The Episode Review
The visit of Mavis’ mother, who disapproves of her daughter’s relationship, is the central theme of this episode. Khalil and India’s romance is developing into something more serious in the meantime. Episode 5 of Survival of the Thickest comes to a close with Mavis spending a pleasant time with Khalil and India shortly after Luca leaves to go to Italy.
The episode moves the plot along. The storylines in the Netflix show are difficult to relate to though as it seems rushed. Additionally, the relationships in the show develop far too quickly and in a superficial manner, making it difficult to connect with the characters.

Oh my, Michell Buteau I love you and I loved the concept of “Survival of the Thickest”…but you lost me as a fan in this episode (Season 1 Episode 5). Did I really need to see one more “Karen?” No. Why couldn’t you have changed the narrative? Instead of having an atypical white woman challenge the situation, why not have her challenge the situation and then turn her around? Get her to understand that Khalil is creating a wonderful mural that will benefit the community and maybe even have her volunteer some of her time toward the project. Instead, you just continued to support and encourage the division.
