No Activity: The American (2015)
Season 1, Episode 5
6/10
The American
24 December 2023
No Activity seems to be improving mainly because of the absurdity of the characters. It seems to have found its own rhythm.

Hendy is now joined in the stakeout by an American detective called Cutler. He has little time for Hendy's incessant chatter and has a dim opinion of Hendy. Cutler calls him a low level detective.

Hendy is upset to learn that April showed Cutler around the city and then ravished him like a tiger. Hendy decides to get how own back when he goes to get a Chinese takeout.

Meanwhile Stokes has to talk about the shooting incident back at the station. He mistakes the court clerk for a therapist. Stokes tells her all about his issues with his wife and her first husband.

It was this kind of absurdity which lifts the episode. The older Carol talking to April about a romantic situation where she realised that she took a boy's virginity. April then getting shocked to learn the encounter happened only a few weeks earlier.
