I love this show but the millennial humor and slang really surprises me. I’m GenX and realized that outside of work I don’t really hang out out with any millennials. Boomers, GenX and GenZ are pretty much it.

Is this the slang and humor that millennials use? All the odd sex references, the flapping pussy etc seem really weird.

Way late to this party but the old gf of Sean seems like she is just a bunch of red flags hung together to make a person! Pressuring Sean to close the food truck to come clubbing... with underage kids? I was like - Sean, move on! But then Gaby and Liz are like, eyelashes like butterfly wings. Ugh.

Ultimately this show was disappointing. I kind of called it after season 1, but here I am, still watching.

I agree that Paul forcing Jimmy and Sofi together is lame, but what were Sofi's red flags? She seemed flawed but fine to me, and I thought the way Jimmy dumped her for making one mistake (which she immediately owned up to) was reflective of his own immaturity.

I mostly just thought her character was underdeveloped and weird, but that's something this show does a lot.

The scene with her ex and asking for therapy on their first date. Overstepping in Jimmy’s relationship with his Dad. When Jimmy was upset about his Dad leaving she immediately made it about her and didn’t give him any space to deal with his feelings before confronting him. I thought being quirky and weird was the least of her issues.

Jimmy needs a friend. His daughter and other friends are moving on with life and he was sitting there alone in his house moping. Sofi can be a friend, no romance needed to happen. They vibed on a friend level, we all saw that, getting each other's stupid jokes and whatnot. That's what I thought Paul was pushing him toward.

I guess what I wish had happened is that Paul had flown back and surprised Jimmy, which obviously meant a lot to Jimmy, and then Paul had offered some of his tough talk, and then Jimmy had decided in his own to reach back out to Sofi. Having Paul do it seems manipulative and unrealistic.

But I guess the whole point was that Paul was "Jimmying" the situation. The thing is I think Jimmying is stupid and for sure malpractice when they do it with patients, so I hate it. And one think I like about Paul is that he seems to get that. You can't literally force people to do what you think they should do. You can love them, support them, give your opinion, express your concern, but at the end of the day, you have to let adults make their own decisions. Interfering the way these people do us actually really violating and a denial of agency for people who actually generally need to feel ownership over their lives. So Paul tricking Jimmy into breakfast with Sofi is just dumb to me, whereas Jimmy deciding after a tough talk with Paul to contact Sofi himself would feel like a proper resolution.

Bless you, friend. Yes, the cup of a carpenter.

I have to admit that seeing Harrison Ford and Michael J. Fox together when this season started, looking their ages, and thinking of all they (and we) have lived in the past 40(+) years, was a bit overwhelming. Not in a bad way. In a I'm-sure-Germans-have-a-word-for-it way. Grateful for all the art they have given us over the years and continue to do.

I was thinking the same thing, even though I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies.

It was an OK ending, but sometimes it annoys me that the only Hollywood answer to unhappiness is becoming part of a couple.

Is there something behind the “choose wisely” that Paul just gave to Jimmy?
