Did you watch it from the beginning? To me the first season needs to be binge-watched. It’s it really smart and witty, but also just dumb and fun. At times it suffers from all the things sitcoms suffer from, but in general it stays fresh.


You have to watch until the season finale


The 1sr season. That’s when it went from funny and cute to amaze balls

OP here

This just about sums up what I was feeling about Eleanor and Chidi. Although seeing that little movie about all the times they fell in love started making me see a little spark. I hope Seadon 4 allows that spark to grow. But it will be hard because Simone and Chidi really have a great chemistry.

I do think both Chidi and Eleanor had chemistry with Simone and I have a hunch that she is going to be one of the 4 new humans.


How did you know??!?!?!?


I don’t know, but I love it.

Oh I would love to see Simone back!

I think we haven’t seen good Eleanor Chidi chemistry because the show has to go-go-go for the interest of the audience, so they don’t have a chance to develop the relationship slowly like in other shows. The one flashback of Chidi and Eleanor snuggling after sex in the medium place, I saw the chemistry.

Btw I’m getting some hilarious autocorrects with Chidi!


I agree with this. We got more of their relationship in the 1st season with the teaching time but I got a good friends vibe. That could have grown slowly into a more romantic chemistry if they gave it time but there is so much else going on that I don't think it's had time to really gel.
