I’m never rooting for Marty Mauser, and, for me, that limits how far Marty Supreme can reach (despite the talented filmmaking involved) as I have no stake in its destination. Inspired by the life of Marty Reisman, Timothée Chalamet stars as two-bit con-artist and aspiring ping-pong champion Marty Mauser. One of the best players in a sport largely ignored in the United States, our part-time shoe salesman cons and schemes on ways to improve his “Marty Supreme” brand while struggling to find the financing to make it to the World Table Tennis Championships in Japan.

Following the theme of the season in which various episodes highlight a single character, although his sexuality doesn’t become common knowledge, the drama behind Wheeler‘s (Patrick Fischler) impending divorce takes center stage and will even play into the murder of the week when the NIS Special Agent in Charge will have to decide whether or not to reveal an alibi given by a career military man, clearing him of the crime, puts him in violation of the uniform code. Mostly an excuse for Wheeler to lose hit shit in the office, the plot does offer a couple of strong scenes between Wheeler and Mary Jo (Tyla Abercrumbie) proving once again why she is the most indispensable member of the office.
