It's quite sad, really.

It really is. :( It would actually be soul-crushingly depressing if it weren't for the songs.

For example, Rebecca immediately latches onto Josh after seeing him again for the first time in almost a decade. Why? Because the time she spent at summer camp with him as her sort-of boyfriend was the last time she was ever truly happy, and she just wants to be happy again.

Everything we've seen before that point shows her broken home filled with loneliness and everything we've seen after that shows her being forced into a life of her mother's own making. Josh is the answer to life being good and being worth living.

It's mainly about a smart, successful, charming woman, who nonetheless is having a massive breakdown.

I think Fahrenheit is better for weather
Man, Greg is a good person and the American health care system still sucks.

Those songs where both really good as well.
"Thanks for this this town three short hours from the beach, where all of your dreams can stay just out of reach." is a clever line and Santino Fontana has a great voice to deliver it.
Also even though the show clearly presents her as the enemy, Valencia is quite relatable and objectively right. Josh is kind of an rear end in a top hat to her.
The only character I don't like at all so far is Paula. She just doesn't do anything for me and I am pretty sure, she is not an healthy influence for poor Rebecca.

If this show keeps topping itself like this, I will be really sad once it eventually gets canceled.

I wish this show was on FXX and paired with "You're the Worst". The only 2 shows I explicitly turn off my phone and 2nd monitor for so I can pay better attention.

Oh my god!
"Your home is such a beautiful comfortable space. :stare: Like my pussy, you too have wonderful taste."
"Praise the hard wood, complement their china. Give them hard wood and a drenched vagina."

The dissonance in tone really makes this great. I must have watched that 6 times now.

I love that they had Greg do a song; it's implied that it's all been in Rebecca's head so far, but now he's catching the crazy, too.

The explicited version of the yoga song talks about how Rebecca thinks Valence doesn't think anal hurts and she prefers it with a look on her face like "I want those things"

this loving show.

I was literally JUST LAMENTING to my boyfriend that it's like a seven-episode season that might not get renewed, I'm so happy :neckbeard: that only got published today too wow.

also both songs last week were stellar but I watched Greg's a few times because I love Billy Joel and I am starting to also love Greg. A good episode.

ALSO I just realized math means this is a 13 episode season not and a 7 goddamnit Wikipedia why did you lie to me?

I've purchased all the music, on the vain hope that they look at that in addition to the viewing ratings, on iTunes. I hope it helped them make the decision to extend it.


e: Unrelated, but I just realized a couple days ago that Santino Fontana voiced Prince Hans in Frozen, which was why I naturally distrusted Greg.

Rewatch the show on the CW's website or app. That might help, too, or at least DVR/on demand it.
