Comisery Episode 3 ("Party Party Party") might be my favourite episode to date. It's the one where the series finally comes together, and its narrative direction comes into focus. It's the first time the entire cast is in a single episode – all six actors. It also introduces Sheetal Sheth as Anika and Nat Ho […]
