This is a fun show. I've watched episodes 5-7 this weekend.
5 was the flashback one, and it was as good as advertised. Funny, dramatic and heartfelt. Jake Johnson was his usual eminently watchable self and Cristin Miliotti continues to be criminally good. I think she can do anything. That was really good TV.
6 was the one where someone takes control of the Masked Man and Poppy interviews for another job, while distracting Ian with the new tall guy. This was more straightforwardly funny but all the characters had something to do, and the show has really figured out who all of them are at this point. So everybody got a comedic moment. I liked it as much for the show really starting to come together as anything else.
7 was the epic battle between Ian and the person who had hacked the game. I probably should have seen the reveal of who it was coming, but I didn't think about it much and so enjoyed the surprise. The "we found your IP address and activated your camera" counterhack was pretty weak -- with Apple and Ubisoft advising the show, I might have expected something with a bit more verisimilitude, b ut then it wasn't the point. The reveal was, and it worked. Fun and actually kind of exciting episode. I really like the Poppy character.
Speaking of Apple, it's interesting that they are letting Razer computers be so prominently featured. They can't plausibly show MacBook Pros being the systems of choice here so I get it, but still unexpected that they aren't at least obfuscating the competing brand.
