Make your own luck.
Pretty onpoint especially having lived in LA.
The one thing that seems a little off is the trappings of the people you're supposed to look at as having their shyt together (e.g., Condola, Tiff). Owning these houses with gorgeous, renovated interiors that would probably cost you at least $500K, and more like $7+ in any nice neighborhoods, isn't something I saw. No one I knew was living like that - even amongst the dual income, both individuals making 6 figs crowd.
shyt, my bosses didn't even live like that in LA.
Molly's apartment in DTLA would easily cost her upwards of $3600 a month having looked at / been to apartments in that area. I've been to house / dinner parties in the apartment she's supposed to be in (as well as the one they're actually shooting in), and while she could afford those units it'd be a terrible financial decision. People I know were paying like $3K in those buildings but with much smaller / average apartment units.
A lawyer like her wouldn't be living THAT nice but I understand how they have to put some financial distance between her and Issa. Location means a ton in LA, so it's not as easy to convey that over the screen.
Socially and culturally it's incredibly onpoint, though.

Andrew is going to throw Molly’s ass in the bushes soon 
Not sure how people don't like this season because this is some great character development for both it's stars. Maybe because it's not "haha" funny as they want it to be. But this is some of the realest, most down to earth writing I've seen in awhile. Thinking about the next season here, I'm not sure how they go on without Molly if they do end the friendship "for good". Maybe they'll reconnect mid season like Lawrence in season 3, not sure but again I'm skipping ahead.

Crazy how in life you can outgrow people over the years, but its super rare to actually have a conversation about it like Molly and Issa did. For a show with constant shytty communication, this was surprisingly dope to see. Great episode imo.
Just when it seems like Molly was starting to show a fraction of growth, she goes right back to who she is, a miserable self centered bytch. Everybody keeps throwing her lobs and she just ignores it and does what she wants. No effort with Issa or Victor and she brings fukking Chinese food when Andrew wanted Indian, just because she didn't like the nann
That's like 3 red flags in a row with shorty now. There's no compromising with her. Molly on thin ice with dude.

Hit her with that "I mean...if you like it I love it"
Where’s @Milk N Cookies to make sense of all this!?!?!?!

Yeah, I definitely wasn't feeling Molly's thinking this episode.
Issa was the one who reached out first, when Molly blew up her block party celebration.
Even remembered the drink she liked - light-skinned mimosa
Then she sent the fukked up text - Issa and Andrew's names shouldn't be that close in her contacts
and expected Issa to fight for their friendship after dissing her 
.
Lawrence and Issa back together in some form
- Side note- I haven't had Hamburger Helper in a minute, but just picked up some at the store for nostalgia sake 
Kerry Washington directed tonight's episode. Listening to Issa/Yvonne talk about the experience is, Yvonne's Kerry impression

great episode and season so far.
all i can do is smh at molly. she's still the same toxic and self-inflicting person while issa is actually growing and trying to better herself.
i'm sure lawrence is moving to SF, nathan will be busy doing his thing and looks like molly and andrew get into an argument so breakup for those two? i can't figure out the background who issa approaches at the end
my only guess is daniel or molly since it's a slow and awkward hey.

this is definitely what’s going to happen. My girl thinks she’s going to move onto to Nathan but I don’t see that. It wouldn’t show growth for the character. I think Issa will be single and happy about it.
