Privileged, 1x10, “All About Overcompensating”

Episode Title: All About Overcompensating
Writer: Michael Reisz

So Rose blew off her studies to be a famous Baker twin, and suddenly her educational problems are all Megan’s fault? I don’t think Megan is flawless with the girls—far from it—and it doesn’t seem like the writers necessarily want viewers to believe that it’s all Megan’s fault outside of Rose’s point of view, so I’m just going to chalk it up to faulty reasoning on Rose’s part.

And apparently Megan us just as willing to blow off her new boyfriend as she is her best friend Charlie. The girls should be important to her, but so should Will, who just became her boyfriend the night before.

At least it was nice to see Megan and Lily have a positive interaction that didn’t end in disaster.

And Mandy has finally won me over, despite the bobblehead and the ho patch, by being so brutally honest with Megan. I know she ended up apologizing for being harsh, but it was still great to see Megan called on her shit.

Best line of the episode was easily Marco’s, “Is Megan someone who thinks too much, or is Megan someone who thinks way too much?”
