This is the episode where Miriam’s secret leaves being something just known by her comedy friends and enters her personal life.
It’s almost an uneventful episode until Rose hooks up Miriam with a man, a doctor, named Benjamin.
Abe and Joel continue to evolve, Miriam realizes her social etiquette is going to the toilet and Susie? Well, she is just tired of being broke.
Miriam has her first paid gig but the camaraderie she got from Lenny Bruce is missing. As that happens, Abe and Joel pull a 180 in their lives.
Miriam is back and as she helps Abe with the fact Rose is in Paris, she mourns her marriage for, perhaps, the final time.
Homecoming’s air of mystery may not be a large selling point but, at the very least, the recognizable talent could compensate as the story picks up.
Never Goin’ Back holds itself back from the many things which could have made this either really funny, insightful, or heartfelt.
Forever seems to tone down Maya Rudolph, and the style you likely know her for, and have her perform more within Fred Armisen’s comfort zone. Leaving you with a show which comes off very niche.
The thing which the first two episodes sorely needed are given: Rachel and Jack being the main focus.
Episode 2 of Ordeal by Innocence shows that being an ass to everyone is guaranteed to get you killed.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
