In her Instagram feed, Julia Telles shares that Whitney gets three half episodes this season and this is the first. First, she does a wonderful job conveying quiet suffering and frustration to all around her especially her boss and her fiance. Second, Whitney has her first intimate scene with an old boyfriend which goes unexpectedly kinky. She is able to convey both confusion and acceptance (or pleasure) during this turn in the love making. Finally, it was a little distracting that they couldn't decide how out there the character was going to dress for the party. They put her in a super thin gold dress. As she is dressing, when she is at the party and when she returns home, she is wearing a bra under the dress to apparently make it more modest. However, once she and the ex-boyfriend get to his bedroom, the bra is obviously gone. Also her panties seem to change color. When she gets off the couch, there is a flash of light colored panties but in all other scenes the panties are black. I don't know if they were trying to comfort the actor by limiting the revealing scenes to a minimum or not. Obviously this was a distraction probably only to me but the overarching takeaway is that Julia Telles nailed it. Looking forward to her next half episode.

I have viewed all seasons on Prime in the last 2 months. Season 5 is bad. To be fair, there are some good aspects to it: Acting is incredible. Love the development of the children, particularly Whit. Vic's storyline was really drawn out and made the first couple of episodes hard to watch. I like the Sierra character but the hook-up with Helen was totally unnecessary and ruined an otherwise good episode. Cannot stand Sasha and the entire storyline. Like Helen's parents. I like the future Joanie and I think AP was a good cast. She looks similar to RW. Not sure where's it's going though. Liked Janelle but don't get her giving up on Noah and going back to a situation that will not work.
