This entire episode was about clearing the house of a deceased character. A whole hour of soap opera.
Who do they think the audience for this show is? There is not a single reference to the history of the internet, the supposed theme.
They started out doing a pretty good job but this show has become simply an agenda for the ambition of the director, writers and actors.
This episode in particular is the ultimate proof of this. All the actors get to ham it up in what seems to be a deliberate and desperate bid for an Emmy.
No one expects H&CF to be anything else than dramatized documentary of the internet. Lately it has been all drama and no documentary. It is not as if they have run out of material - they have only covered the 70s up to the 90s.
They have abandoned their audience to pander to baby-boomer Academy judges. I expect this will be their last season.
