I was enchanted by the quirky comedic brilliance and open, yet nuanced, approach to mental wellness and everyday relationship issues depicted in this episode. The chemistry between Shun and Maurice was particularly memorable, and I felt reminded of Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding's interplay on The Mighty Boosh. Will Sharpe as Shun is flawless and I only recently learned that he is also the creator, writer and director!
I found the supposed 'racist moments' to be the most amusing part of the episode and I think it is a deliberate message that the most unsophisticated characters, Carol and Caroll, are the ones who most question whether it is racist or not. It is clear that the show is aware of the potential for misinterpretation and I consider is no coincidence that these two characters have the same name and share the same thoughtless opinions, while also being in a societal position above the others.
I would highly recommend this series to anyone who values great comedy and engaging stories. It is the perfect example of the kind of show I would love to see more of, and I applaud everyone involved in its production.
