Phil lived in Tucson pre-plague and is content living day by day, parasitically off the remains of civilization. There's no reason why he would want to move given he has everything he needs in Tucson. Carol followed Phil to Tucson based on the signs and she's still in deep denial that civilization has truly ended so

How did they do that stunt? it was an uninterrupted camera shot from Dom shouting he's gay to the car hitting them. The car goes behind a pole at one point though.

Oh come on, the legal issues surrounding this are very clear cut and there's no way Adi would win any sort of court case and Adi's being very disingenuous pretending otherwise and trying to cloak himself under fair use.

They show them driving across the Golden Gate Bridge which would lead them to Marin, not Berkeley (that would be the Bay Bridge).

I want Doris and Eddie in a van solving mysteries every week!

That speech was seriously the hardest I've cringe laughed since the original The Office UK! Holy moley, how was this not an A+ episode?

Ugh, I'm glad you mentioned at the top of the review that you wouldn't be surprised at people saying they are done with this show because I am DONE with this show!

I loved Fly and it's regularly brought up as one of the most memorable episodes of Breaking Bad.

My interpretation was that Peter Gallagher was just very burnt out by the money focused nature of Hollywood and found it refreshing to be able to talk actual movies with someone enthusiastic for the night. That being said, he's also not going to turn down Amanda Peet. It reminded me a lot of the Steve

Did any of the people involved talk about what would have happened if this show became a huge hit? How would they have managed to stretch the show enough to get syndication? Or was it always intended to be a 2 and done show?

People frequently have the misconception that the realism of a character is dependant on how much you know about them or the length of time you spend with them, it's not about that at all.

The workshop scenes possessed the same weaknesses I had with the magazine job scenes. Girls is great at satirizing the specific subtexts and social sparring of the hyper specific worlds that the writers know well. But when they move outside of them, they get incredibly lazy and lean heavily on a couple of easy cliches

Did anyone else notice the narration for the opening credits changed? Previously, it said they date for 8 months, now it says they date for 5.
