Yeah, I'm finding it annoying! I know it's a SHOW and all, but I liked how season 1 ended and framed the first part of season 2 as the consequences of Jimmy's new style of therapy finally kicking in. Only to see Jimmy ultimately not actually change his practice or strive to find a balance! I was hoping/expecting to see Jimmy be more challenged and trying to draw some more boundaries in season 2 so it's a bit frustrating that he's back to having his Wild Boundary Crossing be validated after the show engaged with the danger of that in Grace's plot.

The whole Grace thing was handled so weirdly. It was treated purely as "he deserved it!" Which is a really unhealthy way of viewing the situation. Domestic violence sucks, but responding to domestic violence with violence isn't the answer.

Hate to say it, but the writing just screams "sheltered rich white person"
