Did this happy before or after Insecure?

Hmm, therapy is free with Medi-Cal in California which is for people who makes less than $1,300 a month so I'd say that's definitely untrue in my state.

I am so clearly the same age as these characters!

Which ever it is, it seems very clear it's Chekov's gun in the sense that it's sure to play a significant part later in the series.

Though, to be honest, I actually suspected that something similar might have happened to Melanie. Perhaps that's because the show does seem to have a lot of deep dark secrets waiting to be revealed.

I don't think Book of Mormon is less appropriate than Avenue Q, and I've seen both (Broadway touring and West End). I'd say Q is wayyyyy more profane, but yeah, lyrics by the same writer.
In any case, this is not a high school production. It seems to be a community theatre company. So, though Melanie may be a bit too…

He gave it to her to sleep in, and he was to sleep on the couch.
I don't see how that matters as getting into someone's bed with them without permission is a clear violation.

Actually, touching even when clothed would be considered sexual abuse which is a crime. There is no way to know where he touched her and he was, apparently, smelling of booze when she awoke.
Yes, they both filed for sexual harrassment but many of their allegations constitute crimes as well.

PS He was her boss. It doesn't matter that he went away (from her allegations he asked her "Why?" and was angry, slamming the door after she answered "Because you're married and you're my boss.") because that IS sexual harrassment at the very least and sexual assault at the worse (as he touched her without…

Wow, that's very little to you? There are a large number of incidents cited by both women, separately, many of which were clearly sexual harassment which IS illegal but may not be crimes. I think that causes a lot of confusion because a number of incidents seem to be criminal.
For instance, one of the incidents was…

He was accused, by one if the women, of getting into the bed she was sleeping in (uninvited) and making moves on her. I'd say that falls under the label "crime", and if it does not, why isn't it?

Unless, you know you're waiting years in an ICE "deportation center" doing labor for free…

It was for the last season. New season can't come soon enough.

I cried like a big baby. Knowing how much it meant to Shirley and to see her get that approval—just the best.

Adorable. Awww.

I think the dog is the empathy and the angriest boy is the fear that exist in his mind story. Hence the opening.
I think with Lenny (used to be Benny?) now being the adult empathy that's being swallowed up by the yellow-eyed fear demon. These two forces are ever present and evolving.
I know that adult part may not…

For me, Jessica Jones eclipsed everything else, but now, with Legion, I'm grateful for a different path.

Here's a link to a massive report (PDF) on pay discrimination, sexual harassment, and other similar issues for women and minorities in the US.
Although there's been improvement in the last 50 years, there continue to be persistent problems in many varied fields. Worth a deep read.

Eek! Sorry for my baseless assumptions. Clearly, I need some work on my own preconceptions!

Interesting switch up with Bing Crosby and Bill Cosby there. 😱
