The director really liked to lean into his peeing - but there never was a payoff for that was there?

Would rather seen pooping. You never see people drop deuces in movies.

I enjoyed the inclusion on something so personal. Sam has a coffee cup in his hands in nearly every seen and caffeine is a diuretic therefore he’s going to pee a lot.
There are many aspects of everyday life that tv and film oftentimes exclude and I feel it does a disservice to the viewership experience, specifically, in regards to bringing the audience further into the world in which they’re partaking in.

It's not necessarily the peeing, but the fact that he was constantly drinking soda. They're probably trying to say he's in a way stuck in childhood. Maybe he used drinking soda as a kid to make himself feel better, and he's still doing it now.

We should count our blessings that this show stuck to urination. Things can get exceptionally gnarly if you go any further https://youtu.be/lk45AXusd4E?si=D5d9sU3HZpuHYqe7
