryan has irresistible charm and is a welcome addition which is why I am so surprised Lynch's presence is a major misjudgment. It's nothing new though. I get the same about Craig in Parks and Recreation.

Awful and nearly made me quit watching.
