So strange
The whole way the show handled relationships was so odd
From the pilot, it made it seem like he was the single guy, and all his friends were married/in serious relationships, and it was going to explore what it meant to be that guy in a group of friends who are all in relationships.
It's actually a kind of interesting premise, and I think it's a nice change to focus on that person in a group, but then, like 5 episodes in, the whole thing had already blown up.
With Angelo's death and Marjorie leaving and then the open marriage thing between Dave and Deena, pretty much none of them were in relationships, and then it became sort of just standard drama fare.
I mean, we're supposed to feel for Brian, the guy who can't settle with a girl, and after a season and a half, pretty much everyone's just kind of floating around just like he is.
I just wonder how long they could have kept up with the story arcs they created. If Dave and Deena reconcile, what else is there? Would Marjorie just be pining for Adam the whole time? Would she start going after Brian again? If not, you're going to need to introduce someone for her too.
I kind of feel like they moved stuff along too quickly in the early going. If you're 20 episodes in and you've already had a death, a "stranded at the altar" scenario, a pair of marriages breaking up, and your main female character blow it with both main male characters, how much is left for you to explore?
