You’re the Worst: Season 1, Episode 5 “Sunday Funday” (B)
This wasn’t that intelligent an episode, but it was still pretty enjoyable. The concept of “Sunday Funday” is hardly original to this show, though it turned out to be highly entertaining. Framing the day with the news that Tye invited Gretchen to come with him via private jet to the Tribeca Film Festival made for an admittedly awkward day, mainly because Lindsay spilled the beans to Jimmy right away so that he could talk to her and convince her that he actually cares about her despite the nature of their arrangement. Of course it wouldn’t come about naturally for him, and he would need to realize that choosing between Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins might be just as difficult as picking eggs or pancakes for the rest of your life. The resolution was simple: Gretchen said to Jimmy that he just had to tell her if he didn’t want her to go, and he did. Seeing them walk away holding hands was a delight, and it’s very reassuring to know that they can actually function as a couple. It was a nice surprise to see Thomas Middleditch from “Silicon Valley” in a far more energetic role than usual as the hipster who stole Edgar’s Sunday Funday itinerary and copied it. After he seemed so cool, it was nice for Edgar to gain the upper hand and feel superior once he saw just how trivial his counterpart’s problems were and that he had been able to rise above seeing friends die in war.
