Back, Back, Back... It's Gone!

[studioAT · 7/10 · 13 June 2023]

Ryan King is looking to get back into the dating game, but of course as 'Go On' needs him to be in a state of limbo for the show to work, he mucks this up spectacularly.

This is the most agile comedic performance in a series from Matthew Perry since 'Friends' and he is lucky that everywhere you look in this cast there are people with the talent to back him up.

Laura Benanti is great, Bill Cobbs steals every scene he's in, and on the whole it all works.

It gets a bit silly at times here, but this episode tells three good stories and manages to balance out humour and heart well.

On the whole, another good episode.
