Was this all dropped at once? Anyway just started a few days ago so I skipped most the posts to avoid spoiling things. Not Asian American or either separately so I'm probably missing some of the context though some sutff was pretty blatant.

In episode 3 - were we supposed to know Amy used a phots of her employee for catfishing before this? Because that was pretty :lol:, why the hell would you do that over using a phot of literally anyone else in the whole world. I mean other than setting up the possibility of them meeting.

Anyway, good stuff, though after all the crazy poo poo in episodes 1-2 I'm curious to see if the rest of the show will be relatively low-key or if things will go nuts again.

Yeah you're right! And he does accidentally text Amy her photo later in this episode and then jerks it in the bathroom. Don't these people know porn exists.

lol I guess you've gotta do what you've gotta do.


Episode 8 now. Still generally enjoying the show but I'm noticing something about the writing that's a bit off. I think it boils down to some things just seeming to conveniently set up for maximum drama, and making the characters unreasonably monstrous. Kind of like the movie Crash maybe? Somehow it doesn't feel organic at all.

Danny pinning road rage on Isaac. You can see how he solves an immediate problem so there's character motivation but getting your cousin locked up seems like would require a bit more consideration considering the likely fallout.

June getting into Danny's truck. There's probably enough time for her to do while George gets the gun or something and again it's set up by her saying she hate him but seems a bit much that a small child would get herself and a dog into a stranger's (ok he gave her skittles once maybe?) truck.

Danny throwing out the college letters, again it's somewhat motivated by a brief exchange but hoooooly poo poo that's like thermonuclear level shitead, :killing: if it ever comes out, behavior that is above and beyond what I can reasonably see young Danny doing.

I'm sure it's all likely to play out in the next episodes of course, but it all seems to be there just to move pieces around rather than something I could see the characters doing.
