The New Normal 1.22


Wedding. A perfect ending to the series, really. All the usual unsubtle point-making is there, as well as a few good laughs along the way. What drags it down, somewhat, is a way-too-long musical montage surrounding the birth of the baby. I was really tempted to press FastForward at one stage (!). Overall, however, this is a fine way to say farewell to group of characters I’ve really grown to love over 22 episodes. 8/10



The New Normal 1.21


Mary Kay Place , baby name. Perfect mix of comedy and drama. And some great character-driven moments. Plus a few observations on the importance of names, which I loved. (I also LOVED the clever way they resolved the baby name question. Superb.) And we get a shock cliffhanger ending! Perfect. 10/10
