A joy to watch from start to finish, with heartwarming moments that make you smile as if you've known these characters from a sitcom for twenty years, especially in that final scene.
It's remarkable how the show effortlessly blends thriller, comedy, romance and drama into one package with actual interesting characters. We get introductions to Elena and her extended family, plus Jon Hamm's ever-intriguing narration where one minute he's analysing Birkin bags to unpacking the social intricacies of immigrant housewives.
It truly feels like a 2010s rom-com when the air was charged with possibility, and that nostalgic vibe is a truly a treat. This series has it all, and I can't wait for more!!!

This episode continues to build a solid foundation for the final season's overarching plot and the pacing is strong especially with the Raegan stuff and Joe's inner turmoil feels more refined than ever.
That said, the character of Bronte feels painfully flat - boring, superficial, and clearly written to be quirky in a way that just doesn't land. Feels like the epitome of a sidecharacter who wants to be in the main cast. It's forced and almost parody like, with the redhead "manic pixie" angle coming off as cringeworthy. The show also leans too hard into future foreshadowing of their romance which we'll probably see, but it just feels super unnatural and tries too hard to hype up drama that isn't quite there yet.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this show and episode specifically is one of the few examples of how to correctly orchestrate a non-linear timeline of events.
The curiosity and tension to finding out what exactly happened on "the day" has been building up for the past 6 episodes, and it was truly delivered upon in this episode despite the bar being raised so high.
No one is given too much or too little screen time, the set design and backgrounds were great and it truly demonstrated the hectic events in a doomsday scenario. Reminiscent to the movie 2012 in a way also, but with more focus on how regular people react with each other even in "non-essential" government - which was an interesting perspective.
Looking forward to what's next!!
