Ep 8 “Not in My Back Hoe” is a quietly effective episode about friendship, loyalty, and the discomfort of finding someone who understands you a little too well.
Hank’s connection with a like-minded newcomer is played with restraint, allowing the emotional implications to surface naturally rather than through overt conflict. What works especially well is how the episode captures the insecurity and resentment that can creep into long-standing friendships without turning anyone into a villain.
The humour is gentle and character-based, often arising from awkwardness rather than punchlines. While it doesn’t aim for big laughs or dramatic stakes, it lands as a thoughtful, slightly melancholic exploration of how routine, familiarity, and loyalty ultimately matter more than convenience. 7.5/10.
