Hot Shot review

The setup

One job: buy anniversary flowers for his wife, Sienna. At the florist, naturally, is Katrine, Sienna's best friend, who opens by suggesting he leave his marriage and then sells him tulips with a botanical double meaning. A second run-in raises the bid. He decides a workout will clear his head, and Katrine is already at the gym, flushed, sweaty, and full of offers. Episode 1 runs on these collisions and his muttered pep talks, closing with her asking whether to skip the exercise and head for the showers.

Episode 2

Episode 2 picks up mid-workout, with Katrine requesting hands-on coaching as Sienna walks in. Nobody panics, which is its own warning sign. Sienna's surprise is paintball, and before the game she asks, a bit too casually, whether he has a thing for her friend, then mentions what she spotted in his gym shorts. At the field, teams are being picked. Guess who signed up. Katrine's opening line is a pun so dumb it counts as a weapon.

Who's who

• The husband: a well-meaning spouse whose resolve consists entirely of muttered pep talks
• Katrine: his wife's best friend, relentless, and never more than one innuendo away
• Sienna: the wife who calls herself boring, then asks all the right questions

Verdict: 6.8 out of 10

Think sitcom with a dirty mind and a decent sense of escalation: florist, gym, paintball, each run-in a notch more public. The real twist is Sienna, who sounds less oblivious with every question, and that suspicion gives the free episodes a second layer. Katrine's dialogue leans so hard on wordplay that it occasionally collapses under the weight. Still, ending at a paintball field with every player in place is a smart setup, and it makes the paid stretch look like it has somewhere to go.
