) is at an improbable professional apex. Now in her 70s, she has become more popular and revered than ever, thanks to the acclaimed, deeply personal comedy special she and her writer Ava Daniels now that Ava has grown up ever so slightly, and no longer has to be at Deborah’s beck and call. But she still feels wounded by how abruptly Deborah cut her loose, and the two haven’t even exchanged texts in months when they run into each other at an event in the first episode.
The timing of doing a story about a campus protest — even a relatively mild one like this — is unfortunate, given what’s playing out at Columbia and elsewhere. There’s also a scene in another episode where Deborah begins doing comedy at an AA meeting where she’s meant to be celebrating the five year sobriety anniversary of her daughter DJ , which now plays as ripping off the recentsubplot about Richard Lewis using his own 12-step meetings to workshop his act.
The interplay between the characters, and between Smart and Einbinder, remains so strong that it casts a huge shadow over everyone else. The supporting cast — including co-creator Paul W. Downs as Deborah and Ava’s manager Jimmy, Megan Stalter as Jimmy’s dangerously unqualified assistant Kayla, and Carl Clemons-Hopkins as the long-suffering CEO of Deborah’s merchandising empire — continues to be appealing, but it’s hard not to want the action to return to the leads as soon as possible.
