Jean is a sitting, note-taking expositional device who uses her self-awareness to tell the audience what everybody else is thinking and her self-obliviousness as a source of dramatic irony - since this alleged human lie detector is a compulsive and awful liar herself, and the series is a 10-episode journey down the rabbit hole of her own prevarications.
