shallownessB99 6.7 The Honeypot
Very funny variable speeds/coffee opening gag.
I don’t know if it was a little bit the long break since I saw the last episode or purely the content, but the Jake-Holt interaction over trying to get the latter a new assistant was extremely funny. Meanwhile Santiago trying to declutter the floor was pretty funny as her full obsessive mode was unleashed. Cue a nice skewering of Marie Kondo, and great wincing from Charles and Rosa as Amy took the picture of the empty drawer after Terry shared his heartbreak. The ‘flirting’ was hilarious, with Jake speaking for most of us, as was Holt’s whole ‘Thomas Cruise’ thing.
6.8 He Said, She Said
Less funny opener, linking into Peralta and Santiago’s case, which had amusingly absurd details.
Meanwhile Holt was the obsessive one – hurrah for the flashback wig. The actor playing the Disco Strangler looked old in the flashback, instead of about the age he’d have been. Really, Holt should have looked at the burnt corpse.
After hearing what ‘she said’, I stopped assuming that the case would be about something else. They played the sexual harassment pretty straight, with Jake slowly realising the extent of it (the montage!), Amy and Rosa disagreeing over how to handle it and both making valid points, and Amy disclosing what had happened with her creepy skeeve first mentor. While still being quite funny. And she didn’t flip out anywhere near as much as Jake had over that locked apartment case.
Holt’s obsessive quest got more and more absurd, while beingvindicated, which was funnier.
6.9 The Golden Child
I watched this live (whew, I’m all caught up). About time that we met one of Santiago’s brothers, and it was funny to see Lin-Manuel Miranda (it was him, right?) doing bad dancing. Jake’s not trying to make Amy be the better person, but really trying to do that when he had to was great – they are such a great couple.
I snickered at the auditioning to go undercover. Holt’s attempts to be convincingly straight were, as always, terrible.
