I never watched Numero Cinco because I just had a feeling that it would make me feel super uncomfortable and just generally be a shitty episode, but the way you're describing it makes me want to give it a try. I could use some tv with a bit of heart right now, even if the execution leaves something to be desired.

I actually really love the ROBOT NINJA episode, just because I think the emotion in the acting is stellar. My relationship with my parents never came anywhere near abusive, but I can absolutely relate to that desperation to please and Alexis just nails it for me.
