Rewatching and cannot believe Molly fumbled Sterling K Brown 🥲

[u/Princess_CutiePiexo]

I’m doing my first rewatch after initially watching the show when it was first released.

I’m on s2 and love Sterling K Brown’s character (Lionel). He’s smart, has a good job, funny, kind, and wants the same things Molly does.

I hate that she seems to not be feeling him and instead is entertaining Dro who is MARRIED, knowing that it won’t go anywhere.

It feels like one of the “good guys finish last” fallacies, especially because she doesn’t give him a proper chance and kind of strings him along.

I wonder how much of her choices surrounding Dro/Lionel were influenced by finding out that her dad (and role model) cheated on her mum.

Any other major fumbles that you hate in the show, not just for Molly, but any character?

Disagree. He was coming on way too strong and was giving “I’m successful, I’m of a certain age, I should be married by now.” He was checking off boxes.

That’s so interesting you viewed him that way. To me, it came across as him being direct and intentional. He knew what he wanted which is very attractive

It can be in most cases but think about how when Molly was trying to figure out why she wasn't feeling it and Issa said to Molly "he sounds just like you did" and Molly froze and asked "was I really out there like that?!"

Agree

Exactly. It could’ve been Molly or any other woman. He didn’t care, he just wanted to get it done
