Easy Season 03
Easy Season 03 [trailer]
Intertwined groups of friends in Chicago fumble through the modern maze of love, sex, technology and culture.
Ep1 Swipe Right: I still like how matter-of-factly an open relationship is treated. Though considering their age, the way the two handled their respective "open" situations felt a bit immature.
Ep5 Swipe Left: However, the second episode with Andi and Kyle, is clearly the best. It has the most intense and real talk about relationships I've seen in a long time. Raw emotions. No wonder it's about twice as long as the others episodes. I suspect no one wanted to stop it. Open relationships are difficult. And doomed to fail. At the end it's difficult to say if the open relationship "experiment" is a success or not.
Ep2 Private Eyes: I can't relate to the character. But once again, it is treated very matter-of-factly, how someone is starting to get interested in BDSM.
Ep3 Spontaneous Combustion: The "art" of leaving someone. While easier said than done, I think it's an excellent decision not to start a new relationship until the "third person in the room" is entirely gone.
Ep4 Yes: Slice of life. It ends well, but dating someone at the workplace is always a difficult decision.
Ep6 Blank Pages: Good contribution to the #MeToo conversation. If only it would be possible to happen that way more often.
Ep7 Number One Seller: Not sure what to make of this one. A daily hustle, and then blowing it all at a strip club because of exhaustion.
Ep8 Low Rolling Boil: The background of trying to start your own busines is still very good. But Franco's character is still annoying me. Even if the episode tries to bring the story arc to a good close.
Ep9 She's Back: Another good episode about two challenges to relationships, long distance and career choices. The ending is not happy, but felt sensible.
Overall, it was very nice to see established story lines continue over the three seasons.
