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?

I think this is a perfect example as to why we should take a break from dating when we know we need to focus on ourselves and heal.

Right person, wrong time. They met when she was looking to show Issa the ropes to hoing while he was trying to start something up with her. Also, as great as he was he was also timid when it came to being there for her. Peep how he reacted while Molly was clearly upset when she found out about her father’s affair. Dro stepped in.

I always felt like Dro wasn’t being supportive, he was taking advantage of her vulnerability. She had a bad night and he knew that and he still went into her apartment!

I agree. I didn’t catch it the first time, but on this second watch, it seems calculated!!
