WatchingAnd Just Like That …consistently requires not just suspension of disbelief but a full-on mental break with reality.

(About that: Why doesnt Che get another podcasting job?
Im not assuming thats easy, but it hasnt even come up as an option.
Werent they pretty good at hosting?
What is Bobby Lees character up to?)
Thats more space than the series has made for Che to grow.
