This episode was maybe a little slow, but I loved the chicken less penne coming back as a plot point and I hope somehow there is a whole supernatural aspect to the show.

I really admired this, but it was hard to watch. Nathan Fielder seems to be going for the Michael Hanneke miserablist niche of Adult Swim alt-comedy. Slow closeups of the producer silently weeping alone?

I did think the bit at the end where Asher and Whitney have an honest moment of fun and then proceed to suck all of the life out of it by trying to recreate it for the 'gram was pretty inspired, especially with the subsequent mask-slipping descent into all-out dysfunction for the unfortunate couple.

Emma Stone is always good, but she is SO good in this episode.
