Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Oh, John. Oh, Jane. Our pair have been oh so bad at sharing and caring. Time to call in help — John and Jane, get ready for: COUPLES THERAPY, what a gas!
Our Take
The therapy framing gives Donald Glover and Maya Erskine room to dig into what’s actually broken between them, and the back-and-forth gets uncomfortably funny in the best way. It’s a talky, contained hour that mostly works because the two leads sell every awkward silence. Some scenes run longer than they need to, but the emotional payoff makes it worth sitting through.
