Just watched this whole show front to back and I was surprised how good it came out in the end. Interested to see where it goes from here.

I felt this way about season 2 but I enjoyed it. I think the chuck episode, bar mitzvah and Doja cat eps were particularly strong (IMO excellent exploration of dating and whatever the f homoerotic thing was going on there), for me weakest point was the trip episode - that feels so played out at this point. There were some quite deft moments, like I think the trope of the "surprise dinner" resolving everything between his parents is so cliche and he navigated through the resolution to that in a way that feels very real and endearing, and much more true to real life than similar attempts at that storyline have.
Overall this show reminds me of Louie and Atlanta, it's nowhere near having the polish or depth of Atlanta though. I can't remember Louie that well but I hope LD doesn't turn out to be dodgy behind the scenes. I often felt like the camerawork/tone was quite messy and I couldn't care less what happens to LD basically (something about his career is so hard to buy), but it's funny and it's just interesting. Curious to see where this goes
