Amazon's highly regarded but poorly marketed "comedy" (really a 30 minute drama) is back, just in time for Rosh Hashanah! I've already watched four episodes and it's good. Here's what the Pfeffermans are up to as of episode 1: Maura (Jeffrey Tambor): Accepted a guest lecturer position at a university in Tel Aviv (yes, this show is getting even more Jewish than it already was). Also dating a cis man named Donald. Shelly (Judith Light): After her breakup with Buzzy, she has gotten Josh to take her into his home. Sarah (Amy Landecker): Living with and loving her ex-husband Len (Rob Huebel). Going to Sex and Love Addicts meetings. Josh (Jay Duplass): Hosting his mother against his best interests. Finally coming to terms with being taken advantage of by his babysitter. Still whiny. Ali (Gabby Hoffmann): Trying to move on from her relationship with the somewhat predatory Leslie. Joins Maura in Tel Aviv. Shana tova!

Bumping because I'm about to watch the last two episodes I also don't really get why Davina has her own storyline completely separated from the Pfeffermans The whole Airbnb plot feels like it's from a different show Henchman of Santa fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Sep 27, 2017 |

Oh god I didn't even think of that but it's an awful parallel if it is. My overall impression of this season is that it was pretty good but made some questionable decisions. It'll probably never be as good as the first two seasons but it still wrings a lot of pathos out in just a few hours. Jill Soloway is leaving their showrunner role to focus on I Love Dick and I wonder if that will ultimately lead to a nice change of pace.
