Gina is my least favorite character in the show. I actually think the show will end up being a little bit tighter without Gina being there to pull away from the more interesting plots and characters.

Okay I’ll just say that I was personally mortified at the thought of not having any HTGAWM reviews from this site. Even if I don’t agree with all of your letter grades (although this season I do) your analysis on the show exceed many of the other reviewers for the series. I hope you enjoyed your break ma’am!

Didn’t read yet because I still haven’t watched today’s episode. I just wanted to express my joy that HTGAWM coverage is back.

And it turns out that Rosa is constantly on Instgram because her brunch friends told her it was what she needed to do to promote her homemade jewelry.

Amy made it work for me. “Keep it in your pants, Santiago.” “That’s exactly where it’s going.” It’s a little cartoonish sure but Fumero pulls it off.

I’ve honestly been leaning towards “fuck Gina” for a while. Of all the characters she is the most underserved and under-thought. While all the other characters have grown she’s seemed to regress. They lean towards “Gina does something terrible for the right reasons” way too often with her. I hate to say it but I won’t…

“We Tapped That Ass” is a shockingly good song and dance number, along with being hilarious. Especially the “big finish” (please not on her chest), which is just cool as hell. 

This is such an interesting take, and I fucking love it.

Daryl is also in a better place (gettin bi + has baby), and so is Whijo (compare him now to the guy on the party bus). Greg too. Even Karen, who’s off hand-modelling. And for Paula, there’s also the improvement in her relationship with her husband and her kids.…

During the shame spiral, when Rebecca said she’d made everyone’s life worse, I was reminded that she’s actually made everyone’s life better. There isn’t a single regular character on the show who isn’t in a better place since Rebecca moved to West Covina. Heather and Valencia have careers and partners they love. Paula…

What’s a hot mess pretzel made of?

That was perfect. And I cannot believe how long the Fett Regoso fridge photo shoot went on, with everyone who came into the kitchen knowing what was up and pitching in to get a good shot.

I wouldn’t consider myself well versed in romcoms outside of the tropes that emerge as serialized parts of sitcoms. But the way the show has handled Josh, Nathaniel, and Greg feels notable and rare. It does not appear they’re angling for some prolonged love triangle. It felt like either Nathaniel or Gregg could’ve…

The shot of Rebecca holding her namesake sort-of-daughter-? (there’s gotta be an actual term for this) made my heart melt a little. Sah kyut.

Try harder? For a site like the AV Club, I’d say it takes more work to get people to see romcoms as respectable than it does to get people to like art house films. And Caroline’s pieces have been well done so far—this column has definitely gotten me to reevaluate my opinion on romcoms. A movie doesn’t have to be…

Trashing your own recent movies and TV shows is still not a good career move in 2019.

But the point of the article (and heck, 90% of the clickbait articles permeating the internet now) isn’t to analyze a piece of art, but to analyze the culture around it

Gonna disagree. Writing only about indie, artsy flicks is as boring as only writing about every Transformers movie. A biweekly column going through the history of romantic comedies is actually really interesting and unique, tracing the evolution and highs and lows of a genre that’s generally portrayed these days as…

I’ve never seen this movie—I missed it in theaters and then it looked too similar to Bride Wars. After reading this article, I definitely want to see it. The only problem is my wife hates hates hates “Benny and the Jets.” She’ll walk out of a place if that song starts playing and she can can identify it after one…

Also it’s just inherently more interesting than “that opinion everyone has? It’s the correct one!”

...you know this is a series about rom-coms? So she is kind of writing the same article, or it just seems that way from the surface. Just like when the other person writes every article about a superhero movie.
