Oh, Mando! (2020) Episode 5

11/10. Episode 5 was just brilliant. There were no excuses for cheating. Mando and Barry realized they're wrong. Full of guilt, Mando told the truth, and while obviously reluctant to hurt Krisha, Barry had to follow suit. And they're now suffering from the consequences of their action. Will Barry commit suicide? I hope not. I don't know what such action will accomplish. The appropriate path for him and for Mando is to make amends so that Krisha can find it in her to forgive them -- which I think she will, over time, much like Mando's Tatay (Father) Armando. While the protest chants were a bit cheesy, the script was still very good. Magnificent acting all-around. The actors made me tear up! Kokoy can do no wrong. He's an actor's actor. Barbie and Alex were also very good especially during the revelation/confrontation scene. I was so worried about what Barry will do after the shower scene, I wasn't really able to process Alex's butt exposure, lol. Veteran actors Andrea and Dominic were also ok. Renzie's Vince and Marynor's Leslie are my kind of friends -- friends who love me and because they love me, will always call me out when I'm wrong and full of crap. Audio-visuals were still pretty solid. I don't know if we'll get a happy ending next week -- if not a happy ending, maybe at least a hopeful one?
