Milo Burke is pathetic. And that's not just me passing judgment. He knows it. His wife knows it. Even his preschooler knows it. His infinitely more successful college friend, whom Milo needs a huge favor (a give for an ask) from to save his job and maybe his life, knows it. As does his mother and her partner. Same with the experimental daycare grad students, old college girlfriend, and even the neighborhood kiddie-diddler. I know it, too. And yet I find myself rooting for Milo Burke. The world can be a cruel, cruel place.
