A rare short episode.
, season 6’s “Mazey Day” is almost refreshing: it’s a compact 40 minutes that rushes by in a fit of flashing lights. It’s a story about celebrities and their unhealthy and often dangerous relationship to the press — the paparazzi, in particular. It’s fun but, because it moves so quickly, its premise ultimately isn’t explored with much nuance.
“Mazey Day,” from director Uta Briesewitz, is about two characters living in parallel who inevitably clash. To start, there’s Bo , a paparazzi living in LA who is starting to question her place among her seedy and often desperate colleagues, wondering if a more honest living is the better route. Meanwhile, starlet Mazey Day is shooting a film in Europe but struggling with substance abuse and antype of situation.
It’s basically the “one last job” trope from heist movies but for creepy celebrity photos. Bo wants to get out of the cutthroat field, but the money for a candid Day photo is too hard to pass up, particularly when her roommate keeps complaining about late rent and missing groceries. So she puts her formidable detective skills to work — seriously, she seems wasted as a paparazzi — and, after seeming to hit a few roadblocks, manages to find her target at an isolated wellness center.
That twist dramatically changes the stakes of the episode and helps it keep up its momentum. But it also inevitably takes the focus away from the paparazzi / celebrity dynamic, except for the very final moment, which, to be fair, is a perfectly fitting image to go out on. “Mazey Day” does a lot right, particularly with its parallel structure, showing two very different ways of coping with a crisis.
