From the desk
How this season is filed
Two terrible people try something like love while the jokes stay mean and the landings go soft. Aya Cash's depression season remains the sitcom craft people still cite; Edgar's PTSD arc expands the ensemble. Anti-rom-com honesty for cynics — a romance that refuses the makeover and still lands the kiss.
