"It [As Ever] is run by a confederacy of dunces working on this platform that is just getting maximising the value from her fame that came from Suits and being a part of the Royal Family and they're just milking that for everything they can."

The mouthwatering food closeups still work wonders, and the dialogue flies almost faster than Tina's pasta, but Season 4 feels stuck, not doing much more.

The impressionists, a derogatory label they would later adopt with pride, saw worth and beauty everywhere: a garlic seller or a ballet dancer or a baby nephew deserved immortalising as much as Jesus or Napoleon.
