3/5

Now, with this episode, I feel like I’ve finally solved this ongoing game of tug-of-war between genres. This show is neither a comedy nor a drama. It is a secret third genre: wackadoodle.

4/5

“Maxine Saves the Whale” fully embraces its comedic leanings as Maxine faces what she sees as karmic retribution. It’s wacky and weird in the best way.
