FX/Chuck HodesRarely has there been a Christmas Eve dinner as epically fucked as the meal depicted in “Fishes,” the guest-star-laden sixth episode in Season 2 of FX series. Set five years before the show’s main narrative, the 66-minute flashback is a non-stop dread ride — a gruesome autopsy of a clan bound by genetics, mental illness, substance abuse, and intergenerational trauma.
A family dinner that’s going poorly is a special kind of hell, particularly on Christmas. In many homes, even the most mundane of meals can become a battleground in seconds flat by an upended glass of milk splattered across the floor, or a seemingly offhand comment that pushes squarely on someone else’s buttons. During the holidays, there’s a palpable pressure tothe proceedings — a phenomenon that seems in practice to have the opposite effect.
“Fishes” is populated by a roundtable of stars who gather for a traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes, with Sarah Paulson as cousin Michelle, John Mulaney as her weird boyfriend, and an award-bait performance from Bob Odenkirk as acid-tongued Uncle Lee.
As the Berzattos’ evening unfurls, the family drinks plenty, tearing open old wounds, and eventually, threatening one another with cutlery. The fragility of mental health hangs throughout the episode, and it casts a longer shadow on Carmy and Michael and the armada of restaurant workers in America who don’t have access to health insurance.
