Central Park is a new show on Apple TV+ and it is absolutely hilarious. I watched the first four episodes several times over, and they still make me laugh out loud. Episode five of Central Park is out today and a must watch! The songs are always good, but in this episode, they are exceptional!

The first song of the episode, Spoiler Alert, sung by Birdie (Josh Gad) had me cracking up! Spoilers is something that I totally understand as a member of the press.  I often get to see shows and movies before are available to the public and I have to keep my mouth shut.

For example, I am actually writing this several days before the episode is going to be released — and I can’t tell anyone anything! I guess what I am trying to say Birdie is that I feel your pain.

Helen’s song, Where There’s A Will There’s A Way, is also fantastic. I said it before and I know I will say it again, the songs are what really makes Central Park stand out among other shows. The reprise is also catchy and is sure to get stuck in your head. My youngest (who is 7) says this is her favorite song yet, and she really likes the rap part.

Cole is getting to spend a lot of time with Champaign this episode, which I love. There is nothing quite like the bond between child and dog, am I right? The adventures they get into, along with Helen, in this episode are some of my favorite yet. No spoilers of course, but we might be seeing the start of a change in Helen and I am here for it.

What else happens in this episode? Owen and Molly are hunting down someone who keeps tagging “SHART” in the park. The opening scene of episode five shows us that Bitsy is behind the tagger. She hired him to keep working on destroying the park. 

In the meantime, Paige is looking into the Mayor after that weird quote he gave her for her article. She actually ends up uncovering a whole bunch of real estate fraud. When she can’t make the connection herself, someone helps her — and there just might be consequences. I guess we will have to tune into episode six next week to find out more!
