AVClub: The word “manic” just might be the key to Another Period, as every episode comes across as though the show’s characters have just taken a hit or three of “romance powder” before entering a scene. That’s meant in the best way possible. Understanding and accepting this heightened cadence within Another Period makes it a funnier viewing experience, to the point where the moments when it slows down (coming down from the hit, in a way) can often feel weaker (though not necessarily “bad”—the series hasn’t hit that snag yet). But then every thing speeds up a bit, and the episode is better—and the characters funnier—for it. Last week’s episode worked more in the slower realm, and upon realizing it wasn’t written by Leggero and Lindhome, who obviously know their characters the best. It was instead written by Guy Branum, who’s written for Awkward and Totally Biased, so he’s no slouch himself. This week, however, executive producer (and the director for the show) Jeremy Konner steps up to the plate for writing duties, as someone who knows the show almost (if not just) as well as L&L.
