Mel, who’s been mostly great in this series, was really starting to crack under the pressure. I enjoyed watching everyone wear down differently but she keeps running for attending and leaving students to make hard decisions. And she seems so frazzled. Growing pains for my favorite doctor.

The anecdote about hating Michael Scott after the pilot is so appropo given the premiere of The Studio this week. The protagonist is spineless, inconsiderate, a serial liar, a meddler, and lacks any self-awareness... so yeah, I pretty much hate Matt after these first 2 episodes The problem isn't that he's a flawed antihero it's that Seth Rogen and company seem to believe Matt is a loveable, dream-chasing screw-up that the audience is supposed to root for. This dissonance seems like it'll be a huge problem for me because I generally like everything else about the show.
