Will they develop a society with politics, law and an economy? Health care, energy, agriculture.
Yeah, through the first 7 or so episodes, there's really been only one plot arc. It's really wasting the opportunity of the premise. I was reading an article about Forte a while ago and it was talking about what a control-freak he is as a writer, going back to his SNL days, and it really feels here like he's making himself be too much at the centre of everything. The show really needs to expand out from simply being about Phil. I'm trying to stick with it, but the last three episodes have been really testing my patience.
