Molly carrying the bookshelf box down the stairs was some physical comedy gold. Yvonne Orji is amazing.

I loved the reveal that Molly had been lingering trying to get Lawrence to notice her as a "coincidental" run-in. I did wonder if she was lying to Issa about Lawrence saying it was over, because we never actually saw him say it, in order to force her to move on. Though my skepticism might be because I'd just watched…
Love this show, as a brown gay guy it's both very different from my life but also so similar. The music in particular is outstanding.
The fact that we had to sit through a whole season of the stupid, stupid affair (why didn't they get together in the first place?! Why are they even having the affair) and then Cobie Smulders doesn't even find out about it, though she had to go through the indignity of having her own affair, was ridiculous. I also…
I watched the whole thing and I didn't dislike it as much as many people, but it's not good and I can't see Netflix renewing it. Part of the problem is KMK's character, who is really, truly awful and also has no sense of that. I don't need the show to hammer that home for me, but the show placing him at the center…
Hurray! (What's next? John Teti finally finishes Six Feet Under?)
Also, I was pleasantly surprised and thrown to learn that Sara was the pregnant woman from Children of Men!
I loved this, it was so gentle. The little boy was hilarious. Also, I'm now going to start hiding things in vats of sauce (kind of like a King Cake, I guess).
This was a great episode, and I especially loved the haircutting scene. (And the tilework in the bathroom).
No "In Treatment" discussion? :(
I liked the show a lot but I found the relationship part of the last two episodes a little fast — especially since Mornings takes place over almost a year, so while I was rooting for the two kids to stay together, it didn't bother me as much as it might have otherwise had the show taken place over say, 13 episodes.…
This is one of my favorite episodes, and it manages to stick the landing on a season that isn't the tightest. The final moment with Nathaniel and David is one of the most moving in the entire show, and really, for all of us provides a valuable reminder that holding on to things unnecessarily hurts us in the end. Plus,…
It would have been great if they had just never solved Lisa's murder, and also in keeping with the show (just like we never solved "the room" in the Indian restaurant, or whether Nathaniel knew David was gay, etc.), but maybe that was even too daring for this show/HBO ten years ago.
I remember being really unsettled by how excited George got when Ruth offhandedly mentioned the bomb shelter for the first time.
It's back! Yay!
I think it's time for a rewatch (if I can avoid cringing…).
Enlightened hurt more, but this is a bummer.
I think the only scene (besides the state dinner episode and Claire fucking up the confirmation hearings) that I enjoyed this season was Claire and the writer during the blood drive, if only because it was so weirdly shot and surreal. This season was useless.
Super sad, but that showdown was amazingly acted. Anyone who still thinks this show is boring after watching that has never had to be in one of those conversations. I had flashbacks to my own first (terrible) breakup convo.
