Like Netflix, we're going to soak this thing for all its worth. How many hours of your life can we steal making you click through episodes trying to find easter eggs?! Really though, for all the innovations in this episode, it feel painfully underdeveloped in the arguably unethical way it makes use of tropes that are harmful to people with mental illness, and it felt like that deserved a main segment discussion. So we talk about those ethical problems in boring old timey linear fashion, as well as related ethical issues in how to balance representation challenges with the desire to make compelling art. Basically, ethicists see the world the same way as the SDNY; it's all our jurisdiction.
