I get it and mostly agree, but during that last conversation when Chidi said “Jeremy Bearimy, baby,” I kinda swooned.
They’ve gone out of their way to downplay the sex appeal of both of them— this show definitely goes for cute, not smolder. |

Simone is very hot.
That’s a big takeaway for me from S3 and 4. I love Mike Schur. |

I actually love the Eleanor chidi relationship and was almost in tears when he said Jeremy Bearamy. I also really loved him dressing up as a hot postal carrier (call back to her saying she had the calendar and never made it past March). They bring out the best in each other. And I normally hate rom-com forced romances between opposites. But I like them both so darn much....he’s the stability and moral compass Eleanor never had and always needed. She’s the wacky that he never could accept, and teaches him how to occasionally put his own desires first. I like it.
I also like the sort of implicit question.... if you have 3,000 parallel lives, will you fall in love with your best friend in st least one of them? Does that mean it would work in all 3,000 lives? Is it all that random? And could Chidi be equally happy with Eleanor or with Simone, in different lives? Maybe. |
| I actually buy the Eleanor/Chidi relationship more than most overly passionate ones. They found each other in a weird situation and grew to love each other, first as friends. If sparks had flown from the first day it would have felt like just a physical relationship, and theirs transcends that. Plus, there was that point when she mentioned how buff he is (which was proven in the postal carrier outfit), so it wasn't not at all about the physical. But yeah, the movie montage and the Jeremy Bearamy really got to me. That was really sweet. |
