ZEP stopped being a comedy pretty quickly.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I ... struggle to like Max.

I used to like Max more, he's irritatingly Nice Guy (TM) lately, but I enjoyed him being shown to manage his team effectively (aside, I suppose, from the mole) so I'm sad for him losing that. But I'm not looking to forgive him for taking Zoey literally saying "I will miss you but I don't want to stand in the way of something you want" as not fighting to keep him. Jackass.

Much less his whole absurd flash mob overbearing love confession! If he had been anything other than selfish as hell, it wouod have been thoroughly obvious how wrong an approach that is for Zoey, supposedly his best friend.

Oh, I forgot about that! That she couldn't tell whether it was actually happening or not was hilarious, though

ha, well, to a point, for me -- it pretty quickly got too cringey for me! Same with the episode where Zooey started randomly bursting into song -- I fastforwarded through 80% of that ep 'cause it hit my humiliation thing.

True, once it was clearly actually happening and kept happening it was very cringe-y. I spend a lot of the show kind of wanting to crawl inside the couch to hide, but then there are these lovely honest moments that I'm glad to get. I hope there are more of the latter and less of the former as it goes on...

Our wings are not tired.
There is a lot of cringe and pain, but I am still enjoying it quite a lot. I like the characters for the most part, and love the choreography and sets. But Comedy, as per the title of this thread, man there haven't been a lot of laughs.

Nope. Definitely more on the drama side of dramadey for the majority of the season.
