Where they find Craig's ratchet gf from Friday?
Always say this show is the best on tv, whenever it is on, it is also probably the best looking, from cast, to clothing, to the directors palette of LA and all it's rapidly changing neighborhoods, to fixtures like the downtown LA skyline.
The show captures and lightly parodies contemporary millennial culture, and a half dozen other cultural groups or customs, with more skill than anything I have seen, the sharpness of the writing, and the combination of the shows aesthetic, not to mention music, make it a unique show, that stands above almost all else.
I found myself thinking about language, and it's power, after watching a dozen or so episodes over the weekend, and the premiere. There is a real study and examination of language on the show, that is taking place. Whether intentional or not, I thought a lot about the way many, on and off the screen, esp. in my generation, wrap our sentences and expressions in thick irony and sarcasm, afraid of some unknown vulnerability, so even our expressions of praise and comfort are muted and balanced with nod that we are less than serious, or subtly mocking the other person.
I would have to run it back to quote it, but the exchange with Issa's brother as a DJ, "I got a request", was great. I loved the way the episode ended in the twilight, cleaning up the trash, like another episode at a party in the Hills, where things unraveled a bit towards the end of the party.

nice season opener.....but I feel the Lawrence storyline is being forced....they fukked up takin him out the picture the first time...now its all off....
Issa chose a poor excuse to distance herself from Molly....like u never had nobody tell u bout yourself??....counterattack and move on....
i'm still super in luv with Kelli.....i want all of her...

This was better than all of season 3. Lawrence was the key.
Never liked Molly
Was dealing with a self sabotager just like her a few months ago

Molly is the fukking WOAT. She's shown no development at all.
If y'all not watching already, you can see more of her on the show Twenties on BET. It's basically Insecure meets Entourage. She's one of the 3 main characters.Lawrence chick is so cute
Molly is one of the WOAT, just all around annoying. When her and Andrew are together it gives off so much anxious energy, like one word could tank any good vibe that’s been built up.
