Speechless keeps doing an amazing job delivering great stories and even bigger laughs week after week. The show's 4th installment I-N-S--INSPIRATIONS tested a new dynamic and it proved to be a clear winner.
Quick Recap:
- Kenneth and JJ spent a day on their own and enjoyed exploiting the benefits of being disabled and black. Kenneth got quite the power rush out of it, eventually ruining their day together.
- The rest of the DiMeo family meanwhile tried to do entertaining stuff on their own and was tricked by Maya to fix the bathroom door for JJ. The family eventually went paintballing and had the best day ever making them feel guilty about it.
What worked:
- Exploring the Dylan-Ray relationship/chemistry. The two of them played so well together. Their scenes were funny, light and really adorable. Especially the moment the two of them leaned on each other.
- The mid-credit scene where Dylan tortures Ray cause she prefers it over teaming up with him. That girl has charm.
- Dylan playing the psychotherapist to Maya, I mean Kyla Kennedy nailed that scene and I enjoy her scenes more and more as time passes.
- The rift between JJ and Kenneth, that followed after Kenneth got too greedy and didn't listen to JJ anymore. Another ep and they tackled another important topic related to people's with disabilities. Other people deciding for them and not hearing them. I liked that the show showed JJ's anger and made Kenneth revisit the choices he made.
- Kenneth indulging JJ and letting him drive the van was hilarious, Cedric's facial expressions are just pure gold.
What didn't work:
- Really hard to tell and nitpick about, cause it was a great episode. The opening scene certainly revealed a bit too much. The DiMeos need boundaries or better-said bathroom boundaries.
Best Line:
Jimmy: Those monsters! They've shot you in my favorite breats!
What did you think of last night's outing? Am I smitten by love and can't see the bad parts or is the show just that good? Feel free to let me know in the comment section.
