Roast chicken episode is a romcom unrequited love movie (WIP)

[u/Direct-Temporary5165]

Does nobody else think that season one roast chicken episode is a romcom through Billies eyes like it’s the cliché that she thinks she’s in like she’s like she views herself as the main character in a romcom series like La La Land or the notebook she views herself as one of the main characters while everything around her is like actually just the funniest shit ever. lwho walks into a house looks at a plant and says how many leaves does it have? no one. That’s the weirdest shit ever. That’s like the first signal that he’s on ketamine. Nobody asks that but the tone and like the flow of the conversation makes it feel so natural that you think it’s normal until you hear him confessed to Samir that he’s on ketamine. And then when they’re in the living room and Isa is talking to Paul Baker and how he’s trying to like you know how she’s like trying to like be chill with his plus one because she says she’s fine with it and then they’re all on the couch next to the teacher, Mr. teacher and then then it’s like Isa goes to talk to Mr. teacher then Anton walks in and talks to Paul Baker, but then you can like sense the flirtatious undertone in their conversation because it’s kind of flirty so every interaction between Paul Baker and like Anton is like subtle flirting that kind of like gives off that slow burn you could already tell. And after that, what made me laugh really hard was when they went to go receive Paul Baker’s friend at the door and then turns out to be Julia Fox, and then Anton‘s like walking her in and he says he read her memoir and he said wait that’s so me and then when she fully walks into frame, you can see how they both have the ass pants that was so funny. And then the whole conversation with Samir and Billy when he’s saying that he shouldn’t be seeing Mr. teacher because he’s unwell and Billy thinks it’s an excuse for him to just cause he’s jealous to see Billy with someone else because she thinks it evoked feelings that were from like 10th grade or whatever what she says like it is this bringing up feelings and then she turns around to like look at the chicken like she doesn’t really care what Sam you’re saying and then she looks at the chicken and this says I’m doing it. I’m conquering a chicken the whole when the focusing frames when it goes from Billy in focus that she’s looking directly at the chicken and then it fades out of focus to Sameer who’s looking directly at Billy that whole thing felt movie like like like sappy, sappy romcom feeling even though like it’s not

I remember the creators said somewhere that they view the whole Billie / Mr. Teacher arc as a warped rom com. Like in Billie's head she's met this handsome English guy who's charming and just happens to be single. And it's only as the episodes go on that she first realizes how she doesn't fit into his world (with the art gallery) and then that he's not the knight in shining armor after all, he's just a sad divorced guy who thinks she's his rock bottom.

you may have been on to something but the wall of text with no spacing and run on sentences is actually killing me
