Night Shift aka the Fine as Hell Shift

ok so the mommy issues comment to samira makes even more sense now.

robby has worked with dana for years and she didn’t know about his mother. he has kept that part of himself completely separate.

his exact words were, “nobody knows. who needs to know? who gives a fuck!” so when samira lets that completely inform her entire work day, he simply can’t understand it. that’s something you bifurcate.

and worse, when samira complains about how her mother is too present, wants to talk to her too much, he can’t relate to that at all.

he doesn’t know what it’s like to have a mom that wants to talk to you. he doesn’t know what it’s like to be annoyed by too many phone calls. he doesn’t know what it’s like to be able to just go to people for help. he’s so envious of samira for so many reasons.

robby’s suicidal ideation is so much scarier this season than last. last season we were inside his head. this season we’re experiencing him like the people around him are—temperamental & selfish & basically given up. he’s pushed the audience away as much as he has anyone else.

i feel like the visual storytelling is really supporting that in a few ways; we're not accompanying robby into private, quiet moments anymore, we don't see his flashbacks and the way they affect how he treats the people around him in their aftermath, we're not seeing him try to stay calm & collected for other people's behalf.

and as robby's behavior likely becomes more erratic and angrier as the day goes on, as he pushes the people that love him further and further away... it's going to be interesting to see if the show frames that kind of breakdown. because it's just as much of a mental health crisis, but it's a significantly less easy one for the audience to sympathize with when the show is keeping us at arm's length.

i think that that's an immensely interesting storytelling decision and i am really, really excited (and terrified) to see how it unfolds.

#the nail in the coffin imo was him slipping up to al-hashimi about Frank stealing the drugs #and how he didn’t even TRY to do damage control for it #instead he defends his OWN reputation #and then once again essentially admits that he doesnt plan on coming back #I am illllll #the pitt
