Gosh this show is so clever! It's adorable and smart.

The first part sees Josh being haunted by the memory of Maggie so they call in a priest to exorcise her possessions that Josh is still obsessively keeping in his apartment. It's a fantastic Exorcist style spoof & the Italian priest is perfecto. So funny.

The bulk of the episode is Josh in a war room agonising about the text he wants to send Laura. The actors playing the various advisers around the table are spot on! Text jk! Text jk! Hahaha. They do so much with a simple idea.

The final part (the actual date) is the least interesting part. I'm glad Laura is out of the show now hopefully.

It's such a clever show and it's amazing that it's so good and only on episode 2!

It has clever moments, for sure

There are some incredibly clever scenes in this episode, specifically whenever they are trying to figure out what to text Laura and getting rid of Maggie's things. BUT, on the whole, this was a transition episode.

The first episode kept up with a seemingly linear storyline, Josh coming to terms with his new setup in life, however it was told through mini-stories from scene-to-scene that could be easily tracked by the separate bits of comedy that they were. And, although this episode had that seem kind of feel, it fell short in how these bits and the story as a whole coincided with one another. To that point again, it's a transition episode.

It seems as though Simon Rich was cleared after they hired on his pilot, and now he's in a place to create and actual series now. This episode was just one of the first steps in creating this new world that we, as the audience, get to walk around in. I still enjoy it, but in terms of both ep. 1 and 3 being on either side of this, this was definitely the runt of the litter.
