    Brilliant

    The sheer audacity of making this episode, knowing full well that it would alienate a considerable part of the audience, is admirable. The (varied) musical numbers are exhilarating - you may need to watch them at least twice to catch more lyrics. In fact, I watched the whole episode twice, just like I did the 1st one; Aniq and Yasper are likable and have depth to them, while Brett (the star of the 2nd episode) is an one-note character who is better in smaller doses (and his scenes in episodes 1 & 3 are funnier than anything in his own). I'd give this one 8.5/10.

    Pure Meh....

    Mixing a satire with a musical really didn't work for this show. I fell asleep numerous times being bored by this character. Good thing each episode is a completely different perspective.

    Best musical materiel

    Best musical materiel I ever seen in my life, it was amazing and not boring like most musicals are.

    I'm sure it will be best episode of this show. Mark my words.

    Ben Schwartz is a powerhouse!

    Though the episode still drives the plot forward (a little), Episode 3 is mainly a showpiece for Yasper. Think song, dance and comedy triple threat overtaking the 30 minute installment. As each character tells their story/"mind-movie" to the detective, that character gets a deep dive, but Yasper's goes haywire. THREE song and dance numbers make me think this actor could transition to musician. He is so funny - he needs to be the lead of a comedy called Yasper. His HS classmates are pretty great backup dancers, and it's hilarious that there's always a key moment for the Asian dude. Nobody, including the detective, is THAT concerned with finding out whodunnit, except for maybe Aniq, but he's primarily concerned with clearing himself. The cast has good chemistry, better than the meet-cute couple, and they are believable as a reunion class years later. Franco, in a role it feels he's played before - is ironically the least magnetic of the characters, but his character does suck, so maybe not his fault. Ben's ep is more like a Broadway musical/comedy than a tv show, but it works for me.

    Good

    I'm not a big fan of musicals so that's probably why this wasn't amazing for me but it was still fun and the musical scenes were still funny. They also consistently switched to current time and storytelling which made it flow better and not feel like they just tack on a random twist at the end of the episode.
