Drinking freed Jamison from her crippling self-consciousness and allowed her to pursue story-worthy experiences in Nicaragua (where she found herself having unwanted sex with a man but felt too drunk to say no); in Bolivia (where, drunk, she cheated on a boyfriend days before he was about to visit her); in Italy (where she and a long-term boyfriend quarreled, drunkenly, admired sunsets and ate delicious octopus).
The appeal of watching people revel in the simple joys of being human — of making memes with their moms, and grandmas, and tiny giggling great-grandmothers — is easier to grasp when you think about the usual situation of young people online, their normal teenage self-consciousness and anxiety over how to present themselves amplified, to a terrifying degree, by social media in which people compete for attention and receive real-time feedback on the results.
But as I looked from the wedding-white princess, with her blank expression and tiny earrings, to the ceramic hippo, and from the yawning hippo to the grimacing, listing baby, and as I struggled to reconcile the chaotic bouquet of sadness, silliness, yearning, dislocation and theatrically exaggerated self-consciousness that Ms. Anderson's work evoked in me, I finally recognized the performance she was going for: It was a long, slow wink, and I was doing it.

This is why we often feel sexy and in the mood after we've had a couple glasses of wine, our nerves are settled and we feel freer.
The lights will go off, and the tall grasses and vines will grow over it all, and the continents will move into unfamiliar arrangements, and should God ever see fit to curse another animal with our terrible, pandemic self-consciousness, all they'll ever find of all of this will be a thin layer in the geologic strata that suggests sometime, millions of years before, a befuddling environmental catastrophe occurred, a strange outpouring of carbon into the atmosphere, a swift extinction of a strange number of species.
Takal and Gaines have a few big twists to spring throughout the episode, but they don't get to any of them until they've spent almost a third of their running time fully introducing their four friends: Kayla (Howell-Baptiste), a sweet-natured do-gooder in a committed lesbian relationship; Chloe (Bergland), a foul-mouthed libertine who cracks jokes to downplay her self-consciousness about her weight; Danielle (Chaikin), an appallingly successful lifestyle guru; and Alexis (Waterhouse), an underachiever whose long-simmering grudge against Danielle boils over at the house party.
