man, i was kinda hoping to like this more. i think my expectations were just too through the roof coz of how this season sweeped the limited series category during its awards season. steven yeun and ali wong deliver great performances for sure, but the plot felt a little boring imo. i mean, it's funny how a simple road rage incident snowballs into the main leads being petty asf about it and trying to get revenge for it on each other and then somehow ending with falling off a cliff and bonding by the end, but i was left wanting for more somehow, not in a "oh i want more of danny and amy!" way but in a "man i wish this were written a little more strongly" way. it has a subtle exploration of depression of things constantly feelings like they're going wrong in your life, and even when they go right it's always like u're waiting for the other shoe to drop. i found it fascinating how danny and amy were the ones who would've understood each other the most but couldn't get past their petty hatred quick enough to do it. they have empathy for each other but keep poking each other with sticks and taking it to the extremes to get back at each other lol. i liked the last frame of the season. them quite literally embracing each other was beautiful. i don't got much more to say man. not very strong feelings about this one.
