p.s. @ cheers - yesterday's episode of The God Wife is earning more acclaim. Multiple 10/10s, A's, and 5 stars.
Quote:
In addition to the nebulous campaign story and Cary’s trial, “Trust Issues” offers up a case of the week, too, which isn’t strictly necessary, but is handled with aplomb. And like a lot of storylines in this episode, it seems designed just so that it can offer us a few wonderful moments, whether that’s Alicia casually dismantling the opposition’s case—where the lawyer is the woman who didn’t hire our girl the first time around, and then this time tells Alicia she should have (damn straight) or Robyn yelling to the guy who uses their sink and complains about not having hot water, “I know, Gunter, we’re all making do.”
I can’t imagine what the writing process of this show is like, because every episode has multiple pieces that are so intensely joined together. And one of those pieces is David Lee interrupting Diane during her retirement speech, and another are the gold zippers that pop up on a few different outfits in Alicia’s wardrobe. This episode has a significant moment with Peter and Alicia, several crucial moments for Diane (including the one where she says goodbye, which I read as triumphant), and the introduction of a new character in Taye Diggs’ Dean, who just wants to do something new and fun (and is bringing a team of lawyers who are almost all minorities, interestingly).
But it’s such a delicious, fun show to watch, and so unlike the dramas that currently make up our prestige landscape. It’s at its best when it’s in the thick of it, and unlike last season, which really let **** hit the fan at episode five, season six is sprinting from the get-go.

The acting is just SO bad.
