Ep 7. Shitagi Nashi...

The hit TV show Don't Trust the B---- in Apt 23 has been a hit since its release, incorporating hilarious comedy with a dash of real-life issues. Season 1 episode 7, titled Shitagi Nashi, follows in this same vein.

The episode follows June, the show's protagonist, as she deals with the aftermath of losing her job. She is desperate for a new source of income, so she turns to her friend Chloe, a con artist who is always up for any scheme. Chloe decides to use June to help her sell a Japan-inspired clothing line that she created, which she named Shitagi Nashi. As they set up their booth at a Japanese street fair, the two women come up with a plan to make a quick, easy profit.

However, their plan quickly goes awry when they meet Dean Cain, the actor, at the fair. He takes one look at Chloe and immediately recognizes her as his former stalker. Meanwhile, June's new boss, at her new job, makes her do terrible tasks and annoys her.

The episode provides plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, including a hilarious exchange between Chloe and June as they argue about the name of the clothing line. The duo also has a great dynamic, with June constantly trying to rein in Chloe's wild schemes. The show's writers make sure to incorporate some important themes into the episode, such as exploring the relationship between June and Chloe, the struggles of finding employment, and the consequences of living a dishonest life.

As always, the performances of the actors are top-notch. Krysten Ritter shines as Chloe, who is both sassy and vulnerable at the same time. Dreama Walker's portrayal of June is also fantastic, as she balances June's ambition with her empathy for others. The supporting cast is equally talented, with Michael Blaiklock providing some great comedic relief as Eli, June's wacky roommate.

The episode wraps up with an unexpected twist, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating the next episode. Overall, Shitagi Nashi is a perfect example of what makes Don't Trust the B---- in Apt 23 such a success: snappy writing, great performances, and a healthy mix of laughs and genuine emotion.
