9/10
Full dramedy now
28 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I'm glad that this show has gone full dramedy. Jokes about his penis we're funny at the start of the series but the emotional depth is its staying power.

Yet again, Dave proves to be the worst human in the ensemble. Never ending selfishness. We get a glimpse of humility with his parents at dinner, but he still manages to pivot the focus to be about him, stealing the autonomy from his parents. And it gets worse with the final scene. A real emotional rollercoaster of saving-face.

Dave's parents and Allie shine in this episode. The comedic hijinks belong to Dave but the supporting characters add the heart and soul to the show. It's realistically written and so well performed, I hope they get Emmy noms.
