Such an important #girlboss moment, thank you, Nora. Ellie knows the real reason her dad isn’t staying with them: He wants to catch the Watcher, whom Dean refers to as a “son of a bitch.” Nora interjects to say that the Watcher could be a woman.
Dean, you know what else has a pool? Your house. When they check into the motel, even the receptionist is like, “Jesus, what are you doing here?” (Paraphrasing only slightly.) Dean tries to sell the kids on the motel by telling them it has a pool. Nora and the children are staying at a motel, ostensibly because Carter has asthma and the reno dust troubles his delicate senses (poor kid, seriously) but really because the house is a scary place full of Jaspers.
Starting to get a clearer sense of how these kids wound up filing for bankruptcy. Anyway, she got into true crime in rehab, and she’s so desperate for work that she cuts her rate in half immediately, so now Dean is shelling out $50 an hour for … whatever is going on here. Her name is Theodora Birch, just like a real person! She has this convoluted, unnecessary backstory about drinking and being a jazz singer, and I’m not convinced you need to know any of this, except it’s an opportunity for Dumezweni to chew that scenery. Dean thinks it’s Mitch and Mo but not so convinced that he doesn’t check out a private investigator, played by Noma Dumezweni. Is Chamberland a quiet-quitting icon? The funniest part of this scene is when Nora says they can’t spare $7,000 (apparently the show’s favorite quantity of cash this is also the sticker price the alarm teen quoted for their security system) because “we need that money for the renovation.” Yes, definitely invest in the haunted house you don’t even feel safe enough to sleep in, the site where fair Sprinkles was slaughtered while you all slept. He straight-up tells the Brannocks they should DIY this crisis because he’s not having taxpayer money (as if the Brannocks are not, you know, themselves taxpayers) allocated to solving this particular issue. I actually kind of love that Chamberland’s energy is Okay, and ? Like, what do you want me to do about this? I am but a humble small-town police detective. Let a grown man play in your dumbwaiter, I always say. Unless that dog is the Watcher, this is not providing the necessary atmospheric detail you think it is!ĭetective Chamberland hasn’t really changed his tune and in fact goes for the full victim blame by suggesting the Brannocks have enraged gentle Jasper by aggressively chucking him out of their house. We don’t need to be watching for this long! Just cut down the time you spend having a dog bark in the distance, which has now happened twice (in the premiere, too) and that’s precious moments back right there.
Episode two is coming in at a slightly bloated 50 minutes. Okay, well, I spoke too soon about a few things, the first of which being the length of these episodes.
