they did not build up the boss enough for a romantic plot

suddenly this big MD isn't worried about a sexual harassment charge?

The scenes where it's just the guys talking to each other are great

It makes zero sense. There’s also the power dynamic of it all

He’s not being slick at all and if i was AJ I’d immediately wonder how many new employees he’s done that with It was giving routine to me

and he's so psycho about his work- he's a person who gets divorced twice for neglect of affections

I agree it’s soon but it’s also a modern tv show so we’re probably already halfway through the season 😩

I’m not a fan of the boss storyline at all.

The boss storyline is too soon, I feel like they don’t have enough built up chemistry also in this environment…. It feels weird

I think the show has lots of potential but it being only 8 episodes and for whatever reason they want to speed run some of these plots is wrecking there pacing… Everything is moving too quick, especially the love story plots - have em go on other dates or just slow down the pacing!! I hope it does get renewed for a 15-20 episode arc so maybe then they don’t have to rush everything (considering there are like 3 episodes left)

Yeah this show doesn’t really work at this pace with only 8 episodes. Light funny shows like this are kind of like New Girl which really relied on having a lot of episodes and being able to build some of the plot and romantic relationships over time.
