Why does this show want to kill me dead? Now that we’ve treated one heartache, it’s time for another, and this time Misunderstanding rears its ugly head. It’s actually deployed in a cracktastic fashion, but damn if I’m not hurling things while glued to the screen. Gorrammit, can we shoot them up with truth serum... More »
