Trope City, Population: this
The biggest thing I took away from this episode? Maybe I should be writing TV. Seriously - if this is the bar for creativity, hand me a Final Draft license and point me to the writers' room.
Look, I don't enjoy being this negative, but this episode felt like it was assembled from the Great Big Book of Clichés, volume 3. Every plot point telegraphs itself five minutes in advance like it's waving a neon sign. It's less "plot twist" and more "plot déjà vu."
Now, I get it - this isn't trying to be prestige TV. If your only requirement is something light and predictable to make you feel warm and fuzzy, then sure, this will probably do the trick. But if you're craving originality or surprise? Keep flipping channels.
