The episode at hand begins with another familiar sight: Julia and her mother arguing. Also, like the previous seasons, its virtues often make you forget, even for a moment or two, its flaws. It has always been over the top, shrill, and excessive.

The show is not perfect, but it never has been. Christian’s journey (aside from the moral fortitude he’s shown at work with Quentin that EW was, again, correct to point out as wrong) has been compelling and gave us a reason not to mind if Sean’s plot somehow devolved into another swing on the old merry-go-round. Yes, I get that all divorces are not clean breaks, but do we really have to do with another episode that starts with them being okay with one another and ends with one of them kicking the other out of their respective home or office? And no, starting out an episode that way and ending with them being friendly again is not a “change of pace”.Īll of that having been said, however, I still am enjoying this show overall. I too am sick of the merry go round that has become Sean and Julia’s relationship. I disagreed with its grade (a D+?!) but, oddly, did not necessarily disagree with the problems it pointed out in the show.

Who Was Nice Enough to Demonstrate it For Us: 1.) Julia, a hallucination of Kimber, a Red Sox loving woman named Helenīefore I go into this episode, I feel the need to reference last week’s Entertainment Weekly review of this season of Nip/Tuck.
