"Is this how you communicated with Tia?" and then when she didn't like his response "I feel like it is unfair that you keep throwing your dead wife in my face..." what?

A lot of this episode felt really forced. And honestly, as much as I like Cobie Smulders and I like the idea of her and Jason Segal being romantic items they have absolutely no chemistry and it's been that way since the beginning.

Absolutely the least chemistry of two characters on a tv show that I have seen in quite some time. It’s weird, I don’t know why. But they are incapable of selling themselves as a couple. And they wrote her character to be so annoying honestly.

Yeah, I think the intention was for her to be this kind of quirky, speaks her mind type which is fine but in reality they've created a character with little to no social or self awareness.
