Summary
Elderly Patient 54 wants to quit smoking; Patient 88 gets stabbed in the neck.
Our Take
A slight step down from the pilot, with the office banter carrying more weight than the actual dream work. The rotoscoped sequences are still the show’s weirdest, best trick, but the smoking nun premise runs out of ideas before the episode does. Short enough that it never wears out its welcome, though, and the cast keeps the deadpan humor alive.
