Second of all, Reese is the beating heart of the series. Her performance as "Reese Witherspoon but married to Adam Scott instead of super-agent James Toth" is equal parts confounding, empathetic, and totally amazing. We understand, instinctually, all of the choices she makes and lies she tells. Even though she's an objectively bad person, Witherspoon is so warm in the role that we want her to get away with everything. And that's not to say that Adam Scott's performance is bad; he's been pitch-perfect as the too-kind husband who Witherspoon chooses after her old flame dips out to start a new life with Zoe Kravitz. When she gets in the car with the director, we know that she's going to make a mistake, but we're right there with her.
