Reboot (1×06) Bewitched Review

For our review of last week’s episode of Reboot, click here.

Six episodes in, Reboot continues to deliver. Week after week, each episode has exceeded the last, whether the comedy, themes or character development, this series keeps getting better and better and so far, shows no sign of stopping.

Bewitched does however put aside much of the series’ satire and offensive humor for an episode with a lot of heart that allows its characters to grow, centered around some very sweet but important themes.

This episode deals with an overarching theme of love, whether its early attraction or an ex-partner in which a character still has feelings for, but nonetheless the theme of love takes center stage. With Hannah falling head over heals for a HR rep, which Gordon and the rest of the writers try tirelessly to get the two together, and once again leads to more heartwarming moments of bonding between the Hannah and Gordon.

Meanwhile, Zack hilariously attempts to ask out Elaine (Krista Marie Yu), and after a word with HR is told he can only ask her once otherwise it is a form of harassment. Ultimately, he gets his wish. Maybe not the way he imagined it, Zack no less goes out on a date with the equally kid-ish Elaine.

Reed and Bree get more time to reconnect, playing a game they used to play together while dating. Which makes them both realize that they still have feelings for each other. The game they play is ridiculous and hilarious, and looks incredibly fun to play. Key and Greer demonstrate brilliant chemistry with one another and as always hilarious comic timing.

Knoxville is pushed to the side in this episode but seeing Clay’s journey through the series is incredibly important and heartwarming, as he attempts to reconcile with his past and the people he has hurt when struggling with substance abuse.

At the end of the day, this was yet another hilarious and important installment of this superb series. Putting aside the series’ trademark offensive humor and commentary, the episode allows its heart to shine above all else. Reboot has yet to disappoint and has the potential to very well be one of the best comedy series of 2022.
