The one thing that kept bugging me out last season was how Jeremy had his own poster for the show given his general irrelevance,
but I guess you're right in that he's a good person to always have around to be a dick because we need some distraction from how beautifully awful our main characters are.

I'm pretty sure the original interview didn't even say he did that, just that he chose the words.

Making History looks very surprisingly good. Haven't seen a trailer from the recent bath this week actually interest me / make me laugh as much as that one..

Yes, that part confused me. I was sure Jasper was gonna walk straight and show us he didn't actually feel pain.

The only MVP of this season was Trai in tailored suits.

Yes to Coloring Book! All Night became my favorite even before I realized it was produced by Kaytranada who just dropped his own beautiful album. Very churchy but in a good way? Not wishing to sell his music, writing for his daughter + a better world… hip hop's very own Jesus.

But would definitely wear an ironic Trump for President.

Same here, had no clue this was a season finale until I saw this review which says it all.

Making soup is one of the easiest recipes in the world, you literally add x to water and watch it boil.

Look what showed up an hour-ish after you posted that, a double review! (The Machine is fighting back)

Yes! "Easier" might've been the wrong word (its all relative) but the main point is being judged for choices your parents made.

Oh, I completely agree with that though! Thats why I'm wondering if I'm giving Kaling a bit too much credit because this would've been a good thing to come up when Leo was just born and motherhood / Danny's Christianity would make her question her connection to her heritage but by now its a bit too late. (nvm the…

I'm not sure if I'm giving Kaling too much credit but I did feel like it was a believable upbringing, at least enough to go with the hints given in this episode that it was more thought out than just tropes.

Haha, completely forgot to respond but it was (obviously) an exaggeration. I have made similar jokes with my siblings after noticing that some parents of our white friends have had an extreme fascination with their kid having "a black friend" as a sign their child isn't racist and expressing this in ways that come of…

I understand why the comparison was actually made, but a valid criticism to the reviewer would be that there's an obvious reason for the difference in depth which I think Kaling did subtly point to.

Even in a Bonnie-centric episode I still felt there was too little of her, even in how it was filmed it was all very focused on what this would mean for the rest of the characters. I'm sure by now that the writers will never reach a Bonnie quota that I'll approve of.

I didn't catch the typo in the Dutch article.
But the whole Dutch article & accident in Amsterdam / Helsinki is in Finland difference? Plothole.

No, I agree. They're obviously different types of priviledge but at the end those without the priviledge feel similar in these higher education situations. And thats actually what I think will make it more interesting, because there is this (supposed) great equalizer of everyone being in the same school.

Yup, it had a lot of faults but seeing parts of my reality in white elite higher education reflected for the first time? Instant classic in my book. (Hope a tv series means more possibility to correct the mistakes in the movie)

A major point of the movie is how even in an Ivy League, intersectionality / priviledge / racism exists so… not necessarily ironic but more the whole point.
