Second episode is beginning to add a bit more complexity to John Cho's own weaknesses, situating his failings a bit more front and center. That quality helps undercut his continual criticism on Gillan's sexual improprieties. The supporting characters still yearn for a bit more characterization, so that the women's book-group isn't so artificially opposite from Gillan.

Sarah noted that Cho seemed a bit stalkery in the car at the end, which could be interesting if the showrunners want to explore that dimension even more. As is, Gillan's refusal to laugh at Cho's joke in the office opening was killer. And Gillan has great line delivery, even if the character isn't being given enough range quite yet. Still, I'm hopeful that the ratings are good enough to allow the showrunners time to develop out concepts, since there's definitely potential here.
