Women of the Week

Jane Levy had a big job in this week’s episode, “Zoey’s Extraordinary Glitch”. For the first time, one character sang all the “heart songs”, and that character was Zoey. Jane did a spectacular job performing SIX musical numbers, revealing a lot about Zoey’s inner life as well as her confusion about some of her feelings. The final performance, singing “How Do I Live Without You?” to her father, was devastating and cathartic. This episode should be Jane’s Emmy submission.

I agree with the Jane Levy nom. Not only did she have six numbers, she also sang a few of them in two different ways. (bad and good). Zoey also had myriad emotions, and they were portrayed by Levy impeccably. Confusion, denial, despair, outrage… and probably a few more that I missed here. This series gets better and better each week.

Third-ed by Rueben:

I’d also like to nominate Emily Hampshire as Stevie Budd in Schitt’s Creek. She accompanied Johnny and Roland to NYC to pitch their business plan this week. I 100% believed her confidence being boosted by Johnny’s competence reversal. When they came back from their break during the meeting, she was buoyed by his upped game, and delivered a perfect explanation of their business plan. I’m going to miss this show terribly, but I’m totally on-board for a Stevie-based spin-off. I’d be ALL. IN.
