    The Green Glow

    The previous episode ended with a great cliffhanger.

    The resolve in this episode was rather weak. A cheap cop out.

    The whole episode was a filler in my opinion.

    Harry tries to get over Isabelle leaving him and losing his job as the town doctor by taking booze and drugs.

    Later he is told that he should be getting stoned. The best bit was Harry talking to an octopus.

    lazy producer?

    Why does the show claim that life on Earth emerged only 500 million years ago when it's well-established that life began around 4 billion years ago? This is a massive inaccuracy, especially considering that even basic research would reveal the existence of microbial life in Earth's early history. It feels lazy and undermines the show's credibility, especially since it touches on themes of science and extraterrestrial life. Such glaring mistakes make it harder for scientifically literate viewers to stay immersed in the narrative. Was this an intentional oversimplification for the sake of storytelling, or just a result of poor fact-checking?

    Another great episode

    What a great episode! I'm so invested in everyone's story. The Deputy is awesome, Harry is always funny, I just enjoy them all so much. Every episode is just so good. I look forward to Wednesday nights. And Alan Tudyk is hilarious every day of the week.

    I already tried booze and pills

    This episode belongs to Liv, she was perfect. The storyline flowed well and it was fun to see Max and Harry team up. Asta and Darcy keep up the comedy.

    Maybe just a plaque

    RA continues to provide the laughs as this episode see's Harry get ever closer to reaching his goal. Young Max's problems get resolved as the case of the stolen prescription pad gets solved at long last, and Liz puts her foot down.

    The show manages to resolve the potential exposure of Harry in the beginning of the episode in a pretty underwhelming way that got resolved just a bit too easy for being the previous show cliffhanger. Is it really government policy to shoot extra terrestrials? C'mon man.

    Sheriff Mike and Deputy Liz continue their investigation, while Mike continues to be his continuous oblivious self, and Liz getting no credit for her efforts with the mayor. Later, the two find out who stole the pad and who currently has it. During the apprehension Mike does things the hard way while Liz uses her smarts. Later at a diner Liz let's Mike know what she really feels.

    Max's ability to see through Harry's disguise proves useful and after Harry agrees to save him from being shipped off, Max agrees to help Harry with a job. Borrowing some resources from school they manage to locate the last missing piece of Harry's ship: the destructive device.

    Things go worse this time around out on the glacier as Harry locates his item, but both D'Arcy and Asta have followed and the three get into even deeper trouble.

    Another decent entry in a show that could've been whittled down to 30 minutes if they'd omit the whole Judy, D'Arcy drama that is getting a bit tired and old. 7/10.
