Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Jules and Charles work to renew Brockmire’s internet fame. Their efforts payoff tenfold when Brockmire gains a very unexpected fan base.
Our Take
The viral fame storyline gives Hank Azaria plenty of room to run, and he’s clearly having a blast, but the episode leans too hard on the same drunk-broadcast gag we’ve already seen four times. Amanda Peet gets sidelined just as her character was getting interesting. Some solid laughs, though the middle stretch meanders. Fine, but this show has done sharper.
