Loved this analysis! The breadth of conflict put a fine point on something I hadn't been able to articulate. When a show can generate conflict off-screen (a parent we don't see in ep.1 is upset about her son who we *never* see) it creates more real estate for everything else
We also have the same favorite joke. "Do you guys ever go to the mall?" is a close second
Just started watching this last week. Catherine and I are halfway through. I’m liking it, though find it not as funny as some do. But I find it very fun and enjoyable. Though I suspect Catherine will now want to watch all of Man in the Inside before we continue with the second of English Teacher. The pull of Ted Danson might be too strong.

Yes!!! The parents are definitely this nebulous but very palpable threat! That’s so true!
