The Price (S01E04)

The fourth episode was full of demands and disappointments, and I liked it. I didn't find many reasons for a joyful smile, but I think that's precisely why I was so satisfied. I'm glad I realized right in the pilot that I wouldn't have anyone to root for. As the plot progresses, it becomes increasingly evident that my instinct was right. Some episodes of the first season clearly explain why Americans (or the majority of them) lag behind in geography and history. They are taught that the first enslaved people were black people, and the first enslavers were the Portuguese, so I'm hardly surprised. I also learned that the United States became the greatest empire the world had ever known, and I inadvertently hummed, "God Save the King." So, yes, the fourth episode had its hilarious moments. / Lesson learned: Appetite grows with eating. And so does your weight. (07.06.2023)
