'Flack' episode 5 review: The most interesting episode sees Robyn finally letting go as Bradley Whitford keeps us entertained
In the latest episode of 'Flack' starring Anna Paquin (Robyn), we finally saw the intensity and passion that was missing from the first four episodes and that is in part due to Brad Whitford's role as Calvin Cooper, an actor who used to rule the industry back in the day. He is now, however, an old man whose fans are mostly women in their 40s.
There is a toxic masculinity in him that has him say things like "I am a very important person, who knows other important people" just to get a swig of a drink before the flight takes off. Robyn, who is accompanying him on this trip, tries to explain that this is not acceptable behavior and that doesn't help. He just continues to be a pain and tries to push the wrong buttons, metaphorically speaking, to elicit a reaction from Robyn.
