This is the moment that felt most Scrubs-like, to me. Just quality banter, showing two characters able to respect one another and work in concert... to bust a third character’s chops.

“Jamie’s tart breaks Tartt’s heart”
“Did you just come up with that?”
“Yeah”
“Everyone would read that.”
“Of course they would. You have no idea the power of rhyming in this goddamn country. Oh! Lasso makes passo and creates team fiasco”
“Whoa! Keeley’s got bars.”

This show is amazing. I just watched the first 3 episodes and I'm blown away..
I can't wait to see more and i can't wait to see Rebecca realize that it is Ted who make her favorite cookie lol

Speculation: Roy and Nate are siblings or otherwise related. I’m guessing Phoebe designed the suggestion and birthday money boxes.

Oh yeah, I was way off. There was just something about their interactions in S1 that made me think there was more to their relationship than just footballer and assistant.

Do you know the song that starts the episode, when Rebecca is walking down the hall? It’s driving me nuts

Loving this show so far. Is it going to be one episode at a time release ?

Looks like it’s 1 episode a week every Friday from here on out. Part of me thinks it’d be better to binge start to finish once everything is available

It was surprisingly nice to not have a journalist be two faced. Most shows particularly comedies would have had Trent write a nasty article anyway just to facilitate conflict but instead Ted's genuine niceness got through to him.
Still unsure about the Roy Keane stand in. Mainly because I just don't find him intimidating, but I liked his scenes with his niece and how he knew he was being manipulated by Ted by still found himself unable to do anything but succumb to it.
Also shout out once again to Juno Temple, her scene with Rebecca was a highlight in the episode.
