I am not sure if they planned to have Jon Bernthal guest star a week after season two of The Punisher was released on Netflix or if it was a happy coincidence, but it was odd to see him play such a different character.

This was a mildly funny premiere, but all the stuff at Home Basics was head-scratching, to say the least.

The half-good's and the half-not's

I loved this show from the start and found it downright hilarious up until the episode where Kimmy commits adultery. It's been a mix since then, but the biggest drawback has been the increased focus on the obnoxious side character of Titus. Watching him is about as enjoyable as watching a screaming toddler have a defiant tantrum in a public place, and this episode showed that the creators of the show know how terrible a person he is. To my surprise, their response is to give him *more* screen time. I can't even.

I wonder if there will be a day where depictions of narcissistic gay men will be deemed as offensive (and uncreative) as an Indian man running a convenience store, a Jewish man squabbling over prices, and a blonde acting like an airhead.

A plus for this episode is the insights into the plight of the modern man on the dating scene. Those parts of the episode won't age well, ironically, but for the moment they're invaluable.
