Fascinating to me that the only review here is from an account with no prior reviews or history. Also, what a confusing argument that the only way a character can be interesting is by being smart. Watch any Coen brothers film, I dare you.
Regardless, this is a messy, earnest, personally-driven little film that deeply understands modern-day alienation. What I love about Caleb is that he's constantly gamifying the world around him so that basic necessitates like making money, content, and human connections makes sense to him. But he's just out of touch enough that he's constantly setting himself up for failure. The world around him moves faster than he does, which as a post-pandemic piece of media rings really true for me.
Excellent call backs, subtle storytelling, and compelling performances makes this one to watch. While not the most accessible, and occasionally meandering, I believe this is one of Joel's strongest works to date.

This would be a small nit pick for most shows, but considering two of the main characters in this episode are deaf or hard of hearing, is it just me or is the sound mix in this show not that great?
A number of times in the chase scenes or in dialogue scenes the mix felt all over the place with no real care for anything diegetic. ADR feels slapped in with no real care. It doesn't ruin the experience of the show for me overall, but it definitely takes me out a little when they're trying to put me in Echo or Clint's shoes.
