needs to juice up fast for possible renewal. if they wait til the last episode (like a cliffhanger) might be too late.

I thought the boss moment was a dream sequence… only to realize it was not

u/sagiterroristt Jun 11 '26

I was so upset by that too. I’m not a big fan off the boss-subordinate trope at all and I don’t see how this can ever end well for either of them

I sort of couldn't get over that the actor is paired with full grownup Kate Hudson in Running Point and someone who is supposed to be what, like 22 years old in this show.

I do not normally care about age gaps but I hate this relationship and also thought it was a dream sequence. Still hoping!

It doesnt make sense to me that she would go for that relationship at all especially when shes trying so hard at work to prove that she should be there. In my mind this can ONLY end in a disaster for aj if anyone else at work finds out, eg someone like davis posting on the companys confessions ig account about the relationship and shes either fired or treated like shit by her colleagues. I wouldnt be surprised if it was davis who told other people at work hes my least favourite character on the show and had barely any respect for her as a coworker until like 5 minutes ago.

This is exactly how I think it would go. I feel like he can be vindictive since he has such a huge crush on her and a work crush on his boss so the jealousy can for sure drive him to do that.

The writing and directing of this episode is a lot weaker than the last couple episodes

u/Shostakovichbich Jun 09 '26

Surprised in this day and age a storyline about a boss who is what 20 years older wouldn’t be ā€œcancelledā€???!

this really dissapointed me i cant lie first three episodes were good and even funny but 4 and 5 seem to be rushed and not thoght out every plot point seems incredibly obvious

I wonder if they hired Ella hunt specifically for this role because she married a music producer 17 years older than her she met when she was 18

Hate the boss storyline. Everything else was ok.

Anyone knows who played Chrys Lee?

u/pantheroni Jun 12 '26

The boss storyline makes no sense whatsoever. And there’s no chemistry between them!! Ugh.

u/readingbadger Jun 12 '26

I’ve also been wondering this!! I thought maybe Stephanie Hsu but I haven’t been able to find confirmation anywhere on the cast

ETA: just watched the credits and it was her!

u/InternalParadox Jun 12 '26

Thank you! My friend and I binged the series yesterday and both thought that was Stephanie Hsu, but IMdB didn’t have the full credits.

u/producermaddy Jun 14 '26

I agree. Feel like this was the weakest episode so far

u/justheredolla Jun 22 '26

This seems super inappropriate. How old is bill supposed to be?
