Ep 3. Pancakes, Divorce, Pancakes

Review season 1 episode 3, "Pancakes, Divorce, Pancakes" explores both the light-hearted and serious aspects of life. The episode begins with Forrest MacNeil, a professional critic, reviewing pancakes at a local diner. In order to review them honestly, he must spend an entire week exclusively eating pancakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This sets the stage for a hilarious and absurd exploration of the consequences of such a diet.

However, the episode takes a more serious turn as Forrest is tasked with reviewing divorce. To provide an accurate review, Forrest decides to get a divorce of his own. He struggles with the guilt of hurting his fictional wife and the real-world consequences of his actions.

As the episode comes to a close, Forrest revisits the world of pancakes, providing a more introspective and poetic review than his earlier humorous take. The contrasting tones of the episode leave viewers with a thought-provoking and multifaceted exploration of life's pleasures and pains.
