I actually enjoyed seeing Carol again. She’s showing a bit of character growth. Granted keeping those postcards from Pete when he was alive makes her a bitch as well as an adulteress.
.
I didn’t get the vibe she hid them (if it was said explicitly, I missed it). It felt to me that in the 40 years since he died, he forgot that he had gotten them.
I think that’s right. At least they didn’t say straight out that she hid them. (And he did die quite young, so postcards from trips he set up in his last year might have shown up after his death.)
They didn’t resolve the matter of the Family’s “tab.” On the editing room floor (figuratively, of course), one supposes.
And Utkarash Ambudkar positively rocked that chef’s smock.
Well, Carol died at Woodstone and Sam & Jay mysteriously have both her secret recipe and copies of the Family’s books. I’m not in the mob, but to me that imlies that Sam & Jay are incredibly dangerous people (& very good at obfuscating stupidity) and it would be in my best interest to quitely pay my tab.
I saw a short clip of the French version of the show. Apparently it follows the same pattern of doing a remake of the original pilot episode then going off on its own. I also read that there will be a German version. I’m going to assume the ghost case will skip a certain decade plus part of history.
There are ways to do it without making light of Nazism. How about an inept Allied pilot who insists that the mansion he flew his plane into was High Command HQ? Trapped for eternity in a house full of Germans. Hilarity ensues.
Don’t talk about the war!
About the latest episode as soon as the plane shows up you had to know what was about to happen. Will the stripper be quickly sucked off, or will he become a regular?
A stripper getting sucked off may be a little too on-point. Let’s hope!
It’s a shame that Chris died fully clothed.
Did they fire a bunch of writers or something? Look, it was dead obvious (pun intended) once the plane was heard- it would work out badly. And the sitcom meme of overhearing something and totally misunderstanding it is old and needs to be send over to stupid ass sitcoms.
The show is getting cringe worthy.
It wasn’t great. But I’m looking forward to finding out what Hetty’s ghost power is.
I’d like to see him unleash Hetty’s libido first.
I think he has to marry Nigel first…
I liked this ep and the previous two pretty well. I’ve wondered more than once if they’d changed writers, and agree with @DrDeth that it’s sometimes been cringeworthy. Again, it feels like they’re trying to walk a line between family friendly and adult. Pete proclaiming that Trevor’s taint is all over the phony review was both funny and kind of ick.
The stripper was pretty funny in his first appearance so he might add something, but I really prefer Nigel. Maybe he’ll(stripper) end up with Jenkins and Nigel will come back to the house. Also, I’m another who can’t wait to learn what Hetty’s ghost power is. I can’t even make an educated guess.
I can. Nearly everyone who dies in her house comes back as a ghost.
Utkarsh Ambudkar really rocks the chef’s smock.
Does her power time travel? When you add up the basement ghosts more of them died before Hetty was born.
Was there ever a cholera epidemic in the Hudson Valley? Or is this just a plot device?
