I agree this episode was really nice. All the flashback episodes I saw were nice (didn’t watched the last season beyond the first episode)
I heard there’s another great one in Season 2 but still going through quarantine episode.
It's the only show with a covid episode that was good. So many failed attempts. They made a really solid one.
I didn't watch the show until recently but even seeing it much later I agree that it hit all the right notes. Just the right blend of comedy, emotional insight, and zoom shenanigans without overdoing or downplaying any aspect of it. It's crazy how I consider Craig Mazin's role in it as one of his finest moments just behind showrunning the powerhouses Chernobyl and The Last of Us on HBO.
I really loved that one too!
The Season 2 C.W. Longbottom backstory episode followed by the closure for it later in the present was also fantastic. It's a shame F. Murray Abraham was making people uncomfortable on set after multiple warnings and restrictions from interacting with certain cast members because those episodes made C.W. one of the most interesting characters in the show. I thought they tied things up extremely well though and am glad the rest of the staff can be more comfortable on set now.
