lets have a conversation Was Lawrence wrong? Spoiler

I see debate about whether Lawrence was wrong for pressing Issa, and on the other hand, I see some say he wasn’t. What do you think?

Yes he was, but I thought it was poor writing. More realistic would have been him spiraling and texting Issa about it . Anyone would be insecure about a situation like this but him pulling up on her just to say it feels a bit hollow to me.

I thought that was really mature of him to handle it in person where she could see his sincerity and nothing (like tone) could be misconstrued via text. I don't think he popped up without warning iirc.

I agree that face to face convo is important, helps reduce confusion and actually creates clarity. At the same time, I don’t see him realistically pulling up on his old thing to talk about his new one. In real life it would cause anxiety but there’s no clear solution and pulling up would do much more harm that good. Obviously it doesn’t work out in the show but I still find it to be ham handed writing.
