Marlon Wayans is such a good actor that it frustrates me that he prefers to do those comedy films.
The way all of these adults have handled the Lou situation is ass backwards. Speaking for myself, I could rationalise my dad being in prison a lot easier than rationalising the idea of being abandoned. Letting a child grow up thinking he was abandoned is a terrible decision.
Lou saying he wanted to get himself together before reaching out to his son is also ass backwards. No one's expecting an ex-convict to immediately hit the ground running but just letting your son know you're alive and that you want to have a relationship does wonders.
I know these shows write the teens to be defiant at times but the adults bring it on themselves and I do find it weird that a lot of viewers just zero in on the "disrespectful" kids.
Looking forward to season 2 since there are so many ways they could take it. Hopefully, the writing stays tight and it doesn't lean all the way into Teen Drama territory. Side note, Viv is disrespectful as hell.
