I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Season one was enjoyable, Season 2 is utter shit with a few laughs here and there. It feels like a 90s sitcom sans laugh track.

Yeah, that actually went a little differently than I expected.

Jimmy seeing them thru that window was also unexpected.

Hated it. What a fucking betrayal. Her arm going around the back of his head really underscored what a piece of shit she is. No excuse. She wasn’t caught off guard. She knew exactly what was going to happen. Derek is going to forgive her because everything is forgiven in this show, but he shouldn’t.

Yep. She knew. I think she also knew in the back of head that he’d forgive her. And he will eventually.

In the show, your angry comment would immediately be followed by my lighthearted quip, then cut to we’re at a dinner party together and everything’s groovy.
I get this complaint. The neighbor girl forgiving her best friend was so dumb. It’s a sitcom, though. It’s Scrubs and Ted Lasso. I don’t watch it for realism.

Summer is meant to be a little touched though
