The fifth episode of Dirty Diana was released in August 2021, and may have been recorded in the months leading up to it, so with COVID, humanity has become well accustomed to content consumption related to sitting at home and being alone. Yet the fifth guest starts from the premise that she gets sick and stays at home for five days and is already bored with Netflix and then checks out the couple living opposite. I couldn’t get over the baseline, though, especially since the other part of the fantasy also proved to be flat and cliché.
Plus, Diana chatting with her girlfriends feels quite unreal. They throw in a few wild rumors, but they don't discuss them properly, the real reflection is missing, But when they start to talk about Diana's husband, the conversation deepens, the words have their weight, the drama returns.
And surely the husband is going through a great transformation, after the external signs of the previous episode, we hear about his insides here: he dwells onto his desires, changes jobs, shows real development, which is again only respectable. Diana, on the other hand, seems to be stuck in her life - and we don't really know why. Maybe, just like in Joseph Heller’s novel Something Happened, nothing extraordinary happened to the protagonist, Diana, except life itself.
Luckily, Petra lightens up the show, behaving in a really fun yet mature way in the second half of the episode. At her suggestion, Diana gets involved in quite serious adventures, it’s worth listening to.
