So, people who thought the beach sequence was a fantasy last week, I ask you: Was Sam’s initial encounter with Robin a fantasy because it was intercut with her laying in bed thinking about it?

I’ve been thinking to myself every week that the strange amount and consistency of facial hair that he has is one of the creepiest parts of the season so far.

Yes, they really would. Better Things has played with editing a lot. There have been several sequences that cut back and forth in time without making a big show of it.

This kind of feels the same as when people complained about the characters on Girls not being likable? It’s part of the fabric of the show. You’re complaining about one of the points Adlon is trying to make. Parenthood is rarely very pretty, and you love your kids anyway despite them being insufferable.

Being a former Mormon makes storylines like this so hard to watch. All I can do is nitpick the details they’re getting wrong. This show did get more right than most though.
