Desperation (and entertainment value) finally reaches fever pitch
Romance is just another word for obstacles.
Problems like bad timing, family disapproval, bobcat maulings.
The more formidable the obstacle, the more justified the passion.

What a difference a shower curtain makes!
But, again, it needed to be complicated.
These obstacles were a start, but nothing too compelling.
Were Jake and Katie solid enough to stay together in the real world?
But then that shower scene happened.
(And, yeah, steamy.)
What a weird, sad, rich moment.
Another huge thing There Is a Crack in Everything had going for it was a simple change of scenery.
We didnt have to endure any scenes in the bodega nor in the data recovery center.
(Just shows how crucial it is for leads to be proactive risk-takers.)
Add to that the idea they had found a secret cave tunnel (in a church!)
and their attempted escape route had an almostGoonies-esque inventiveness.
Justpleasedont let them spend several more episodes in a sterile office environment.
Not even marauding meth-heads can make that place seem interesting anymore.
Which, fair enough!
They kinda deserve it.
(Morning nookie at a hospital is maybe not as sterile as one would think.)
But what exactly was going on?
And did it honestly matter?
The virus only takes two days to show up, yet this was Day 12?
So many people could have been cleared by now!
As an ensemble show,Containmentstill gets to round out its episodes with smaller character beats.
Like, Grandpa Bert has always been more about providing a jovial presence than actual important story lines.
Hasnt this woman been through enough?
Its almost unfair how much I care about her well-being.
Dont do this to me,Containment!
UltimatelyContainmentis a show about literal barriers, and barriers are Drama 101.
Whether its engaging in a romance or just wanting to be entertained, we all love a good challenge.
