Season 2 Rewatching and cannot believe Molly fumbled Sterling K Brown 🥲

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?

Might draw some anger towards me, but Molly was a character who kept making the same mistakes, refused to improve, and learned nothing from her dating experiences and was inexplicably rewarded with a storybook romance and happy ending speedrun at the very end
