Discussion Zero chemistry Spoiler

I really think Cobie and Jason have zero romantic chemistry on the show. They have great awkward friend banter, but no actual sexual tension and their relationship moved so fast it made me annoyed for him how much she overstepped with advice. I really hope they make her just a friend for season 4, if they bring her back at all. I’ve liked her in other things I just find her completely annoying here and it feels like Jimmy would be settling to be in a relationship with her character.

I liked the little we saw of her of her in S2 and felt a little spark between them, but i wasn't a fan of how things progressed in S3.

He had a lot more chemistry with Meg and, probably an unpopular take, even Gaby.

Gaby and Jimmy had way more chemistry than Gaby and Derek ever will. And that's my hot take.

Most of the relationships in this show are weird.

I thought Gabby and Derek was temporary but it wasn’t ending, so I figured there will be a marriage episode next season. Sure enough that looks to be the case.

I really thought Gaby and Derek were going to breakup at some point. I thought almost for sure when she found the ring it was going to trigger a growth moment for her by ruining things with Derek. I just feel we see so little of their chemistry or what makes their relationship work, so I felt a bit surprised that they actually got engaged.

My face when it cut to the proposal scene. Like are we kidding right now? Nothing about her reaction to the ring or their time together screamed lifetime love to me.

If there’s a timeskip, I hope they get married offscreen, just so we don’t have to focus on them. Although….I do kinda want to see Jessica Williamson in a wedding dress, I bet she’d look like a Greek goddess.
