Extracurriculars

Ep 6 is one of those instalments where the show remembers how much fun it can be when it leans into academic absurdity.

The so-called "James Joyce symposium" - which is really a half-chaotic faculty hangout masquerading as intellectual seriousness - is easily one of the funniest sequences of the season. Watching everyone try (and fail) to keep up appearances while letting their real feelings slip made the whole episode feel alive.

What surprised me is how the story still moves forward underneath all the banter. The casual conversations at this gathering end up revealing more about motives and pressures than any formal interview so far.

And the last scene? Easily the most intriguing five minutes in a while... the kind that nudges the season into its next gear without shouting about it.

A light, clever, and quietly impactful 7.5/10.
