The lack of Bojack is crazy. Both the opening and ending credits are fantastic.

3 and 4 are the worst episodes of the show and pretty useless to the narrative of the season IMO.

The thing is though, I don't think Mickey perceived that first date as not going well and when Mickey tried to gauge whether or not it was successful/if he was angry with her, he basically told her "it was fine, I had fun, I'm not mad" instead of being honest and saying it didn't go well and he wasn't interested…

Mickey was 100% wrong but, as with all of the other times, Gus responded to it in the absolute worst possible and most toxic way. He didn't HAVE to make a giant scene in front of his coworkers. He could've diffused the situation but instead he decided to fight her fire with fire with no regards to anyone but himself.

I finished this today and ultimately it's in the same league as Girls and Transparent for me: well-made, mostly enjoyable shows with some great performances that I can't fully love because the characters are just so off-putting.

I would say the major difference between You're the Worst and Love is that YtW suggests its leads are ultimately good for each other while Love suggests its leads are probably wrong and toxic for each other.

I'll probably talk about this more in the review of episode 9 which was the most problematic episode in that respect, but I just felt like there were several characters who stopped behaving believably and certain things they did rubbed me the wrong way. And then you have characters like Heidi that have no consistent…

This happens every time a Netflix show is released. There's an initial review, followed by the binge review, followed by the weekly reviews. It's not unique to Love.

When AVC switched to Disqus it wouldn't let me use my AVC roare account for some reason so I had to register a Disqus account (roare93). But now it just switches between the two at total random. Thanks Disqus!

Well, it's kind of a chain reaction, I think. If Gus had been upfront from the beginning then it wouldn't have caused her to spiral. They both handle things poorly in the exact way that is toxic for the other person.

If Gus had communicated with her at all instead of totally ignoring her she wouldn't have crashed his party or (minor SPOILERS for episode 9) his job. It's understandable that he felt a little slighted but he didn't handle it well at all. (And neither did Mickey, no.)

Yeah, again, I think Mickey behaved badly but I think Gus also behaved pretty badly and I felt like the show needed to acknowledge that a little bit more.

Yeah, I understand that, especially with Netflix shows which are usually finished in a weekend anyway. I do miss the feeling of a show airing every week of the year. It creates a kind of bond that isn't quite there with streaming shows that you mainline in 48 hours and then don't watch again for a year.

This mindset is basically my problem with this show. The show seemed to be on Gus's side but I thought they were pretty equally flawed.

I don't think every show needs to be 10-12 episodes, but I also don't think every show needs to be 22. It really just depends on the show, and I wish there didn't have to be a "standard" at all. I think this show would've done well with 13-16, 10 episodes definitely felt too rushed.

Yeah, the show hit a high point in episode two that it was really never able to recapture. Their relationship in that episode felt genuinely interesting and unique but the show wound up getting bogged down in the typical romcom pratfall (and especially Apatow romcom) of people ceasing to act like human beings just to…

The show has remained pretty much the same so if you didn't like the first half of S1, it might just not be for you. Try S2's "Knockoffs" before you bail though, which is, in my opinion, an all-time great comedy episode.

This is one of the reasons why I am really digging Superstore, even though it's not quite *great* yet. It's nice to see a sitcom about people working in a shitty job with no real aspirations. We really haven't had one of those in a long time.

I read in Sepinwall's review that a bunch of episodes of this show are over 40 minutes long. 40 minutes for a comedy!!! Did we learn nothing from Arrested Development S4? If there is one person who should not have been allowed free range with episode length, it's Judd Apatow.

Are they trying to turn Nasim Pedrad into a regular? Because I am totally okay with that.
