I felt the opposite - the ending for me was honestly one of the few times an arc concluded exactly how I was hoping it would. I was afraid we were getting a cheating plot or something, but it seems like the show is getting into Bojack territory of dealing with depression in an upfront way and I'm excited to see where…

I thought that too but then I tried to think about shows that have dealt with it other than Bojack and came up short. At least with shows that directly address it. (Which Bojack doesn't, as obvioius as it is.)

The hipster-brag has been part of TV sitcoms since AT LEAST the Community/30 Rock/Parks & Rec era, if not Arrested Development.

It's basically to romantic comedy what Community is to sitcoms. It deconstructs/criticizes the form while embracing its tropes. I'm not usually a huge rom-com guy either, but I love this show.

Humor-wise the show it reminds me the most of is Happy Endings for some reason. It also reminds me a lot of Community in how its able to mix goofy comedy with pretty serious character moments.

It's always so weird when an actor is obviously sick during an episode. I'm always like "is someone going to acknowledge their raspy voice, or…?"

I really like how this season is doubling down on the generational differences between the family and examining not just how their worldviews differ but *why* they differ. This show is really becoming more than just another family sitcom, it's honestly turned into one of the most thoughtful shows on TV in general (and…

Definitely the latter.

There was also the aforementioned Jewish Asian kid episode, which had some great racial stereotyping commentary…but in the end it was really just a Jessica/Eddie story, not unlike the ones we've seen this season.

I'm so happy they didn't go the cheating route. This is way more interesting.

It really seems like a lot of people who would otherwise be vocally defensive of Huang are keeping quiet. Places like AVC's FOC section and Salon would normally be writing thinkpiece after thinkpiece about this shit, but they're the show's biggest supporters. I'd say it's because a) the show is honestly really good as…

I never really felt like the show was "edgy", though it'd be nice to see it touch on race stuff a bit more this season. That said, we're only four episodes in and I think people are overstating how central stuff like that really was to S1.

I just don't really agree? To me the show feels basically the same as it did in S1, just tighter and without an annoying narration to spoonfeed everything to us. If anything it feels a little weirder and less generic this season (someone last week called it 'asian American Dad' which I kind of agree with). I've seen…

In theory I agree that a show based on someone's life experiences should follow those experiences. Buuut…Huang's requests were intense. He wanted the show to be gritty and edgy and a portrayal of living with abusive parents. Not saying there's no room for that on television, but if that's what you want then a family…

Yeah, and B99 in particular has always had an especially heightened reality. It basically takes place in a kid's fantasy of what being a cop is.

That's basically what makes every episode of this show good. But I liked the little detail that both the kids and parents were sneaking out to do something illegal, and how they both tried to hide it from each other the next morning.

I TELL EVERYONE ABOUT TOPSYYYYYY

I think it feels weird because B99 has always been a very silly show that showed little interest in engaging with real-life issues, which makes sense because otherwise a sitcom taking place in one of the most corrupt organizations in the US probably wouldn't work (unless it was some really bitter satire.)

It might still be 13 episodes just because Fox somehow has to fit Bordentown in during the spring.

Nope, Nathan Fielder!
