Season 1, Episode 2
9/10
It was a very interesting episode about Logan's Run and partying at 30.

Since Close Enough has a funny concept about Emily and Josh being new parents in their 30s who act like immature 20-somethings, I knew Close Enough would have a whole thing about turning 30. Logan's Run'd was cool because 25 year-old Bridgette, the only one of the four main adult characters under 30, doubts Josh, Emily and Alex's night partying skills when they watch The Great British Bake-Off, but they want to come with her. The Logan's night club works just like Logan's Run. If you are over 30, it makes you a Very Irrelevant Person, not Very Important Person, and you are executed on a ruby red couch. I felt kind of bad for Bridgette when she was jail-baited by a 26-month old pretending to be a 26-year old. Alex sacrificed himself for Josh and Emily to escape because he is too old and lame to party, but they rescue Alex by reminding him of the good parts of getting old. I really like how Alex found out that the boss of the nightclub was a hypocrite over 30. This episode about Logan's Run takes place when it was 43 years old. Alex quickly figured out that the nightclub host was 50 years old because he knew about such an old movie that few people in the millennial generation know. That was funny to hear him say "And I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you nosy 35-year old kids!" Hopefully everybody else in the nightclub killed him for executing 30-somethings who were younger than he is. Room Parents was pretty bad. By accidentally volunteering to be room parent for the year, Josh got into a cruel and unusual situation with Nikki, who had a fake kid made of straw so she could scam school fundraisers every time she tried to be a room co-parent for a school. Josh got the money back, but but then Mr. Campbell and the faculty decided to make him room parent for life. Somebody needs to tell Mr. Campbell and whomever wrote Room Parents that choosing to turn somebody from room parent for the year to room parent for life is not legally binding just because he says it is. Besides, what is the point of choosing a room parent for the year if you can just unfairly change the rules behind their back so that whomever was room parent for the year will be room parent for every year of their life even after their kid has graduated from the school? That line was not even funny. It was just ridiculous and groan-worthy to hear.
