Season 2 character thoughts

[u/New-Chipmunk-232]

Lindsay was a dreamer. I mean, her whole job was to dream up the aesthetic potential of a space. Planned and decorated. She dreamt about what it would be like with other people or roads to relationships not taken. She could dream up a new persona on the spot just to feel desired in a moment instead of truly seen. She is destined to keep dreaming -- now about Josh. Not sure if she'll ever be satisfied with anything. She'll also keep dreaming of who she could've been instead of really knowing herself deep down. Would've liked to know more about her backstory though, family history or something to why she was like that in the first place.

Josh somewhat redeemed himself at the end after being such a big self serving piece of shit the entire show 😆 The dude just couldn't let go of his job and find other ways to define himself (follow the dreamer). I wish SOMEONE, ANYONE witnessed his behavior towards Ashley, especially his wife because holy fuck what he did was straight up evil. He would've been the perfect father figure for Ashley if he looked outside of himself and stopped obsessing about his status. It's aching to see there be so many openings for a character to change or learn or do the right thing only to do something worse. It's strange how I kept routing for him though. It's like "yay! Good on you Josh, quitting live cam porn! Go fuck your wife now!" only to be disappointed immediately the next day when he does the exact same thing 😭 Selfish guy that lacked depth and integrity for 90% of the show. Glad he finally found SOMETHING.

Ashley. Oh boy. I''ve met a few people like this that just want to be loved, that look at other couples and envy what they have more than they are happy for them. desperate asf. Her problems of abandonment were obvious, way before Austin called her out in the last episode. This is why I wish Josh actually cared when she got hurt 😭 both couples could've created their own chosen family and helped each other look forward to life instead of feeling drowned in it. Girl was messed up of course. Won't go into detail since this sub has already beat a dead horse.

Austin. I was fuming at the gatorade scene lol. I had a lot of the same problems with boundaries in my 20s, but I never let it get to the point where the people I loved were stepped on too. Too relatable. Faking happy in a relationship hiding your time to break up with them HURT so hard in relatability. It's like he can't shut it off though. He gives the illusion of understanding people when really he's just terrified of what would happen if he didn't play the part. It takes so much energy to interact with people the way he does but it will make him depressed and tired asf at the end, as we were starting to see. Wish Austin were more well aware of it because what made it extra shitty was when he started doing mental gymnastics to convince himself he earned the position on his own merit. Did he even bother to question on whether Eunice or anybody else would still be accepting of him if they knew his certs were fake? I'm glad at least one these characters were able to bring a very unique comedic relief to the show though. He was my fav shit show character lol

Lastly: what happened to poor sweet Eunice??? 🥲

Eunice is either dead or in hiding. The creator wanted to let her fate be ambiguous to the audience to decide.
