- IMDb: link
“Performance Review” brings back rival podcaster Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) her assistant Poppy (Adina Verson) who begin digging into Mabel’s past for dirt uncovering an ex-coworker (Johnny Hopkins) with an axe to grind. Both groups are warned to stop broadcasting their private theories by Det. Kreps (Michael Rapaport), although neither take his demands seriously. Meanwhile, our podcasters discover the friend on the police force they have been texting isn’t who they thought it was leading to planning to trap who they believe may be the killer, although it doesn’t exactly go as planned.
In other stories, Mabel gets an unpleasant revelation about her girlfriend (Cara Delevingne) leading to an unfortunate moment caught on video which ties back to the botched trap, Oliver (Martin Short) stresses over DNA results, and the truth about Charles’ (Steve Martin) relationship with Jan (Amy Ryan) comes out to a disapproving Mabel and Oliver leading to a humorous return of Jane Lynch as Charles sends his stunt double to the prison for the break-up. We also get to see some of the new Brazzos which doesn’t look like it could stay on television for more than a week.
