I find the constant gratuitous objectification of women in this show to be pretty painful. I like lots of other things about the writing and acting.

If every cutaway shot wasn't on an woman's scantily clad back end or chest, for reasons absolutely irrelevant to the plot, and the female characters had a bit more dimension than every '80s female trope, it would be so much more watchable. I feel a little sad this show gets an eight out of 10 on IMDb with it as it is.

The episode is worth watching, as enjoyable as the others and I really like this show. There's like a scene with no warning that opens with a fork and knife being scrubbed on a plate and like people should be warned about that. It might take 24 hours for my nervous system to figure this one out. They could have at least muted it a little bit but it's like the sound that's coming before the scene is fully faded in, it's very intense if you have any sound sensitivity, I'd say it's almost worth skipping the episode for. It's just after the halfway mark for those that want to try to be ready with the mute button.

For those unaffected by this noise, good for you, and I hope you're enjoying your carefree, relaxed, untriggered lives.

After watching this show, I will now look for more Mike Birbiglia. As he notes - he's a niche - but this is what great comedy sounds like, so it would be great if this niche became the norm. Excellent jokes, well written with a low-key delivery that doesn't get tiring. The most magnetic aspect is his humanity that he boldly interjects throughout and brings to the front at the end. Bring your class act to Alberta!! You can even call it Catberta, because cats.
