People are high on Britannia a lot, which leads me to ask: can I get high? Maybe that’ll help me get through the next four episodes and then just forget this show existed. That’d make me happy.
Though, if we’re being honest, this is a good quarantine sleep show. You know, that thing you put on in the background knowing full well you’re gonna fall asleep? My usual is The Great British Bake Off, but that gets interesting sometimes, so I don’t fall asleep. I run no such risk with Britannia. Sweet dreams indeed.
No, but back to everyone being high in this episode …everyone’s high. I really have to wonder if people were high this much during this time period, though I will say, I understand why everyone would want to be high. Things are shit anyway, everyone’s dirty and oh yeah, this show makes no sense.
3 compelling reasons.
Look, I can’t really write much about this episode because very little happened in this episode. If you have a ten episode season and you still manage a filler episode, you clearly don’t have enough story for a ten episode season. Maybe 6? Or maybe we can forget the show exists, I like that possibility too.
And yet …at least there wasn’t more suggested pedophilia, so on that regard, we’ve won. No idea why they even had to make that a thing last week, especially since it doesn’t seem to be a thing they’re sticking with, but whatever. I’ll forget it. I really, really want to.
By that, of course, I mean I absolutely won’t, but I won’t bring it up every paragraph either, because I still have to leave some room to complain about how nothing is happening and we’re getting closer to the end of the season.
If you consider Brutus and Philo coming back something, then there’s nothing I can do for you.
So yes, last week we had suggested pedophilia, which is the worst, this week we had the most boring hour an already boring show could possibly manage, so we’re not actually moving in the right direction in general, but I’ll take it, I guess.
