The latest Netflix streaming series, Easy, from writer-director Joe Swanberg, shifts its focus each episode like a View Master, rotating through eight radically different stories of life in modern Chicago. Like HBO’s High Maintenance, Easy is more a series of short stories than a novel, the dramaturgical constants restrained to setting and theme. Characters who occupy the background in one episode will step into the foreground in the next, revealing depths unmeasurable at first glance, or they’ll reappear in a short scene episodes later, all of their complexities subtly in tow. To its credit, this structure affords Easy a more comprehensive world and worldview, an inclusivity that feels truer to present-day America than shows with a narrower interest. But the structure also lets viewers draw harsher qualitative lines between episodes, favoring some stories more than others. So here’s every episode of Easy Season One, ranked from worst to first.
