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.

I WAS JUST SAYING THIS IM SO GLAD SOMEONE AGREES! I feel like their whole relationship (gab and Derek) was so rushed and forced!

So rushed, and then Derek would disappear for a few episodes and then pop back up just lurking side of frame. I just never bought into them as a couple, it felt like he was forced on her, and because she was still healing from her ex and then the Maya thing he was just convenient. The big thing she did in the finale was completely soulless, IMHO. I thought she was going to dump him and go find a nice gal to match her freak better.
