What I’m Watching: Physical

Physical: Season 2, Episode 2 “Don’t You Ever Stop” (B+)

Sheila has replaced one immensely distracting addiction with another, unable to stay focused on her classes while she kept flashing back to the motel and her reunions with Breem. Greta was intrigued and then a little concerned about the handprint she noticed on Sheila, and of course leaving Danny alone to take care of the children for once would lead to him involving everyone in a protest and then getting arrested. He’s always very big on admirers, and Wanda fit that bill, applauding him for being an active dad when this is literally the only thing he’s really done. I am a big fan of Tawny Newsome, so it’s great to see her in this role, whether or not that will continue past this episode. Having Breem be the one to drive Maya home after Danny got arrested was an interesting twist, one that didn’t sit well with Sheila because the fantasy started to invade a different space than she was used to or comfortable with at first. Breem is also not doing a great job of listening to his wife and was too distracted by the sight of Sheila to chastise his son for his new girlfriend who had apparently already had him over with her family. Even as she’s dealing with a potential pregnancy and with the unexpected loss of her father, it’s Bunny who seems to be Sheila’s biggest current threat since she’s furious at the idea that Sheila might now want to employ her after stealing what she first created.
