Molly seems to be the character that introduces a topical relationship issue into the show.

Season 1, would you date a bisexual dude?

Season 2, would you fukk a dude in an open marriage? She's probly going to get invited to a swinger party

Season 3, she gonna meet a transman

For those of you who are going on about the lack of condom use...you've got to ask yourself how many times do you see condom use in tv or movies?. When we watch tv shows, we suspend our belief. If you want to see condoms you should want to see lube and foreplay as well, but this is not real life it's tv. Movies and tv doesn't show people sneezing mid sentence, stuttering or messing up their words mid sentence. It doesn't show people doing very basic human things, like scratching your forehead etc. Most shows, show people having sex straight from having a conversation to sex the next scene. No condom, no buildup, no nothing. TV is not the platform especially shows like this to educate on safe sex. Never has and never will. It's not that realistic. Some shows do most don't and that's okay.

I don't get what's so confusing about this point.

The show creators themselves put condoms in the scenes already, so they won't be doing anything they don't already do. They just will make them a little more visible going forward. It doesn't mean it will be a condom tutorial, dude. It just means they'll have a condom wrapper on the side of the bed, or when it's over the dude will toss a condom in the trash, some shyt like that if they want to imply that this one night stand was with protection. There are countless "realistic" ways to do it.

did anyone catch the double entendre when Lawrence was pulled over and he said to the cop, "You beat us..."?

i understand where both parties are coming from. But it's a lot on the show's shoulders because its holding the torch for black tv right now. So I guess viewers (especially black viewers) want nothing but the best. If they fukking, use protection. If they're drinking, be responsible. Or.. follow up with hilarious results that will teach a lesson. all they're asking is to acknowledge safe sex, not just imply it.

I think it's weird do they really think the show is going to be a downer and have someone be like, "Oh shyt I got herpes/chlamydia. I caught HIV?!" It's too lighthearted about relationships to even go there. It's not that serious.

Real ass consequences for real ass situations.

I'll be shocked if they go the entire series without someone catching something or getting pregnant. Yes it's lighthearted, but they can find a way to make comedic but real scenes out of that too. Dramedy shows do it all the time.

I seriously doubt they go there but we'll see.
