High Maintenance: Backflash
February 29, 2020 4:36 AM - Season 4, Episode 4 - Subscribe
Sisters deal with an untimely death; a bickering couple renegotiates their relationship. AKA the one with the lighter.
still the best show on TV.
In all recorded history.
It's so perfect there's nothing else to say. Except that I want to live in that world. And I knew from the tenderness of the first appearance of the lighter it was a Katja Blichfeld directed episode.

Following the lighter in this episode was such an amazing experience.
I only just discovered this show last week and I'm now all caught up (apart from the web episodes). I've been obsessed with it. It's so clever and moving and funny and just about every other emotion I can think of. I adore it. Looking forward to more.

Omg if you're fans of Buffy, Mr Trick is in the episode! He's the one who takes the lighter from the resto table.
I can not say how much I love this episode. It's just so wonderful. It reminded me of a section in the Tin Drum when the narrator talks about the memory of objects. This was such a gorgeous illustration of that and I felt awful during the credits. I wanted to save the lighter!!!
One of my absolute favorite episodes. About how seemingly small things carry so many memories.

Lovely episode. My one wish was that they let the Osborne song play through to the end of the flame, it was a such a nice counterpoint to the lighter imagining all the various covers the song had itself travelled through from camp to accordion. As close as we will ever come to a theological thesis statement by the show.

This one was really lovely - HM's "Let The Great World Spin."
